MAIL CALL
Allyn at work sends along this joke:
There was a Marine deployed to Iraq. While he was there he received a letter from his girlfriend. In the letter she explained that she had slept with two guys while he had been gone and she wanted to break up ... AND she wants pictures of herself back.
So the Marine does what any squared-away Marine would do. He went around to his buddies and collected all the unwanted photos of women he could find. He then mailed about 25 pictures of naked women to his girlfriend with the following note:
"I don't remember which one you are. Please remove your picture and send back the rest .."
Ba-dump-bump.
Charlotte sends along this photo taken in Key West of an elderly Hooters waitress reunion:
They look rather mannish, don't they?
David, who tends to hang out on the right side of the Salad bowl, sends this tender missive:
Question: What is the perfect example of Globalization?
Answer: Princess Diana's death.
Question: How come?
Answer: An English princess with an Egyptian boyfriend, crashes in a French tunnel, riding in a German car with a Dutch engine, driven by a Belgian who was drunk on Scottish whiskey. Followed closely by Italian Paparazzi, on Japanese motorcycles, treated by an American doctor, using Brazilian medicines!
And this was originally sent to you by an Armenian, using Bill Gates' technology, and you're probably reading this on one of the IBM clones, that use Taiwanese-made chips, and a Korean-made monitor, assembled by Bangladeshi workers in a Singapore plant, transported by lorries driven by Indians, hijacked by Indonesians, unloaded by Sicilian longshoremen, trucked by Mexican illegals, and finally sold to you.
That, my friend, is Globalization!
And Alan, with whom I have great affection for minor league baseball, cycling and heaping bowls of yogurt served with Angel Food cake and gallons of Juicy Juice, passes along this link to one of the online diaries of a pitcher on the Vero Beach Dodgers.
A particularly riveting entry about his dental history and his recent removal of wisdom teeth:
"I'm feeling much better, because the first couple of days I had to deal with dry sockets."
