Comment The Post Below...
Greetings,
It looks like we've skipped over summer and went straight
from spring to fall. The high today should be around 46
degrees. But with a little luck it will skyrocket into the
lower fifties for the weekend. Unfortunately the rain is
supposed to continue straight through Sunday.
Speaking of Sunday, I have to remind myself to order some
flowers for Mother's Day. We have to spread ourselves thin
on Mother's Day because my mother and my wife's mother
don't exactly get along. It's not that they would attack
each others' throats if they were in the same room together,
but they're just sort of stiff and uncomfortable around
each other. So instead of trying to get everybody together
we usually just spend half the day driving around the city
and visiting. I don't mind because both of our mothers are
pretty good cooks and the wife doesn't have to spend any
time in the kitchen. So everybody wins!

Bruce Willis Refuses Halle Berry Sex Scene...
Bruce Willis has refused to film a sex scene with Halle
Berry because she is too gorgeous.
Bruce, who stars with Halle in the upcoming film 'Perfect
Stranger,' made Halle act out the racy scenes alone
because he was scared he would get too awkward.
Bruce said: "I get all awkward. She's beautiful. It's
almost like looking at an eclipse of the sun.
"You have to poke a pin through a card and look at her
through that. She's so stunning you could damage your
retina."
[There's something seriously wrong with this dude.]

************** BIZARRE STORY OF THE WEEK ***************
------ Doing Homework Has Never Been This Much Fun ---------
MCSHERRYSTOWN, Pa. - A Pennsylvania mother offered a tempt-
ing but illegal incentive to get her 13-year-old son to do
his homework - she rewarded him by smoking marijuana with
him. During police questioning, Amanda Lynn Livelsberger,
30, said she had been sharing her marijuana with her son
after school since he was 11, and said she had also smoked
dope with two of his school friends. The boy said his mother
told him if he smoked marijuana he would forget about his
father who was in prison for selling and smoking crack. She
also told him that smoking marijuana would not hurt him
like cigarettes would, the York (Pa.) Daily Record reported.

LAFF A DAY:
One morning a man comes into the church on crutches. He
stops in front of the holy water and splashes some of it
on both of his legs, then throws away his crutches.
An altar boy witnessed the scene and runs into the rectory
to tell the priest what he'd just seen.
Without batting an eye, the priest says, "Son, you've just
witnessed a miracle. Tell me, where is this man?"
"Over by the holy water, Father. Flat on his ass."

CLEAN LAFFS:
A woman was at home with her children when the telephone
rang. In going to answer it, she tripped on a rug, grabbed
for something to hold on to and seized the telephone table.
It fell over with a crash, jarring the receiver off the
hook.
As it fell, it hit the family dog, which leaped up, howling
and barking. The woman's three-year-old son, startled by
this noise, broke into loud screams. The woman mumbled some
colorful words. She finally managed to pick up the receiver
and lift it to her ear, just in time to hear her husband's
voice on the other end say, "Nobody's said hello yet, but
it certainly sounds as if I have the right number."
