Just wondering 2

Mrs. Miniver sparking up a joint

"A 2-year-old walks into a bar and..."
After surveing the news, one of my entertaining colleagues said that. No, she didn't think there was anything funny about the news story in question. But sometimes dark humor is one way to confront absurdity. So if you would care to finish that, be my…

Collect them all 1
www.ebay.com If you had purchased this whole set of trading cards back in 1967 and preserved it as a collectible...well, there's no use talking about that now. Once you have used them in your bike spokes, they aren't worth much.
