It Seemed like A Good Idea At The Time, Jon And Kate Plus Denny & Stimulus For The Dead
Congratulations to Brittany Perkins, who works in the accounting department over at Koons Automotive. Brittany is the first recipient this year, of the 6 quarts of strawberries from Belvedere Plantation. I personally delivered them to her when I got off the air this morning, along with Andi, from our promotions department. Hmmmm..........seems like I've seen Brittany somewhere before. I'll be making another delivery next Thursday morning. It could be to you. Just register on the homepage of this website. Good luck!
Here's a classic case of just not thinking something through very thoroughly: A Pennsylvania high school ordered 450 shot glasses for it's prom souvenir. As Warwick High School students left last week's prom, the prom committee handed each of them a souvenir shot glass. Last year, the girls each got a picture frame, and the boys got a money clip. However, this year, Assistant Principal Scott Galen had this to say: "Unfortunately, this year, the junior class didn't have a lot of money. In retrospect, this was a bad decision and definitely sends the wrong message."
NORMALLY, MR. GALEN WOULDN'T HAVE MADE SUCH A DECISION, BUT HE WAS DRUNK AT THE TIME.
(Alright, I made that last part up)
Rae's been hooked on one of these stupid, so-called reality shows called "Jon & Kate Plus Eight". I have TRIED to watch it. Can't do it. The show is about this young couple with eight kids and how they deal with the kids everyday.
I just couldn't get into it. Well, now, there are rumors of infidelity circulating around this couple. Kate, the wife on the show denies claims that she cheated on Jon with the bodyguard whose been assigned to travel with them (they've both become celebrities because of the show). The accusations come just weeks after stories of Jon having an affair with a 23 year-old schoolteacher. So, now, I find myself thinking, "Hmmmm....he's fooling around with a 23 year-old schoolteacher....She's doing it with the bodyguard......Gee, maybe I do want to start watching this show after all." Then again, this could be all publicity to get guys like me to start watching the show.
Rose Hagner of Anne Arundel, Maryland just received her $250.00 check from the OH-bama stimulus bill. There's is one problem here. Rose has been dead for more than 40 years.
This is her son, James. He's 83.
He said he was shocked when the check came in the mail, but then he laughed and now he says he's just going to hold on to it as a souvenir. A spokesperson for Social Security says they didn't have time to clean up the records before hurrying out the checks. DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO CLEAN UP THE RECORDS???? SHE'S BEEN DEAD FOR MORE THAN 40 YEARS!! Social Security estimates they sent out about 10,000 stimulus checks to dead people. WHAT??????????!! That's a good step toward getting the economy back on track, isn't it? Social Security adds that since it is illegal to cash someone else's Social Security check, it shouldn't cost the government much in fraud. I guess they mean not much more than usual.

More's Mystery's fourth clue for tomorrow: It's one of my favorite TV networks.
