Post-Palooza, Quote Of The Week & More Chips
Happy Birthday, and whatever happened to Bobbie Gentry, former Las Vegas showgirl-turned-country singer, and one-hit wonder (Ode To Billie Joe).
She is 65 today.Our QUOTE OF THE WEEK comes from Brad Pitt, a good-looking guy, but apparently as dumb as a bag of hammers.
Over the weekend, the German magazine Bild asked him if he believed in God. Here's his reply:
"No, no, no! I'm probably 20% atheist, 80% agnostic and 10% believer."This is definitely the greatest country on earth, and here's just another example as to why:
Because of the recession, snacks are getting bigger. Last year, because of ingredient costs soaring, chip bags, cereal, cookie boxes and ice cream cartons were shrinking. But this year, with heavy competition from cheaper store brands, snack packages are growing bigger.
Frito-Lay has made their bags of Doritos, Fritos and Cheetos 20% bigger with no increase in price in order to attract consumers. Snack Factory pretzel bags are now 25% larger, also for the same price as the previous size.
So think about this, we are probably the only nation in the world whose people will come out of a depression FATTER than they were when we went into it.
In the words of my comedian buddy Yakov Smirnoff, "What A country!"
