Boy those guys and gals can get rowdy, canes raised in glee, popping wheelies in wheelchairs, hording hard rolls to use as missiles across the room when Nurse Rachet wasn't looking, and after 14 times through "We Wish you a Merry Christmas", the old man in the corner let go of one of the alto's tushes. In all it was a wild time at the place until the cops came to restore order.<BR/><BR/>Whew...At least they didn't try to roast my chestnuts while I sang the song!<BR/><BR/>Double whew!

(Including your mind)<BR/><BR/>I was at a friend's a couple days ago, and he got a whole crate of grapefruit from a client who's involved somehow in the grapefruit-growing industry. (Poor guy)<BR/><BR/>So my friend cuts me a grapefruit for breakfast. My first response was, "Are we on a diet? And will it really last long enough to get through a whole crate of grapefruit?"<BR/><BR/>And he was like... "This is exceptional grapefruit. Just try it." <BR/><BR/>Which for some reason I did.<BR/><BR/>"Isn't that sweet?" he said.<BR/><BR/>"Compared to what? Lemons?" <BR/><BR/>Yeah, so it turns out that the best grapefruit in the world is still not an orange. And if you really feel the need to contaminate a perfectly good glass of rum with its juice couldn't you just lie and tell us you used pineapple juice?
