Occasionally Seen in Florida

Well, almost! 
There's a sizeable cultural shock
that goes with encountering the
relative relaxed modesty and
alcohol intake in South Florida.


I'm still working on it.

A No-Show for the Prom, But Still a Class Act

Talia Maselli of Newington, Connecticut wanted to go to her high school prom only if she could go with "the most delightful man in all of America"; so she wrote to invite Vice President Joe Biden!

Biden, very much married, couldn't make it, but sent a handwritten card and a corsage he picked out — baby's breath, white roses and red, white and blue ribbons.  Talia received this corsage the day before the scheduled prom. 

She thought that Biden was funny and "would be fun to hang out with."

She had threatened, if he turned her down, to invite Speaker John Boehner.

Joe Biden and Talia Maselli may meet at the White House in July.

This Republican girl thinks that he was really cool!

The C-String

I just want to report on the most outlandish innovation in swimwear that has hit the Florida beaches: the C-string!

Think of this as a substitute for the bikini bottom.  If you thought the string bikini or the thong reached levels of daring, this  little nothing pushes things a bit further.

I'm not sure; but I think it might have originated in South America, where there seems to be a competition for making swimwear increasingly daring.  Let's say that this pushes the envelope a bit further.  It must take a special act of faith to presume that it would stay in place with any kind of use!

Toto, I don't think we're in North Dakota any more!

I do not plan to go in this direction.  A granny bikini is daring enough, especially considering that I have an ample backside.

Three Blondes

Three blonde friends died together in a car wreck. They found themselves standing in front of the pearly gates with St. Peter. He told them that before they could enter heaven, they had to tell him what Easter was about.


The first blonde said, “Easter is a big holiday where we give thanks, have a big feast and eat turkey.”


“Nooooo,” said St. Peter. “You don’t get in.”


The second blonde said, “Easter is the holiday that we celebrate Jesus’ being born of the virgin and give gifts to each other.”


“Nooooo,” said St. Peter. “You don’t get in, either.”


The third blonde said, “Well, I know what Easter is all about. Easter is a Christian holiday which coincides with the Jewish Passover. After Jesus celebrated Passover with His disciples, He was betrayed by Judas and turned over to the Romans. They crucified Him on a cross. After He died, they buried him in a tomb and put a huge boulder in front of it.”


“Very good!” said St. Peter.


The blonde continued. “Now, every year, the Jews roll the stone away and Jesus comes out. If He sees his shadow, we have 6 more weeks of basketball.”


St. Peter fainted!
