My Statement

"Let me emphatically say that I am not anti-Facebook (Fleecebook), anti-smart phone, anti-Microsoft, anti-Apple, anti-Google or anti-Internet. I do believe, though, that the consumer is being ripped off of his privacy, identity and purchase history. We are being herded into a Facebook corner where what we "Like" and where we go physically and on the net will be scrutinized and sold numerous times to actually corrode and erode our culture while tempting us only with convenience, high tech and flashing video screens. The unsuspecting consumers need to be aware..." - Gary Lapman

Pageantry Galore

I thought the Royal wedding was very impressive and beautiful.  Only the Brits know how to do all that pomp and pageantry.  Kate and William were beaming! They look like quite the match and I hope they are happy.  I know her father is, since he didn't have to shell out for the wedding, ka ching!  Too bad the nuptials' date is shared with Adolf Hitler!
So this is the fifth day that my wife and I are on the Dukan Diet (highly recommended by Kate Middleton...).  My headache has finally subsided, as the first five days, I have been going through withdrawal from sugar and carbs.  I am up-to-here with eggs and yogurt, for sure.  More on whether it has worked when I get to my first (well deserved) pizza and beer!


Don't you find it interesting that both GM and Ford have limited read or black cars because of the Japanese tragedy, but all of Chryslers' new car ads ONLY show black cars AND the ads are SO dark, you can hardly make them out.  Mebbie it is because they are "imported from Detroit"!  Well, in my book; it wasn't that long ago that Fiat was producing junk and gave up on America's higher requirements.  It was even more recent that Chrysler products were only a step above that...



A blonde takes her car to a garage. She asks if there's any way they can fix the hail damage on her hood. Seeing that she was blonde, the mechanic decided to have some fun with her. He tells her,

"Well, I'll let you in on something. I'll tell you how to do it on your own, and it will cost you nothing. Go home, and blow as hard as you can into the tail pipe. Then the dents will pop out!"

Excited, the blonde goes home and parks her car in the driveway and begins to blow into the tailpipe.

Another blonde walks by and asks what she's doing. The blonde explains what she's doing and the other blonde yells,

"Gosh! It's blondes like you that give us a bad name! Anyone knows that you have to have the windows rolled up first!"



A man walks into an auto parts store and says
"I'd like a rear view mirror for my Yugo."The man behind the counter thinks about this for a while, then says "Yup, seems like a fair trade to me."



THINGS YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR AT THE TATTOO PARLOR

"Eagle? I thought you said BEAGLE."

"We're all out of red, so I used pink."

"There are 2 Os in Bob, right?"

"I’d like you to meet my father-in-law, he’s a laser removal specialist."

"Sorry, sir, your chest will only hold the bottle dinghy."

"Just let me toss back another shot and we’ll get started."

"That call was for you. Hope you meet someone else named Tahiti Sweetie."

"Don’t worry, this is a one of a kind tattoo. Your clover has five leaves, not four."

"Gosh, I hate it when I get the hiccups."

"If you don’t like it, don’t panic. I do bitchin’ cover-ups."

"Anything else you want to say? You've got plenty of room back here."

"I'll bet you can't tell I've never done this before."

"The flag's all done and you know, the folds of fat make a nice waving effect."

"Oops...."

"Latex gloves are for sissies."

"Do you mind paying me up front? People stiff me if I don’t get the money before I do the job"

"I haven’t learned drawing a Grim Reaper yet, so I did a naked chick hugging Mickey instead."
