The Potato Girl

An old joke that I wish I had remembered last week.

---

There once was a young girl potato who had potato parents who loved her and tried to give her everything she needed or wanted. They bought her the best clothes, bought her a nice car and sent her to the best schools.

One day she came home from college and announced she was getting married. Her parents were worried she was making a rash and wrong decision and told her so.

"We'd like you to finish school." they told her.

"No, I want to get married." she informed them. "I don't care about college. The man I want to marry is smart and successful enough for both of us."

"Well, who is this guy you want to marry?" they asked.

"Walter Cronkite." she said.

"You can't marry HIM!" her parents exclaimed.

"Just why not???" she asked.

"Well...." her folks said, choosing their words carefully.

"He's just a common tater."

Whew, this sure saves me from some sleepless nights! I had been worrying about it.

Although I've still got a few more states to go, according to the president.

Goodbye Gidget

Famous Taco Bell Chihuahua Dead at 15



The famous Taco Bell Spokesdog – who charmed audiences with the catchphrase “Yo Quiero Taco Bell” – has died.

Gidget, the 15-year-old Chihuaha, suffered a fatal stroke Tuesday night, according to a report from People magazine.

The “mostly-retired” canine also appeared in the film “Legally Blonde 2,” starring as Bruiser’s mom. In addition, she appeared in a commercial for the ‘90s edition of Trivial Pursuit.

When she wasn’t starring in films and commercials, Gidget enjoyed taking hikes, sunning her fur and sleeping for 23 hours, her trainer Sue Chipperton told People.

“She made so many people happy,” Chipperton said. “Gidget always knew where the camera was.”

"Gidget enjoyed taking hikes, sunning her fur and sleeping for 23 hours..."

Wow, me and the dog had something in common.

I ate at Taco Bell yesterday and the meat in my taco tasted funny.

Just sayin', that's all.

I AM a little bit more upset at this news than I was over Michael Jackson.

A Clip, But No Money

A couple of days ago I won a bottle opener (No Cap on My Luck!)from Marlboro and today I received an email telling me I've won a cowhide money clip.

Too bad I don't have any money to put in it. I'd rather have won the cow.

Well, I'd rather have the cow AND money, because together they'd be....

... a cash cow.
