Outsiders

There's a lot of quirky things about living in a small town in the country.  One thing that sort of 'chaps my hide' is that if you haven't lived here you whole life (and most have)  you are considered an 'outsider'.  Oh, the people are friendly, they just don't allow 'outsiders' to enter their inner circle of close friends.  I really don't believe this is a conscious thing on their parts, but it is, nevertheless, true.

Many members of my family have moved here, and we all feel like outsiders.  We have made some new friends who are in that same quandry - the, too, are 'outsiders'.(even though they have lived here more than 30 years.)

I said all of that to say this.  Every Tuesday night, the local burger joint here in town has 1/2 price burgers. So, we have begun our own 'clan' of outsiders andget together fo 1/2 price burgers.  Nothing fancy, just burgers, fries, and usually one of us makes a dessert.  We eat and laugh - ALOT!!!  I now look forward to Mondays because I know the next day is Tuesday.  I have to say, these are some of my very favorite people in the world, and I love having them around my table!

Gentlemen Use Wipes

Wow!  It's been a re-e- a-a-l-l-yyy long time since my last post.  Several times I set out to write posts, with pictures, and either the pictures would get deleted or something would go haywire with the computer.  Mostly, I think, I've just been lazy.  But, yesterday I was cruisin' the web when I came across something too funny to let it pass.  GENTLEMEN USE WIPES.  
I was looking thru an article about Effective Couponing.  There was a link entitled "Free Toiletpaper Coupons".  As anyone can always use toiletpaper I clicked on the link.  Here's where I ended up:  Gentlemen Use Wipes.  One wipe charlies.  Experience the life-changing new way to solve the problem.  Live the one true clean.  Accept no substitute.  
Buttwipes made for men.  40 durable 5" x 7", s&h included.  Flushable & biodegradeable.  Soothing, calming, & refreshing.  Gentle peppermint scent.  These captions followed, along with little MONOPOLY-style pictures to illustrate:
"SPEED & PRECISION:  Extract the bad guy quickly.  Get back to the base."  And, "CIVILIZED & DIGNIFIED:  You're a gentleman, be gentle."
This 'Find' belongs with the post I did sometime back on Monkey Butt.  Let me know your thoughts!  :)
TTFN, B
