More gems from the bus (overheard by a friend this time)

guy: "I was watching the Mummy last night, and you know how the guy's face comes up thru the sand? Well, that's what our baby's head's going to be like."

Niagara Falls:

mom: "Hey. HEY!" Grabs 7-yr old kid by shirt. "Get over here and _appreciate_ this!"

mom: "All right! Time to go!" Drags kid away from railing.

Reminds me of the story I heard about a family at the Grand Canyon who were forced to stay in their minivan. "You can see it all on the camcorder later," said Dad.

There is a Meat Outlet in Springfield, MA. I need say no more.

On package of beef jerky (not from meat outlet):
"The meat contained herein is for personal use only..."
Well, there goes my plan for building a community center for childern with disabilities completely out of beef jerky.

(too many calories)*(sitting on your butt in the bar a lot) = fat deposits

or, as I like to call them,"man-boobies".
