Coca-Cola introduced a new drink- Coke Blak. It will be half Coke and half Coffee.
DYSPEPSIA COLA
Jones Soda makes terrible sounding drinks like Brussel Sprout Soda and Broccoli and Turkey Casserole Soda for one reason- free publicity. The owner says he has created 80 flavors in the past 10 years. None of the good flavors have ever been mentioned on Jay Leno or in Mr Bad Ideas. Sales have grown 18% in the last year.
WHEN THEY PASSED OUT THE BRAINS THEY THOUGHT THEY SAID TRAINS AND THEY MISSED THEIRS
The genius politicians of New Orleans in one more brilliant move are going to pay someone $23 million to haul off all of the ruined cars while companies would be lined up to pay them $100 a car. The price of scrap metal is $1.17 per hundred pounds, so a 4000 pound automobile is worth about $400 in scrap.
ONE OF TEN BEST IN AMERICA
Hearst Castle is not the only major tourist attraction near San Obispo, California. Another is the men's restroom at the Madonna Inn. Honored by the Travel Channel as one of the ten best bathrooms in America, the urinal is a Waterfall with laser eyes to make sure the water is pouring when someone is standing there. Men relieving themselves often find themselves surrounded by giggling women that barge right in.
THE MAN THAT TURNED DOWN $100 BILLION
Ross Perot had the opportunity to buy both Microsoft and Home Depot for peanuts in their early days. He didn't think much of either one. He turned down investing in Home Depot because the founders were driving shabby cars.
A PENNY SAVED
There are many proponents of getting rid of the penny. They say they are practically worthless, cost us money to deal with and billions are gathering dust in jars and coffee cans not making interest. They may have a tough road to eliminate the penny. They will have make an end run around the powerful copper miner and grocery store coin machine lobby.
I'M SORRY. I HAVE TO WASH MY HAIR THAT DAY
I love the Food Network mostly for the shows where they visit restaurants all over the country and show factory tours (A cheese doodle before they spray on the cheese powder is called a collette).
There is one show where the host likes to give little parties and dinners for her friends in the Hamptons. I am no gourmet, but would you be anxious to go to a party where the main thing the host will be serving is Radish Sandwiches?
WHAT IS THE WORST PART OF THIS STORY?
A man in Houston was digging around in a thrift shop when he came upon a black box in a corner covered in dust and rodent deposits. He opened it to find the cremated remains of someone's mother. He bought it for six dollars. The owner of the thrift shop had purchased the contents of a self-storage unit that someone stopped paying the rent on at an auction. He had no idea what everything was that he bought.
The thrift shop customer bought it so he could try to find a relative of the person in the box so he could return them.
SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM
The original slogan for SPAM was "The miracle meat in a can".
There are no pig snouts, lips, ears, tongues or hearts in a can of SPAM. The oldest can ever safely eaten was 25 years old. You can plan your vacation for a stop at the SPAM museum in Austin, Minnesota.
POINT MADE-POINT IGNORED
The cartoon inflamming the Muslim world of Mohammed with bombs in his turban reflects how non-Muslims are feeling about Muslims- we are afraid they want to blow us up. How is the Muslim street reacting? They want to blow us and the cartoonist up.
