aazz about nothing

I'm
looking at a picture of a guy reading the Miami
Herald. The story beneath the picture says, "Many
years ago, my husband, John D. Locke, was a prominent
advertising manager. We lived a very interesting life and
retired in Pompano Beach. One of his highlights and every day
pleasures is reading the 'Herald.' He is now 80 years
old." (Now, isn't that special?)

"Slaughterhouse Worker Uses Simple Strategies To
Become A Millionaire" - that's the headline of an ad
written by Russ Whitney.

There is now a proposed regulation to set a 10' height
limit here in Florida that regulates "donkey
diving." (I kid you not.) The sponsor, Representative
Suzanne Jacobs, Democrat, Delray Beach, said the legislation
is needed because exhibitions featuring horses and mules
jumping into a pool of water is not yet covered by existing
state laws on cruelty to animals.

"The most memorable aspect of them [donkey diving] is the fear and
disorientation you notice on the animals' faces after they hit
the water," says Joe Taksel. He continues, "This
is a belly flop times ten."

One
of our legislators is pushing to get the donkey diving height
limit raised to 15 feet. However, the Bill originally drafted,
lowered the limit to only 5 feet. Personally, I think we need
to put a lot of thought into this piece of legislation.

A
new tribe of people has been discovered in the Amazon Jungle
in Brazil near the border of Peru. There are only about 200
members of this tribe and they live not on the ground but,
just beneath the forest canopy. This is great breaking
news... because... it is an untapped market. It is a pocket of
people that, in my opinion, are in desperate need of a
McDonald's and a place to buy "Twisters" at KFC.
