 Fogie's Folly

Greetings, Laff Lovers!!!

Mrs. Fogie thinks I've been spending too much time at the pc lately. I will admit that we have been working extra hard at the office and I tend to come home and work even more. "But," I said to her, "I feel fine. I enjoy my work and there's a lot to do to get us up to speed for Ashby's new publishing agenda."

She rubbed my shoulders. "Geez," she said. "Your shoulders are so tight and your neck feels so tense. I really wish you would ease up some."

"I swear," I said, "I'm fine. Besides, my body might appreciate the computer break but my mind would know that I was slacking."

"Let me rub your back some," she lamented. "Wow, your back is so tight and I can feel all the knots in it. You really need to step away from the computer once in a while."

"Nonsense," I replied. "Man, that back rub feels great... Could you scroll down a bit?"

Tensely,

me

Is it just me or does anyone else find it absolutely amazing that the U. S. government can track a cow born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she sleeps in the state of Washington, and determine exactly what that cow ate. They can also track her calves right to their stalls, and tell you what kind of feed they ate. But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around in their country, including people that are trying to blow up important structures in the U.S. My solution is to give every illegal alien a cow as soon as they enter the country.

"Doesn't it bother you when people litter? The most creative rationale for throwing an apple core out the window is 'It will plant seeds for other trees to grow.' And, of course, our highways are lined with apple trees -- right next to all the cigarette bushes."

 Notorious News
[UPDATE: We reported in our last issue that eBay had canceled bids for a grilled cheese sandwich that its owner said bears the image of the Virgin Mary. Late that afternoon, ebay reversed its decision...]

Virgin Mary Grilled Cheese Back Up on EBay

MIAMI - The Internet auction house eBay Inc. reversed itself Tuesday and is allowing bids for half of a 10-year-old grilled cheese sandwich that its owner says bears the image of the Virgin Mary. Diana Duyser, of Hollywood, put the sandwich up for sale last week, drawing bids as high as $22,000 before eBay pulled the item Sunday night. The page was viewed almost 100,000 times before being taken down.

An e-mail Duyser received from eBay said the sandwich broke its policy, which "does not allow listings that are intended as jokes." But Duyser, a work-from-home jewelry designer who has bought and sold items on eBay for two years, said the grilled cheese wasn't a joke.

The auction was back on Tuesday afternoon with a top bid of $5,100. The winning bidder also has to pay $9.95 for shipping. In mocking response, two similar items were later posted — grilled cheese sandwiches bearing the images of the Virgin Mary's used gum and Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen.

[The final bid for the sam'ich was $63,000! I can not believe the national attention this thing has gotten! What I can believe is the entrepreneurial spirit of others making fun of the issue and capitalizing from it. And we here at the Follies say, "If you can't beat 'em..." Thus, we are proud to present in the Fru-Fru store our own "I Ate The Virgin Mary Grilled Cheese, It Was Sacrilicious!" t-shirt. These will be available for a limited time, so gobble one up now!]

A Polish immigrant goes to the Department of Motor Vehicles to apply for a driver's license. He has to take an eye test.

They show him a card with the letters C Z W I X N O S T A C Z.

"Can you read this?" the optician asks.

"Read it?" the Polish guy replies, "Heck, I know the guy."

A man asked his wife what she'd like for her birthday. "I'd love to be six again," she replied.

On the morning of her birthday, he got her up bright and early and off they went to a local theme park. What a day! He put her on every ride in the park: the Death Slide, the Screaming Loop, the Wall of Fear -- everything there was!

Five hours later she staggered out of the theme park, her head reeling and her stomach upside down. Right to a McDonald's they went, where her husband ordered her a Big Mac along with extra fries and a chocolate shake.

Then it was off to a movie - and hot dogs, popcorn, soda pop and candy. What a fabulous adventure! Finally she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed into bed.

He leaned over and lovingly asked, "Well, dear, what was it like being six again?"

She half opened one eye. "You idiot, I meant my dress size."

Regarding "US Military Plane Fires on NJ School"...

This stupid guy needs to be in jail! How about in the electric chair for being such an idiot? How the heck does an idiot like that get to pilot an F-16 to begin with? -Mark
[And if he keeps up the good work he could become President some day.]

"No child left..." Liberals don't support family values and are pro-death. Your point? -Jerry, Sacramento, Ca
[Damn... You make me sound so... so... evil. I didn't even know that I don't support family values and that I am pro-death. This comes as somewhat of a shock to learn these things about myself. I'll try to model myself more after my conservative following and believe that killing is ok only AFTER the cord is cut; that would make me more Christian and God-fearing, right? BTW, since when is firing on NJ school children a moral value?]

Let that be a warning to all you libs. You are no longer safe. Next time they will not miss! -Johnny
[Stiffen your wrist when you say that. Anyway, are you suggesting that it's only us pesky liberals that attend middle school?]

Was that G.W's way of letting our babies begin to understand how his "Plans for a better America" will start to be? Bomb the schools here and that will get these helions in line! Why would they send a plane up over our country with live ammo? I guess this is our better America...LOL!! -Tricia
[Well, we do need to get those rebellious blue states back in line.]

Regarding "Newborn Twins Named Yasser and Arafat"...

Some folks just should not reproduce. -Bama Honey
[Odd... I opened your email and thought the very same thing.]

General comments...

Fogie, do you have a brother that is like you and available? You are just the kind of man I want but since Mrs. Fogie got to you first, I thought I'd try the next best thing. -Kaitlin
[Sorry, Kaitlin, no available brothers. BUT, I do have an available sister if you happen to go that way.]

I have to say thank you Fogie, and all the crew, I work nights and when I come home at 7 am and read the Follies its makes me laugh till I cry. it makes for a good end to my night/and or morning. I know the neighbors think I'm nuts, and maybe I am, after all, I'm A CANADIAN. -Darlene
[Don't worry, Darlene, proof that insanity and being Canadian are linked is purely circumstantial at this point.]

Women's breasts were declared a non-sexual object by the state legislature, and women are therefore allowed to go topless in public anywhere in NY state. -Gina
[Of course! Who would possibly get aroused by women's' breasteses?]

I need an answer to a question I've been asking about for years. Why do straight men think it's so disgusting to see gay males kissing... but they would break their necks to watch 2 women kissing? -Lynn
[If you don't know, I can't explain it.]

Hey Fogie, just like the network "news", you are completely biased. You and the liberal media slant things the way you want to. I listen to NPR all the time and it is amazing that whenever John Kerry speaks they replay almost the whole speech. But, I have yet to hear more than a full sentence of one of Bush's speeches. Anyway, that's just my opinion. -Lori
[No, I'm sure they play Bush's speeches in full... it's just hard to get him to use complete sentences.]

What I find odd is how many people fire off violent verbal assaults at you for voicing your own opinion in your own newsletter. I didn't subscribe because I thought you were morally or politically aligned to my beliefs; I subscribed because you compile a funny collection of strange and idiotic anecdotes that make me gasp and laugh. That's what I look for in my inbox. Keep up the good work! -Stephanie
[Thank you, Steph. While the laugh part doesn't surprise me, it's been a while since I made a woman gasp.]
