 Fogie's Folly

Greetings, Laff Lovers!!!

Sorry to be gone for so long, Folliers... I guess I owe you an explanation... Actually, I don't owe you diddly, but I'll tell ya anyway.

A few months ago my agent, Linda, called me. "Hey, Fogie, she said, "I got a call from a small college and they want you to come and speak there. So, I made a couple of calls to some other schools and they would also be like to have you come and speak. We might even book a few comedy clubs along the way. Yeah, a Fogie tour. You can take your laptop and do the Follies from the road. It'll be great! Are you interested?

"What do they want me to talk about?" I queried.

"Uhm, I'm not really sure... Let me give them a call back and see what they're looking for."

(Imagine spinning clock sequence here as the minutes pass...)

"They want you to talk about what you do," she said on her return call.

"Oh," I said. "Hang on just a sec."

I turned to Mrs. Fogie and told her the story and asked her, "Honey, what is it that I do?"

"You look at the world in a twisted way, make fun of everyone, and inflate your own ego."

"Oh," I said as I returned the phone to my ear. "Sure, Linda, count me in. Sounds like a hoot."

I discovered that my laptop was fried on the first stop, but the tour was a blast... meeting Folliers from across the land, seeing the sights, playing new golf courses, and making fun of the next generation of leaders. Yeah, good times.

Have a very LARGE day, Folliers!

Fogie has left the buildingly,

"I see you were last employed by a psychiatrist," said the employer to the applicant. "Why did you leave?"

"Well," she replied, "I just couldn't win. If I was late to work, I was hostile. If I was early, I had an anxiety complex. If I was on time, I was compulsive."

Ice Cream Vendor Punches Complaining Boy

PITTSBURGH - Throwing a punch at a boy complaining about the cost of his cold treat has landed an ice cream vendor in hot water.

Nazzareno Didiano, 44, was placed on probation and ordered to attend anger management classes after a trial Tuesday over the May 2004 incident.

The boy, now 14, told the judge that Didiano attacked him as he sat on his bike just blocks from an initial confrontation. The boy testified that Didiano pulled him off the bike, punched him in the face and slammed him into a wall.

Didiano acknowledged confronting the boy, but denied punching him. He said the boy had used various obscenities.

"He instigated the whole thing," Didiano said. "I wanted to tell him I didn't appreciate being talked to like that."

Didiano, who was found guilty of simple assault, lost his job with Paul's Ice Cream Co.

One morning, after her husband had gone to work, his wife decided to have a leisurely bath. She undressed and then remembered that the gas was still on in the kitchen. Wrapped in a towel, she went downstairs.

She was about to turn off the gas when she heard footsteps. She realized at once that it was the milkman since the arrangement was for him to deliver the milk to the kitchen. So she ran to the nearest door, the broom cupboard and made it just in time.

The footsteps grew louder and the door opened. It was the man from the Gas Company who had called to read the meter.

For a moment she was speechless. Then she said, "Sorry, I was expecting the milkman."

Once there was a golfer whose drive landed on an anthill. Rather than move the ball, he decided to hit it where it lay. He gave a mighty swing. Clouds of dirt and sand and ants exploded from the spot. Everything but the golf ball. It sat in the same spot.

So he lined up and tried another shot. Clouds of dirt and sand and ants went flying again. The golf ball didn't even wiggle.

Two ants survived. One dazed ant said to the other, "Whoa! What are we going to do?"

Said the other ant: "I don't know about you, but I'm going to get on the ball."

Regarding "Family Seeks Easter Eggs Full of Cash"...

You stated, "The makeup of most of the patrons who shop Salvation Army thrift stores would probably be lower class, those who are socioeconomicly downtrodden, the poor in general, crack addicts and hos... Yeah, I'd say the money will be returned." What a tacky and irresponsible generalization! You arrogant, egomaniacal, pompous, eccentric jerk! -Jennifer
[You forgot "superior".]

What makes you so special that you think only pimps, drug dealers and prostitutes shop from thrift stores? I have found several bargains on quality merchandise in some of my local thrift shops! -Alex
[So, are you a pimp, drug dealer or ho?]

Your comment was tacky and tasteless! You should apologize to those you may have offended and all of your readers! -Sexy Shawna
[OK... I apologize for that incredibly tacky and tasteless statement. I am a bad man. I need a spanking. Now, tell us about yourself, Shawna.]

God SMOTE those people because they did in Gramma. Some poor crack head who got the guilts about leaving the kids alone for days at a time bought those eggs, and when she saw what was in them went on a right proper bender. I'll bet her kids burnt down the tenement building with themselves inside, and She still has no idea, seeing that she is still coked to the gills in some skid row motel room. Seems Gramma's good intentions are teaching a lot of lessons in that part of the world. Those poor people. -Christopher
[I'll take divine intervention for $500,000 Alex.]

I just hope that everybody is aware that if you deposit more than ten grand in cash into a bank at one time, they have to file a rat form with the irs. now that could lead to a REAL tragedy. -Pete, Grand Prarie, TX
[Not necessarily! The crack ho who bought the eggs may have had an epiphany... a voice in her ear told her on the downlow to be a web designer, and since anybody can be a web designer in 24 hours, there was her shingle hanging up over her unit in the housing project. Along came Killa, head of the local Crips, who aksed her "you be doin' web design?" She said, "Right on, bro," and he said "I wanna branch out into the only netbiz makes any quan, and we all knows what dat is." Soon enough, she was webmaster for mcporn.com, and since she knew every 14 year old pregnant crack ho in the hood, it wasn't long before she prevailed on Killa to steal a digital camera from Best Buy, and by nightfall alla da homegirls was immortalized in full frontal, and two of them said to themselves "WOW! I's can go to college now and still have enough money for bling," and they're on their way to associate degrees in b'ness with a view to selling insurance because they know that you can make more money staging fake auto accidents through the duck and swoop method than could fit in all the plastic easter eggs in the world, let alone the east side. And Rufus, the local chiropracter, is on board now as well as Morris the attuhney, who was almost disbarred when he shtupped the opposing party in a divorce case and charged his client $250/hour for the pleasure, and they all on the right beat now in the ownership society of G. Dubbya!]

So this is what they mean by a nest egg! -Zippy, Washington DC
[Actually, grandma was going to hide the eggs for herself on Saturday. With her Alzheimer's she would have forgotten where they were by Sunday morning.]

General comments...

Links between the ancient Maya and Ukuleles, Ornithoilogy, the Chinese and Afro-Americans both came up with barbecued Ribs, and Jews and the Irish both invented corned beef. Is this evidence of Aliens? -Bil & Miz J
[No. Your parents, however...]

The reader comment section really cracks me up the most. The more letters the merrier. Keep up the good work and if you start running out of insults, I have plenty. -PeterN, in Connecticut
[Yeah, I bet you hear them a lot.]

I love the way you tell it like it is, straight up. My mouth has made me a few enemies in my time, oh well, if they don't like the truth-don't ask! -Tyler
[It's most likely your breath that's making enemies.]

Fogie, has the king become a pawn? The ceremony of the pope used to be called a coronation when popes wore crowns, now it's just an "installation". -Mark
[That's because the traditional crown was sold several years ago on e-Bay to cover mounting legal fees.]

Hi Fogie. I am a big believer in fate. Do you believe in fate, do you know what your fate is? Or are you just doing this job to torture yourself and us readers? -Maggie, Crescent City, CA
[Fate is what mental midgets use to explain why their lives stink.]

How can it be that four senior officers overseeing prison policies at Abu Ghraib prison were cleared of any responsibility for the abuse of inmates? Did they not bear ANY responsibility or did they just hang the little guys out to take the punishment?!? -Karen, Alexandria, IN
[They had a foolproof alibi: they were all busy overseeing the looting of Iraq's major art museums and directing distribution of Saddam's arms and ammo to the insurgents.]

I see athlete thugs are at it again... baseball star Jose Canseco and his brother were assessed $700,000 in damages in a suit brought by two men they beat up in a Miami nightclub. Will these prima donna's ever learn? -April
[Not to worry. The boys will recoup most of it from Pete Rose who wagered that they'd beat the rap.]

Fogie you are a pig-brained idiot. The putrescent stench you call writing makes me want to vomit all over you. You are an egregious ass and your pointless drivel sends me to depths of boredom which I never experience with the exception of the times that I read your column. -Your Loving Fan, Kaleigh
[Aren't I lucky to be blessed with devoted fans like this. Speaking of a 'putrescent stench' did a donkey just take a dump or did you raise your arms?]

well the only thing i have to say to you....oh i know your dying to read this....screw you!!! -Kimmer
[Spent all weekend thinking that one up, did you?]

Fogie, you southerners have got to get a grip! I just read about a proposed Alabama bill that would ban books by gay and lesbian authors from public schools and libraries. Censorship is alive and well in the south! -Haley
[Tennessee Williams? No way. Esther Williams? They're still checking.]

You always pick the lowest of your fans to 'quote' don't you. -David, Knoxville, TN
[Yup, I do.]

I couldn't agree more with your take on the world... that's the same reason everything costs so much anymore... we're idiots and shoved a plunger up our behind and now we'll sue the plunger manufacturer cause they didn't warn us of the danger inherrent in shoving said plunger where it don't belong... But when said plunger is our current government reps... well most of us just live with the discomfort... What a bunch of peabrains! -Michele
[You seem to have some sort of fixation about having something shoved up your butt.]

Fogie, what do you think of John Bolton's UN ambassadorship appointment? It appears to be in trouble already! -Charlie
[Luckily, John's lucrative offer to replace Wilfred Brimley hawking mail-order diabetic supplies is still on track.]

i love what you write, whats up with all these people complaining about you, they need to shut the heck up or just die, there are a lot of dumbasses in this world and we all have the right to say what ever we want to say about them. -Lisa
[Oh, joy, I have another emotionally unstable, chronically depressed teenage girl on my list. How can one person have so much luck?]

I see G. Dubbya's (non)environmental plan is going well... the new energy bill opens up Alaskan refuges for drilling and includes $12 billion in tax breaks and subsidies for energy companies. Geesh! -Vic, Salida, CO
[GOP fat cats celebrated the bill's passing at a $1000 a plate dinner in the Waldorf Astoria's Exxon Valdez Room.]

We keep our eyes wide open all the time. We keep our pants up with a piece of twine. Say you'll be mine, I'll pull the twine! -Bil & Miz J
[Hallmark it ain't, but I like it.]
