 Fogie's Folly

Greetings, Laff Lovers!!!

Been a while, eh?

Well, I'm not going to explain.  I'm not gonna answer your questions or respond to your emails about where I've been.

I owe you no explanation.  I owe you no reason.  My private life is my own unless and until I decide to write about it right here.

So, don't ask... don't plead... don't even look like you're thinking about maybe possibly someday entertaining the consideration of it crossing your minds.

I will simply give you this advice and leave it at that... When traveling in Mexico, avoid these three things:

  1. ANY cantina serving "authentic homemade" tequila
  2. ANY cantina which has entertainment featuring a burro, and
  3. ANY court where the prosecutor and/or judge have the same last name as the cantina owner where you found #1 & #2.

Have a very LARGE day, Folliers!

El Diabloly,

Three Texas plastic surgeons were playing golf together and discussing surgeries they had performed. One of them said, "I'm the best plastic surgeon in Texas. A concert pianist lost 7 fingers in an accident, I reattached them, and 8 months later he performed a private concert for the Queen of England."

One of the others said. "That's nothing. A young man lost both arms and legs in an accident, I reattached them, and 2 years later he won a gold medal in 5 field events in the Olympics."

The third surgeon said, "You guys are amateurs. Several years ago a cowboy who was high on cocaine and alcohol rode a horse head-on into a train traveling 80 miles an hour. All I had left to work with was the horse's ass and a cowboy hat. Now he's president of the United States."

66% of Americans can't do basic math... that's almost half.

Indian Villagers Worship Rocks After Meteor Shower

NEW DELHI - Villagers in western India have reportedly begun worshipping rock fragments following a meteor shower.

Residents in Gujarat state's Kutch region have been hunting for meteorite fragments after streaks of light were seen over three heavily populated districts late Monday, the Times of India daily said.

Witnesses said they heard a big thud Monday night while others saw streaks of red and yellow light falling from the sky, according to the paper.

Some villagers believe meteorites are the rocks that Rama, hero of the Hindu epic Ramayana, used to build a bridge to rescue his kidnapped wife.

Others say the rock fragments have special powers.

"My son picked up one such stone and developed rashes on his hands. I believe these stones have been sent by God," Hansa Bai, a villager who lives in Jamnagar district, told the Times of India.

[So, we're outsourcing meteors, now?]

President Clinton and the Pope died on the same day, and due to an administrative foul up, Clinton was sent to heaven and the Pope was sent to hell. The Pope explained the situation to the devil, he checked out all of the paperwork, and the error was acknowledged. The Pope was told, however, that it would take about 24 hours to fix the problem and correct the error.

The next day, the Pope was called in and the devil said his good-bye as he went off to heaven. On his way up, he met Clinton who was on his way down, and they stop to chat.

Pope: Sorry about the mix up.

President Clinton: No problem.

Pope: Well, I'm really excited about going to heaven.

President Clinton: Why's that?

Pope: All my life I've wanted to meet the Virgin Mary.

President Clinton: You're a day late.

A passenger flagged down a taxi, climbed in and gave the driver an address. A couple minutes after they got on their way the passenger tapped the driver on the shoulder to ask him a question. The driver screamed, lost control of the car, nearly hit a bus, went up on the sidewalk, and stopped inches from a shop window.

For a second everything went quiet in the cab, then the driver said, "For Christ's sake don't ever do that again. You scared the daylights out of me!"

The passenger apologized and said he didn't realize that a little tap could scare him so much.

The driver replied, "Sorry, it's not really your fault. You see, today is my first day as a cab driver, for the last 15 years I was driving a hearse!"

General comments...

Fogie, For some ungodly reason I haven't been getting your newsletter lately. At first I took it as a blessing but then I actually started missing you. -Penny
[I know your life has been exceptionally pathetic without me. You can relax now that I'm here to tell you what to think again.]

Fogie, I'm so disappointed. First, you've changed from a somewhat intelligent commentator of society to a griper of your readers. I got used to it and accepted it, but then you let me down on both accounts. You were neither offensive, observant, or funny in your column or your comments to your readers. Then you stopped completely! -Jennifer
[How ironic... When I got those nekkid pics of you I observed that they were quite offensive and very funny.]

Yes, Fogie, once again you've come up short and left us waiting for the issues you promised us LAST month! I miss the such perfectly articulated 'low blows' you deliver - aim one at me and you just might give me the satisfaction i deserve. And if ever our paths should meet, I'll give you a toke and buy you a drink. -lynn
[I'm ecstatic. Pardon me while I get up and dance for sheer joy.]

I just wanted to know why your news letter only comes once in a while. I find you hilarious and want more, but alas, I can be patient and wait from week to week, but I have been waiting since March now! -Lady Linda, Phoenix
[Sounds like my publishing schedule and your sex life are quite similar.]

As a publisher you suck! Go screw yourself. This publication of yours is a pathetic piece of crap wrapped around petty advertising as a feeble attempt to stroke your own ego and make a few bucks. Then you try to cover it all up by berating your readers to keep their' interest. Remove me from your list and then stick it up your butt. Please do not post my name, email or location; I don't want every idiot and pervert on your list to start stalking me. -Cindy M
[Don't worry, Cindy, nobody gives a rat's butt who you are.]

What's up with your stupid Follies? There hasn't been a new one since St. Patty's Day...? -Joey, Greenacres, FL
[I'm certain that what you meant to ask was, "Dear Mr. Fogie, Why have I not been blessed by your prophetic and intellectual commentary on the relevant issues facing our society? While I appreciate some of the other sections of your outstanding publication and consider it my primary source of information regarding the world today, it is your cerebral and sophisticated insight that propels me through my pathetic existence."]

What are you doing and why aren't there new follies?? -Ginger, Lynchburg, VA
[I'm looking at nekkid pics of your mother.]

Hi, I signed up, I was told all is a go but I did not get anything in my email box as I expected. What's wrong? Why? I am well over 18. -Cookie
[Actually, Cookie, now that we know you're over 18 we will deliver it to you personally.]

RE: "Have a very LARGE St. Patty's Day, Folliers!" Thank you for your kind wishes, but since St Patrick was a male, I enjoyed a pleasant St Paddy's Day... There never existed a St Patty, since Patty is short for Patricia. -Patrick R.
[And "know-it-all rat loser nah, nah, nah, na-na show off told you so" is short for Patrick R.]

Just wanted to say it's good to have your newsletter again. I really did miss your smartass comments and everything else. Glad you're back! -Matthew (written Jan 31 '06)
[Matthew, either you jinxed us or you're clairvoyant.]
