Well, we're not using the y2k jelly stuff, I'm from the naval side of the base and my wife is going to use navel jelly! Got's me a locker full of the stuff, will be good for everything, excellent lubricant.

Just a spoof, guys. Burl's being silly and entertaining. In reality I'm sure he holds advanced degrees in English and literature.

It's a take off on a radio show character called "Earl Pitts - American" the brainchild of a Gary Burbank in Cincinnati at WLW radio. He does a bunch of other characters too. This guy above is simply copying the idea and modifying it slitely. Our troll here is a far cry from Burbank's quality, but he's showing effort.

That's why I read this forum. News, comedy, drama, as in, The Midnight Attack of LadyLogic. Don't understand why we have to be deprived.

Just be thankful. If I was doing the jokes you'd only be thinking, "What did he mean by that?"

Thanks Burl
