eve, the tears are streaming down my face from laughing so hard (and I had to "shoo away" a crowd of co-workers who wanted to know what was so funny; now I have to email it to them).

Thanks......I really needed that :-)

-- Patricia (PatriciaS@lasvegas.com), November 21, 2000.


Kewl, Patricia. Always happy to help a friend in need. 'Specially if it brings tears -- only the GOOD kind, of course. :)

'Sumer, thanks for adding the last sentence. Guess my website source cut it off. Unless you wrote it. In that case, good finish! Ya know, I thought somethin' was missing.

Well, I'd better get back to my Thanksgiving plans.

You know, I think the guy answering the Butterball Turkey hotline has some problems. Like, he started out by asking me what I was wearing. Then he wanted me to look inside the turkey for a contact lens he lost at the processing plant. Then later, when I asked "How often should I baste it?" he said, "Uh...are we still talking about the turkey?"

Well, forget that. I think I'm just gonna wing it this time. Hey, wait a minute! I said, "wing it"!! Get it? Wing -- bird -- turkey?? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH....hahahahohoho...aha, ha..heh, heh...ha. (nothing but stunned silence from the bunch) Ahem.

Or...maybe I'll just skip the bird, take a long, strategic "drive" back home tonight, and we'll all just play that ol' family game, "Guess What Animal the 'Turkey' Was Before Mom Ran It Over With the Car"

(Eve takes the bong 'n' Ripple from 'sumer, does her "duty," then passes 'em to Pat)

(One of these days I'm going to switch to "waterproof" mascara; I just can't stop laughing now.)

You know, I can understand why there would be (might be?) a need for a Butterball Turkey Hotline.

But can anyone please explain to me why there would be (might be?) a need for a Cool Whip Hotline? (It exists.) And what exactly might the questions be?

(On second thought, I really don't want to go there.)

Are these the same people who need the directions on a bottle of shampoo?
