 [Happy 420 Day] What is the significance of 420 Day? The origins of 420 Day are hazy. The number has been linked to rumored police radio codes that supposedly indicate whether there is marijuana on a suspect, and it’s also a reference to a popular afterschool meeting time to smoke, popularized by a group of California teens in the 1970s

| Tuesday’s mess of a post about The Edmond Fitzgerald has me thoroughly confused as to what was going on in the poster’s mind. The ship was an iron ore carrier and named after the president of the insurance company that owned her. Not a lumber company. The link is to a story about completely unrelated ships that sank decades earlier. The ship sank with all hands on the poster’s birthday on November 10, 1975 and he doesn’t know even the basic facts about her? |

| [Gay Stock Picks] To the person that relayed false information about Budweiser stock: NASCAR did not drop their contract. The stock was at a 21 month high when it dropped 2%. It has already rebounded to less than 1% lower. The false info about NASCAR was from a parody account, which The New York Post chose to go with. Perhaps the poster might want to go to a better source for their financial information. All that was said by the poster tells me one thing. We live in a great country when beer advertisements are the worst thing that people have to worry about. |

| [Friday Joke] Lena is hired at The Tickle Me Elmo factory. The next day at 8:45 am there is a knock at the Personnel Manager’s door. The Foreman throws open the door and begins to rant about the new employee. He complains that she is incredibly slow and the whole line is backing up, putting the entire production line behind schedule. The Personnel Manager decides he should see this for himself, so the 2 men march down to the factory floor. When they get there the line is so backed up that there are Tickle Me Elmo’s all over the factory floor and they’re really beginning to pile up. At the end of the line stands Lena surrounded by mountains of Tickle Me Elmo’s. She has a roll of plush Red fabric and a huge bag of small marbles. The 2 men watch in amazement as she cuts a little piece of fabric, wraps it around two marbles and begins to carefully sew the little package between Elmo’s legs. The Personnel Manager bursts into laughter. After several moments of hysterics he pulls himself together and approaches Lena, ‘I’m sorry,’ he says to her, barely able to keep a straight face, ‘but I think you misunderstood the instructions I gave you yesterday. Your job is to give Elmo two test tickles.’ |

| [Friday Joke] A young boy enters a barber shop and the barber whispers to his customer, “This is the dumbest kid in the world. Watch while I prove it to you.” The barber puts a dollar bill in one hand and two quarters in the other, then calls the boy over and asks, “Which do you want, son?” The boy takes the quarters and leaves. “What did I tell you?” said the barber. “That kid never learns!” Later, when the customer leaves, he sees the same young boy coming out of the ice cream parlor. “Hey, son! May I ask you a question? Why did you take the quarters instead of the dollar bill?” The boy licked his cone and replied: “Because the day I take the dollar the game is over!” |
