    Pete Seeger once asked “Where have all the flowers gone?” Well, after the Summer Of Love (the one in the 60s, not the recent one in Seattle) many flowers migrated north. A story about them follows:

    After the San Francisco hippies retired to Marin County and elsewhere, they started their families. The schools noticed that children starting to attend often had names such as “Beautiful Child,” “Moon Love,” “Morningsong,” and so on. So when a young boy showed up one morning with “Fruit Stand” pinned on his shirt, the teacher wasn’t surprised. Instead, she made an effort to make the young man feel welcome. “Would you like to draw with crayons, Fruit Stand?” he was asked. “How about a Graham cracker and milk, Fruit Stand?” and even, “It’s recess now, Fruit Stand. Wouldn’t you like to play with the other children?”

    The little boy didn’t talk much, though. He got through his first day of school without any conversation or interaction with either student or teacher. At the close of the day, the teacher and her assistant shrugged inwardly, realizing that it sometimes takes awhile to reach a difficult student; they resolved to try harder the next day.

    So they prepared to put Fruit Stand on the bus home, and looked on the back of his name tag to see where he was to get off the bus. When they turned the tag over, they saw just one word: Matthew.

    Two cannibals were dining on a hippie. The wife said, “Honey, you aren’t even touching the vegetables I made with this. Give peas a chance.” He sighed. “Maybe if you put them in a blender I would. Imagine, whirled peas!”

    I would feel sorry for the fire ants on the bottom of the raft, but they’re fire ants.

    “Measured” and “approximately.” Nice juxtaposition.

    Yeah, why do I feel like my life has been as a bottom-level, underwater fire ant?

    Surfing. Body surfing?

    Two guys are talking at a fancy rooftop bar. Clearly drunk out his mind, one guy says to the other, “Ya know…the air currents are sho shtrong up here (hic) you can float on ’em like water.”

    Also wasted, the other guy says, “Ah, you’re crazy. You can’t do that! (Burp)”

    The first guy says “S’true! Juss watch!”

    So he stumbles over to the balcony rail, climbs up and steps off. Sure enough, he floats there off the edge of the building, dipping and rising like he is body surfing. After a few seconds, he grabs the rail and pulls himself back in.

    The second guy says, “I gotta try that!”

    So he climbs over the railing, steps off the side…and immediately plummets 30 stories to his death.

    The bartender looks at the first guy and says, “Go*d*mn it, you are a mean drunk, Superman.”

    Until next time.

    Approximately 101 ft tall? That’s somewhat exact, approximately 100 ft tall would read better.

    The number of offers the poop buying company receives will likely increase because of today’s R-BION. I wonder if they will reach their capacity for researching contributions from qualified people and have to decline such offers.

    “Daddy, where does poo come from?”

    The father, thought for a moment and said, “you’re old enough to learn about this.” So they sit down and talk. About five minutes later, the son, visibly traumatized asks,

    “What about Eeyore and Piglet?”

    Not many alternatives to riding it when a 101 foot wave catches you.

    Then there’s the angry dude entering the bar. He yells out "I have a gun with a 10-cartridge magazine plus one in the chamber. Now who’s sleeping with my daughter?

    A voice peeps up: You don’t have enough ammunition.
