A true chair story, and not responsible for participant’s hair color..
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
A Blonde, a Brunette, and A Red Head are sentenced to death.
They are lined up in the yard to be killed. The main guard went up to the Brunette. “You have a choice on how you would like to die: by electric chair, firing squad, or hanging. Which will it be?”
The Brunette replied, “I’ll take the electric chair.”
She was led away by two other guards to the electric chair. She was strapped in and the executioner flipped the switch. The Brunette flinched before noticing that nothing happened. Not even a spark.
“Nothing’s happening,” cried the Brunette.
“What? That’s impossible! How?!” yelled the executioner.
“I don’t know, but maybe it’s a sign?” The Brunette replied.
“A sign from above! This must be divine intervention! Release her!”
The guards followed the executioner’s orders and unstrapped the Brunette, leading her back out. She passed the Red Head as she walked back. She leans towards the Red Head.
“The chair’s not working.” she whispered. The Red Head nodded and she watched as the Brunette was led away. The main guard approaches the Red Head. “I present to you the same choice. Which will it be?”
The Red Head replied, “I’ll do the electric chair.”
She was led away by the two other guards to the electric chair. Like the Brunette before her, she was strapped in and the executioner flipped the switch. The Red Head flinched but again, nothing happened, not even a spark.
“It didn’t do anything,” cried the Red Head.
“Again? Impossible!” yelled the executioner.
“Who knows, it could be a sign?” The Red Head replied.
Never heard of Pez so had to Google it: Why were PEZ banned?There are five main ingredients that are of concern: Red dye No. 3 (erythrosine), titanium dioxide, potassium bromate, brominated vegetable oil, and propylparaben, all of which have been linked to an increased risk of cancer and DNA and organ damage.Mar 23, 2023
People often think of New Jersey being heavily organized, and the northeastern part is. But the southern portion of the state has quite a few black bears.
Once saw a small plane on top of an abandoned house along the Passaic River in NJ in the late 80’s while kayaking. I think that would top a chair. It was pre-internet so it didn’t go “viral”.
Pez dispensers played a part in the mythology of eBay. The frequently repeated story that eBay was founded to help the Founder’s fiancée trade Pez candy dispensers was fabricated in 1997 by public relations manager Mary Lou Song to give the media a human-interest story and to generate publicity with toy collectors. The most purchased and sold items on the website were Beanie Babies, the most difficult toys to find in retail stores, accounting for 10% of all listings in 1997. Ty, the manufacturer, had set up a website whereby people could trade used Beanie Babies. However, it was overwhelmed with unsortable listings. With a user-friendly interface, eBay became popular with collectors.
There is a PEZ museum in Burlingame, CA that played a role in the founding of eBay. Most interesting place.
Pig once showed Goat or somebody his Pez collection, and assigned each piece an undefined quality he called “Pezness.” This was best exemplified by the one modeled on comedian Margaret Cho – or as Pig put it, “There’s no Pezness like Cho Pezness.” (I forget what Rat said and did to Pastis in the final panel.)

I hope Brian gets a lot of his Pez dispensers from garage sales or as gifts. New, they’re around $10.00.
