George Wallace was hysterical on the MDA telethon. Here is one of his jokes (from my perspective: not verbatim):

He went to an IKEA store and saw a desk he liked. He said to the store clerk: "I wish to buy that desk". The clerk went off and came back with a box. "What is that?" George asks. Clerk responds "your desk". "Looks awfully small" George replies. The clerk states: "you have to put it together". "Put it together?! I want to buy that desk over there", George responds. The clerk states: "You can't buy that desk. That is for display only. You have to buy the desk in this box and put it together." George replies "That is stupid."

So, George takes the box from the clerk and goes to the cashier. Cashier gives him the total and George writes out a check and proceeds to rip up the check in many pieces. He then hands the ripped pieces to the cashier. The cashier asks "What is THIS"?!" George replies" You have to PUT IT TOGETHER!"

Thank you, George, for the laughs during a much worthy cause telethon!

Cute...we had a friend who kept getting statements that said "this is not a bill"....he wrote them back with a note beginning "this is not a check."

Cute. Nice start for the week. Imagine providing similar service/payment to companies that don't or can't provide what we're looking for.

We seldom go out to eat on Sundays. We went to Longhorn on Sunday, one of our favorites for lunch. We were given a dinner menu. I asked for the lunch menu, after all, it was 11:50 in the morning. I was told they only serve dinner on Sunday. I was NOT happy.

When the server came and asked how we were, I explained I would be a lot better with the lunch menu. Oh, she said, they have my dish on the dinner menu, but it is $5.00 more.

To their credit, they new my displeasure and gave me a discount. I didn't even have to cook the food!

Good joke.

Reminds me of Canberra, Australia in the 1970s with the introduction of a Toilet Tax (Lavy Levy). Advice was to forward payment "through the appropriate channels".
