Another email I just had to share… This one came from my mother in law, who is quite inflexible in her beliefs. Still, it’s pretty funny.

In Honor of the 44th President of the United States, Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream has issued a new flavor, “Barocky Road.”
Barocky Road is a blend of half Vanilla, half Chocolate, and surrounded by Nuts and Flakes.
The Vanilla portion of the mix is not openly advertised and usually denied as an ingredient.
The Nuts and Flakes are all very bitter and hard to swallow.
The Cost is $100.00 per scoop.
When purchased, it will be presented to you in a large beautiful cone, but then the Ice Cream is taken away and given to the person in
line behind you.
Thus you are left with an empty wallet, no change, holding an empty cone, with no hope of getting any Ice Cream.
Aren’t you feeling stimulated?

You know, like all good satire, this one has a ring of truth to it too. I’m not interested in giving my ice cream to the guy behind me, especially when he doesn’t deserve it.
I was in line at the grocery store the other day watching someone in front of my buying all sorts of crappy junk food along with a wrapped package from the seafood department that cost $66.
I’m not sure what it was, but it wasn’t very big, so only a meal’s worth. Probably lobster or shrimp, or some of their $13 a pound halibut that I’d just been drooling over, but didn’t buy.
When he pulled out the state food stamp card I wanted to punch him right in the head.
