Starting point is 00:00:00 Blaze Radio Network. And now, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. So I usually start the show with a story, and then I welcome you to the show. And, you know, the show music plays, and then we get on with the show. So, and I wanted to thank Postmaster Jeffey on Twitter. I don't know if it's a him, her, they, them, it. But thank you, Postmaster Jeffie. They've taken it upon themselves.
Starting point is 00:00:30 to tweet under the hashtag Chewing the Fat headlines and then welcome people to chewing the fat. And I thought, well, you know, some of them are actually worth mentioning. And some of the stories I've already done or they're already in the queue to do. But some of them, I just let go. And so I just say, you know, I would just say thank you. I appreciate it. And, you know, here are the headlines. Here's just a couple of them to welcome you to the show.
Starting point is 00:01:07 Twins born to Brazilian teen by two separate fathers. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. Okay, that's not bad. Queen Elizabeth II skipped to private Paul McCartney concert to watch Twin Peaks. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. Okay. Pearl necklaces made from semen are TikTok's hottest jewelry trend.
Starting point is 00:01:46 Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. That's not bad. Okay, one more. One more. Speeding woman on cocaine kills drunk driver high on meth in Las Vegas. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. I think the question of the day is, What happens if you don't? So I'm reading this story about a guy in Spain who had his leg amputated. And he got a letter saying,
Starting point is 00:02:28 Hey, you need to come and take care of collecting and disposing of your limb. It's all up to you. If you don't come back and take care of it, we're going to charge you and we're going to find you for taking care of it. It's all up to you. So apparently in Spain, it's up to the patient. to take care of the removal and the disposal of the limb, which they're all wound up about it now.
Starting point is 00:02:57 And if you don't do that, then the hospital pays for it, charges you and finds you for having to take care of it. Oh, okay. So what happens if you don't? I mean, sure, the hospital has it done and finds you. so you know i don't know does the spanish hospitals have military police they come knocking for the money or do they just you know you just have a bad credit report but here in america for sure the hospital takes care of all that right because i wanted my knee when i had a knee replacement
Starting point is 00:03:32 a while ago now i wanted the knee i asked hey just give me the knee because you know they cut it out um you know and then they bone cement the fake knee in and you're good to go. And it's just that simple. And so, you know, but they wouldn't let me have it. No, we can't keep the bones. It's against the law. We take it. You can't keep it. I really wanted my knee. I wanted to have
Starting point is 00:03:59 the bones there. So in Spain, do you get to keep it? I mean, if you, so you go pick it up so you don't get fined or get charged from the hospital. Then is it just yours? What's that up on the mantle? Oh, that's my leg. I mean, not a lot of people are going to want to keep their, you know, amputated leg hanging around, but it's cheaper than, you know,
Starting point is 00:04:24 letting the hospital take care of it and then getting fined. Just send somebody to go pick it up and then toss it in the trash somewhere. And again, what happens if you don't? If you have a limb amputated, then you go and pick it up. Do you have to show, if asked, documentation that you had it taken care of. So in that case, then you would just keep it at the house, right?
Starting point is 00:04:49 You wouldn't throw it away. You wouldn't toss it in a dumpster. You'd just keep it on the fireplace mantle and have people, did you ever get rid of your leg? Well, it's right there on the fireplace mantle. Wow. So I guess it kind of makes sense that we don't let patients keep their limbs when they get them cut off here in America.
Starting point is 00:05:09 At least I don't think. They wouldn't let me keep my knee. I mean, I'm guessing that that's probably true with other body parts that get removed is that you don't get to keep them. You know, sad as it is, sorry, no, you can't keep your liver. No. No, we're going to have to cut off your toes. No, you don't get to keep them. I mean, it's not fun to think about.
Starting point is 00:05:34 But, I mean, it is kind of a thought, a good thing that we don't do what they're doing. in Spain and it sounds like they're going to make a change because it does seem a little reprehensible, I guess would be the word I'm looking for. But hey, yeah, sure, excuse me, yes, this is the hospital calling. Yeah, I've got your leg here that we cut off a couple weeks ago. You only have a couple more days before we're going to get rid of it and we're going to charge you and we're going to find you for having to take care of it. So if you want to, you know, hop on in here and pick up your leg, that'd be great.
Starting point is 00:06:13 Thank you. Speaking of hopping on in here, remember a few weeks ago, we did the story about the town in Australia where the people are under siege by a mob of kangaroos. And so the people are scared to even go out in the afternoons. And there were pictures of these lawns in neighborhoods where there's, you know, dozens of kangaroos in the lawns. on, people don't want to go out and mess with them because apparently kangaroos can be mean. And so they attack people.
Starting point is 00:06:45 Now, they don't normally kill humans, but they do attack. And some of the male humans are not fun. They're not fun. They can be aggressive. They fight people with the same techniques that they use with each other. They use their short upper limbs to grapple with their opponent. They use their tails to take their body weight. and then lash out with both of their powerful clawed hind legs.
Starting point is 00:07:13 So you don't want none of that. They're like four or five feet tall, you know, 150 pounds. Maybe some of them are, you know, 120 pounds, something like that. Still, though, 120 pounds, four and a half feet tall. You don't want none of that. Those things start hopping around, bopping on their tail, kicking you with those two hind legs. You don't want none of that. Well, apparently now there was a man who,
Starting point is 00:07:38 they claim was keeping the kangaroo as a pet, as a pet. And the kangaroo said, no, not anymore. And so he beat the crap out of the old man. Now, the 77-year-old man had serious injuries. And they, he had believed to have been attacked a day earlier because police showed up. And the kangaroo was not allowing them to come and look at the man.
Starting point is 00:08:05 And so they put him down. Yeah. Here, a little kangaroo, move out of the way so we can help the human. No? Okay. And even with that, they didn't get to the guy in time. And he died of his injuries from the attack of the kangaroo. Now, you know, kangaroos are kind of protected in Australia. So, according to this, we haven't killed a human since 1936.
Starting point is 00:08:34 Oh, okay. And that guy died a few months. months after he'd been attacked by a kangaroo. He was, you know, he had injuries and, you know, even broken jaw. He was, I guess the kangaroo was fighting with his dogs, and he wasn't having none of that. And so the kangaroo said, fine, you want to fight me, let's go. It was a mistake for William Krukashank in 1936. You don't want none of that.
Starting point is 00:09:04 You do not want none of the kangaroos, okay? You just don't. I guess you need a special permit to keep them as a pet, which they claim this guy was doing. They don't know whether he had a special permit or not, but there are all kinds of legal restrictions on keeping native pets in Australia. So just remember, be careful. Those of you listening to chewing the fat in Australia,
Starting point is 00:09:31 keep your head on a swivel. Don't go out without some sort of walking stick that you can, you know, Tell those kangaroos to back off me. Make sure you take a back off me stick with you at all times when you're out for a walk in Australia. That actually may not be a bad idea wherever you live, but particularly, as long as we're talking about this particular story, I would make sure that that is a must in Australia. But no matter where you're living these days,
Starting point is 00:10:02 it might not be a bad idea to just, you know, always have a back off me. stick when you're out walking. And that's just a helpful hint from chewing the fat. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. Oh, darn it. I missed it. It was the premiere of Wheel of
Starting point is 00:10:30 Fortune yesterday. For those of you listening live, today is the 13th of September. 2020. 2020. Why am I? 2020? Holy cow. It is September 13th, 2022. Yesterday, that makes yesterday the 12th, which was the premiere of the new Wheel of Fortune,
Starting point is 00:10:53 the 40th season. Wow, 40th season of Wheel of Fortune. And they're all premiering their new technology that they got from NASA on the Mars rover for their puzzle board, right? So where are you, you know, they have the puzzle board up and Vanna walks back and forth
Starting point is 00:11:16 and turns the letters around. And now the puzzle board has been updated. It hasn't been updated like in 20 years. Remember, she used to just have to go up and turn them manually. Oh my gosh. The Dark Ages. And then you had to,
Starting point is 00:11:32 I think she just had to touch the side of the screen. They were separate. television monitors. Now it's one big puzzle board with a single LED screen and two sensors that detect
Starting point is 00:11:49 movement. So she just has to move her hand close to the square and it lights up. I don't know if I'm working too hard. No, you can't have that. You can't have her going up there and actually having to touch the screen. Oh my gosh. I mean the 40s.
Starting point is 00:12:09 seasons, 40 seasons of Wheel of Fortune. Just amazing. So I guess congratulations is in order to Brian Stelter, who is going to be joining the Schorenstein Center on Media, Politics, and Public Policy at Harvard's Kennedy School this fall. Man, how the mighty have fallen. And I'm talking about Harvard. Not Brian Stelter. He gets the boot from CNN. And then he's going to go and do classes at Harvard, which some of them are going to be streamed. So we will get to see some of the greatness of Brian Stelter.
Starting point is 00:12:56 This fall, he's going to be at the Walter Schorinstein Media and Democracy Fellow, a convening discussion, some of which will be live streamed, grateful to at Nancy Gibbs and her team for the home. Nancy, that's a great move on your part. Plus, not only, you talk about the Mighty of Fallen for Harvard, we remember de Blasio is going to be teaching there too. Oh my gosh. We got Brian Stelter and Brian de Blasio at the Harvard Kennedy School as well. He is going to be teaching, what is he going to be doing? He's going to be teaching at both the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health.

Starting point is 00:14:38 I'd like to say congratulations to Ella M. Who, you know, bared her breast, I'm guessing accidentally. On the runway at Fashion Week. And you say yourself, Ella Mhoff. Wow, I really haven't heard of her. She a gorgeous, beautiful model. Well, she's the vice president's stepdaughter. Ella M.hoff is the vice president's stepdaughter.
Starting point is 00:15:08 Now, if you haven't seen the 23-year-old Trendsetter, she was on the runway and at the UN Plaza in a sheer green top that left one of her breasts exposed. Now, you know, it's Fashion Week, big deal. I mean, so what? Oh, my gosh. But I will say that it got her stepmom a few jobs by doing that.
Starting point is 00:15:34 And to be honest, I'm looking at Ella walking down the old, the old fashion week runway. And it really is, I don't know, not that great. But, you know, again, it's just me. Look, she signed a deal with IMG. I remember her signing the deal back in 2021. And she's, you know, her mom is, her mom, I think, is, you know, has her real mom, not the stepmom, not the vice president,
Starting point is 00:16:12 Doug's first wife, father to his children, the second man. I'm sorry, the second gentleman, Kamala's husband, his first wife, that's where this kid is from. She, I think, is in the fashion industry too. So, I mean, she's got, she's got, open the doors have been open for Ella to get some deals with some of the modeling world. I know she has a campaign at the fashion brand Mulberry where they've, you know, she's had her face painted on the mural

Yeah, hello, thank you. And she's got her own little stuff that she tries to hawk online too. so and congratulations you know what I was going to make fun
Starting point is 00:17:09 of Ella just showing her breast you know the apple doesn't fall far from the stepmom tree apparently doesn't fall far from the real mom's tree but you know what it's fashion week and you got to get ahead so I'm sure it's
Starting point is 00:17:25 staying in true form with the family when you want to get ahead how do you do it well at the very least you bury your breasts I see my girl Brittany is back at it, posting naked selfies of herself in the mirror

Starting point is 00:17:57 said that she's frustrated with the work she put out during her 13-year conservatorship, including the promotional photos taking of her, as well as their music videos, only one of which she says she liked from that period. I'll be honest, in the beginning, 13 years of the conservatorship, I like eight videos. I only like one of the conservatorship like eight videos. I only like one. Work bitch, the most offensive so-called professional pictures on every tour. I mean, they could have at least
Starting point is 00:18:30 cheated and retouched them for me, just saying, two-day shoots for new show in Vegas, literally the worst ever, and me excited for the pictures for five months on tour. They never showed me any. I'd rather quit in my pool and shoot photos of myself in studios over working with the most offensive people in my life. I'm not happy. I wasn't happy with the dancers or the team that hired to be on stage with her. I'm pretty traumatized for life.
Starting point is 00:18:56 And yes, I'm pissed as... And no, I won't probably perform again. I just because I'm stubborn and I'll make my point. no, I won't probably perform again. Britney Spears. No, I won't probably perform again, Britney Spears. Can we quote you on that, Brit?

I mean, if these artists like Elton are going to bail her out and make a couple of montage hits with her. and so she can have some extra money to go, you know, go to Hawaii. Good for her. She doesn't need to do anything new. She just puts some stuff together with Elton and he'll make it a hit. I'm sorry, Brittany will make it a hit too.

So those of you that didn't catch Monday Night Football last night, as Russell Wilson made his return to Seattle with the Denver Broncos as they were taking on the Seattle Seahawks for Monday night. It was really strange that they would do that on the first game of the season. I will say I did catch a little bit of Troy. Aitman and Joe Buck calling the Monday Night Game and I went over to Peyton and Eli on ESPN 2.
Starting point is 00:21:28 And I, you know, I'll review that later. But I will say that Peyton did say that he was surprised that they did this on the first week as well. And I agree 100%. I couldn't believe that they would shove this down, down the player's throats and the fans' throats and the team's throat. It was the first game after he left Seattle under a cloud of FUs. It just seems like the NFL was looking for a little extra push. Maybe they got it. Good for them.
Starting point is 00:22:01 But the Emmys, the Emmys were taking place as well. So congratulations to all the winners of the Emmys. The best drama series winner, Succession on HBO. Congratulations. well worth it. I mean, it's a great show. It was up against some great shows as well, but Succession was awesome, no doubt

Starting point is 00:22:42 from Squid Game, and he was awesome. No doubt about it. Squid Game was really, really good. If you haven't seen it, on Netflix, you should watch it, no doubt about it. But he's up against a couple of Succession actors, and Jason Bateman for Ozark, and Bob Odenkirk for Better Call Saul. That was his last season.

Yeah, he was great. uh no no doubt i mean there was a couple of uh succession actors up for best supporting actor in a drama series best comedy series goes to ted lasso on apple now i'll tell you what this is a tough one
Starting point is 00:23:34 because uh hacks on hbomax was really good only murders in the building on hulu were really good they kind of got the the boot nobody gave them anything i mean i i thought only murders would do better, but, you know, again, what do I know? But they gave the best comedy series to Ted Lassau. Best actress in a comedy series went to Gene Smart for hacks. Well-deserved. Hacks on
Starting point is 00:23:59 HBO. Really good, really funny, well-written. A best actor in a comedy series. Oh, this is, well, they'll make it up to Steve Martin, and or Martin short. Nope. Let's give it to Ted Lassow again. Oh, okay. So, I mean,
Starting point is 00:24:14 actually, my view, would have been well-suited to give Steve Martin and Martin short both the award for Best Actor in a Comedy Series. Just call it a tie. They were both really good in only murders in the building. Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series, Cheryl Lee Ralph in Abbott Elementary. That's on the regular network. I mean, I don't know about that one.
Starting point is 00:24:43 But, you know, everybody's running and right about it, Abbott Elementary. how great it is. Then we have a Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series. Let's give it to Ted Lassau again. Yay. And White Lotus, one Best Limited or Anthology series. Best Actress in a Limited Series,

Starting point is 00:25:16 the supporting actor? Yeah, Brett Goldstein and Ted Lasson. Nope, I got them all. So congratulations to all the winners and all the shows. And gosh darn it, it was just, it was just worth it to be nominated,
Starting point is 00:25:27 wasn't it? Yes, it was. And I saw some people. Okay, so there were a couple things that happened. One award, Jimmy Kimmel, was, I guess he was the presenter.
Starting point is 00:25:45 And then, he just laid down on stage and they were pissed that Jimmy Kimmel laid down on stage. That's white privilege. That's white privilege. And it's excessively just laid down on stage and tried to take away from her win. When she was asked about it after the, after the award. And it was Quinta Brunson from Abbott Elementary. And she, you know, the people were, that's a white privilege.
Starting point is 00:26:12 And then Quinto was like, uh, that was just Jimmy Kimmel. I was accepting the award. He was trying to be funny. He's a comedian. And I'm going to be on his show in the middle of the week. Maybe I'll feel different land. But right now, let's talk about me. So she handled it great.
Starting point is 00:26:28 And of course it was just a joke, white privilege bull crap. And then they got, the people were pissed that the Emmys did their memoriam segment. The Emmys, who died? This year. And they're pissed people. are saying that they snubbed the queen.
Starting point is 00:26:50 The queen wasn't part of the Emmys. Come on now. Are you kidding me? You're going to be pissed that they snubbed the queen at the Emmys in the in-memorium section? No. Sorry. Oh, the queen was portrayed in the crown, and that scored 63 nominations of 21.
Starting point is 00:27:15 21 wins, so she should have been recognized. Okay. All right. No problem. I don't know if the Emmys has responded. I'm sure they've apologized and talked about what a sad time it is in the world that the queen, the cherished mother of the United Kingdom, has passed away. And we apologize and we'll try to never let it happen again.
Starting point is 00:27:43 That would not surprise me one. bit. And I guess congratulations are in order to Fox. They claimed that the Alabama, Texas game, was the most streamed regular season football game in the media company's history, including college football and NFL. So congratulations. I mean, it was a, I mean, it was a,
Starting point is 00:28:15 huge game and I don't I mean I don't know if you're a college football fan you were watching that game coming to you out of Austin Texas the University of Texas Stadium but they claim and I'd like to I'm not sure how they're how they're locking this down because well Alabama obviously is not number one now after that game they went back to Georgia but they claim let's see the week two game between the Crimson Tide and the Longhorns was the most streamed regular season football game in the media company's
Starting point is 00:28:51 history, including college football and the NFL. All right, well, congratulations because I'm not sure what all that means. Most streamed, it doesn't necessarily mean that more was the most
Starting point is 00:29:06 watched game. Right? It means they all try to be, get number one and you know what congratulations to Fox congratulations congratulations when I got a great deal on a great gift at winners I started wondering could I get fabulous gifts for everyone on my list like this designer fragrance for my daughter

Stop wondering. Start gifting. Winners find fabulous for less. All right, well, who died today? Who died today?
Starting point is 00:30:07 We do have some people other than the people that they snubbed like the queen at the Emmys. Photographer William Klein, famous for street scenes, but also fashion, has died at the age of 96. in his adopted city of Paris. William Klein was told by one of his mentors, hey, get out of galleries, look at the buildings, go out onto the streets, and that's exactly what he did, became one of the most influential photographers of his generation.
Starting point is 00:30:39 And he's got pictures from cities of New York, Paris, Tokyo, and Moscow. I'm sure that you've seen his work, no question about it. So William Klein, dead at the age of 96. rapper PNB PNB dead I know he was only 30 he was shot in front of his girlfriend
Starting point is 00:31:03 Stephanie as they ate lunch on Monday at Rosco's chicken and waffles P&B dead at the age of 30 I don't know I just you know I don't know what to tell you
Starting point is 00:31:20 Los Angeles police do Department did not name the rapper, but said in a news briefing shared by Fox LA on Monday that the victim was sitting at a table, eating with a female witness when he was approached by a suspect, pulled out a gun, demanded his property, then shot him several times. Wow. Sad. Sad, sad, that is happening for all over the country, not just for rapper P&B. And speaking to rappers, I see where a Las Vegas podcast has offered $100,000 to find who killed Tupac. I know, my man Tupac.
Starting point is 00:32:03 He was today, today, the 13th of September 2020, marks 26 years since the death of Tupac. And he was hit by four bullets and a drive-by shooting at an intersection, a block, off the Vegas strip while leaving a Mike Tyson fight at the MGM Grand. He died in the hospital. He was 25 years of age. So the Problem Solver Show and the Action Junkies podcast are now offering $100,000 for the arrest and conviction of Tupac's killers. All right.
Starting point is 00:32:45 Well, good luck. Good luck. I hope they...

And good luck to the people in Minnesota who may be on the Who Died Today List might not have had this not happened. 15,000 Minnesota nurses are in a three-day strike. The weekend talks failed to produce contract agreements. So union leaders say, This is the largest private sector nurses strike in U.S. history.
Starting point is 00:34:54 It covers workers at 15 hospitals, including eight of the 10 largest in the Twin Cities area. Wow. The prolonged contract dispute between Minnesota Nurses Association and hospital systems planned, you know, prompted the strike. Nurses are pushing for roughly 30% wage increase over three years, citing pandemic burnout. and staffing shortages. Hospitals, which offered closer to 11% say they can't afford what the union asks for. Wow.
Starting point is 00:35:31 I mean, holy cow, this is not good. We need our nurses desperately. And I get it. So what happens now? Do the hospitals just close if they don't have the nurses? Because the doctors, you know, the doctors are great, but they are great because of the nurses. I know.
Starting point is 00:35:50 you know I have nurses in my life, right? No doubt about that. The doctors are great, but they certainly are only great because of the nurses. I know. You're welcome, nurses. I'm on your side. But I love the idea that, you know, they want the, you know, pandemic burnout, staffing shortages. I mean, that's true almost at every business around the country now, maybe even around the world.
Starting point is 00:36:19 I mean, I was just talking to someone just a day earlier this morning about the very same thing. And so I don't know how you get around it anymore. I really don't. And I just, you know, good luck to the nurses in Minnesota. Good luck to the people that need nurses in Minnesota but won't have them. Nurses, many of them do it as a calling, not just to make money. And so it's difficult for them to walk away in a, time like this, but sometimes you have to stand up for what you're worth. So, I mean, good luck.
Starting point is 00:36:55 I hope it works out for you. I hope you do. I hope you get what you, I hope you get what you need. It's not as if. Now, see, the thing is, it's not as if the hospitals aren't making any money. I know I see some really nice new hospitals here in the DFW area that are all nice, new and beautiful. So somebody has some money somewhere. But that's not Minnesota. So, good luck good luck to the nurses in Minnesota and good luck to our Kelly his his trial in Chicago goes to the jury there it should be deliberating as we speak I don't know how long it will take them to deliberate the charges of child pornography and of rigging his 2008 state trial pornography trial okay so we'll see
Starting point is 00:37:49 He was called, I mean, he's been called the sexual predator, and he's abused many girls over the years, and they've tried to get it out of Chicago. They said that he complained, his attorneys complained, that it should be a mistrial because the closing arguments by the attorneys were grounded in the presumption that the world now knows Mr. Kelly as a sexual predator. that should be, you know, he's supposed to be presumed innocent. So the presumption of innocence has completely been abolished. I mean, that's what you're supposed to do. So we'll see what happens in that R. Kelly trial. My guess is they will find him guilty again. And good luck to Alex Jones, who has begun to start his trial again, the second trial.
Starting point is 00:38:43 Wow. this case in Connecticut the jury will hear evidence and return a verdict solely on the question what compensation Jones owes the family of the nine victims for years of harassment and threats
Starting point is 00:38:58 they say they suffered from his broadcast assertions that the school massacre was a hoax intended to increase support for gun control so we'll see I mean the jury awarded nearly 50 million earlier
Starting point is 00:39:14 what are they going to award here? It's going to be a lot. It's going to be a lot. So we'll see maybe Alex. I don't know how much Alex buried out back. Well, let's hope it's enough to keep him alive. I don't want him to die without any money. I'm sure it looks like he's doing okay now.
Starting point is 00:39:32 He's not missing any meals. So I don't know how much money he's buried out back and how much he's going to have to pay the Sandy Hook survivors. But you know he's going to have to. and it's pretty sad, actually. The whole thing is just really sad. It's just sad. I'm just going to leave it at that.
Starting point is 00:39:52 It's just sad. Because if I say more, who knows, I may be getting sued. And I don't want that to happen. I do not want... No, I don't think it was fake, okay? Shut up. That's not what I'm talking about.
Starting point is 00:40:11 That's not what I'm talking about. at all. So, you know what, that's it. I'm just going to leave you with a joke of the day, okay? I guess it's almost Halloween. I keep seeing it's almost Halloween, but I mean, it's a month and a half away. So it's not almost Halloween,
Starting point is 00:40:28 but okay, if you say so. I mean, I didn't see a funny picture of Windsor Castle with one of those big banners on it, the spirit of Halloween banners. You know how they come in and they take over a store that's been closed? and there's a picture of Windsor Castle with the spirit of Halloween banner hanging off of the top
Starting point is 00:40:49 with the caption, and they move fast. After the queen died, come on now, that's funny. That's funny business. In this same caption, the same person that's sending me these jokes, says Queen Elizabeth II, I have information that will result
Starting point is 00:41:09 in the arrest of Hillary Clinton. The queen dies. so is she just another one on the Clinton list? I don't know. I don't know that. I mean, I'm guessing not, but, you know, I guess that's what that person was trying to,
Starting point is 00:41:25 trying to say. So I'll leave you with, you know, the joke of the day. All right, just for you. Joke of the day. It's almost Halloween. This was sent to me at Chewing the Fat at theblaze.com. You can send me anything you want.
