If the CEO of your company is named "Mitch" I suggest you immediately begin converting your 401k plan to something stable, like boxes of Rice-a-Roni.

For communion my church recently switched from using real bread to those little preformed yet amazingly pasty squares. Apparently my suggestion that we switch to Cocoa Puffs was rejected by the worship committee.

Like many throughout the ages, my brother just got the call to ministry. We're all real proud of him and know that once he bulks up his ninety-seven pound frame that he's going to be the best dad-blurned Phone-Book Tearin', Midget Tossin', Healthshake Drinkin', Bible BenchPressin' member The Power Team ever had.

We have a pretty laxed dress code here at the office, but for some reason, I "feel" more productive in the workplace when I dress for the occasion. Today, for example, I'm wearing a rubber thong, slippers in the shape of Elder Fudd and glow-in-the-dark ear rings.

It's perfectly acceptable men's bathroom etiquette for one to "tap" himself upon completion of urination. It is NOT appropriate, however, to "tap" the gentlemen standing next to you.

HERE IT IS... THE LONG AWAITED FIFTH YEAR ANNIVERSARY JOURNAL ENTRY WRITTEN BY ALL THREE OF US. THREE GUYS, FIVE YEARS IN THE MAKING, YEAH, YOU KNOW THIS IS GOING TO BE A MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT.
Well, I've finally figured out why I have so much trouble staying focused in the office. First I thought the pet lemur that lives in my desk had been trying to mate with my boss's peacock. But then I realized that the guy in the cubicle next to me has been auditioning minor league team mascots to host his upcoming wedding.

It must be lonely on the road, traveling from restaurant opening to restaurant opening, knowing that you must keep a certain image for the kids... and yet, there's those tempting burger groupies. Who's to say that Ronald McDonald didn't give in to temptation now and then and that his love children aren't littered across these deep-fried plains?

It's generally accepted knowledge that marionettes have a lousy work ethic, preferring to lounge around in their luxuriously padded traveling cases instead of getting their hands dirty fixing trucks or shoveling manure.

After much cajoling from a certain militant group, my church recently decided to expand our worship staff. Now, in addition to the person who signs the words for the choruses and sermon we now have a telepathic who forces the words into your subconscious.

Yesterday while sojourning down the stairs at work I was followed by an older woman whose shoes made an explosively loud cap-like noise with each step. While I personally found this interesting I'm sure you, our solitary reader, is not amused. In an effort to retain our vast audience, please read the following "sooper-spicey" modification:

I once saw a circus clown eat an entire cub scout troop and he didn't even say "Thank You" or wipe his mouth with a moist towellete afterwards. Clowns are so rude.

Today is Father's Day, a day in which adult children across the fruited plains desperately search to find something to buy for their dad to say "Thanks fer feeding me all those years and not hiding your stash of Playboys so well that I couldn't find them and for buying me that lap dance in Reno when I turned 18 and telling the police that you hadn't seen me in weeks when they came around with that arrest warrent." Dads... ya gotta love 'em!

In an effort to cut expenses my employer just combined two departments to create the Variable Universal Life Verification Annuity. I'm sure this product will do as well as our other flagship product, the Life Annualized Balanced Income Annuity.

All my Word documents have been translated into Vietnamese. Not by choice, I should state. No, Windows Media Player maliciously made the change because it was upset that I made WinAmp my preferred MP3 player. Microsoft products can be so petty.

A few notes from the TDJ Fashion Department:
The new thin is fat.
The new gay is straight, and
The new nice is rude.

Stay tuned for further trend updates you gravy sucking pigs!

Not to be outdone by states on our country's border, here in Indiana we've been taking great steps to increase the amount of illegal aliens living and working in our state. Dave Letterman would be proud.

As in all things in life, I think that after five years I've earned the right to slack off a bit and round out a lackluster month with butterball entries. You can write and complain but it will only result in hired goons visiting your homestead in the dark of night, tipping your moocow, defrocking your rooster, annoying your goat, and despoiling your horse by telling him dirty jokes.

We've managed to waste all the money generated from this site on steak knives.

Nothing hits the spot on a hot summer day like a big chilled 12oz can of chicken gravy!

Original lyrics to a famous made-for-TV song...
Here we come.
Walkin' down the street.
We get the funniest looks.
Because we're not wearing pants.
Hey, hey we're the Monkees!
