High Fiber Diet
Just before his visit to India, George’s doctor warned him in no uncertain terms he needed to get off all the red meat and do a high fiber diet. With no McDonald’s, KFC or Pizza Hut in sight, it looked like the high fiber part was going to be a foregone conclusion. . . . . David, Sf.G.
Gun Control
Jasper (his friends called him Jaz) had been a lifelong hunter and target shooter and had quite a collection of firearms. Like many collectors, a number of his weapons were military surplus, even though he was not in the military or even some local militia. With all the talk of stricter gun regulations, he wondered if he was going to have problems getting ammo for some of his favorites . . . . . David, Sf.G.
Mr Potato Head
Bill (pictured) had begun to wonder aloud why he never got invited to parties anymore. His sister told him that even though he was quite good at it, not everyone wanted to play that childish game “Mr Potato Head” all that often or even ever, try to learn how play poker, soccer, Monopoly, anything but Mr Potato Head . . .

Whatever Floats Your Boat
When Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal visited Amsterdam, Holland, to look for ideas for New Orleans to better cope with low elevations and maybe turn the situation into something positive, he was shown the “brick houseboat”. This unique craft was supposedly built by one of the three little pigs going the extra mile to defeat the wolf. All the Governor could say was, “Whatever floats your boat”. . . . . David, Sf.G.
Not That Inviting
When Jillie and Hank booked their trip to Eastern Europe online, there were no pictures of the Belgrade (Beograd) hotel facility. Upon arriving, they were give a key and told, “Just go down the path, you can’t miss it,” but they didn’t find it all that inviting . . . . David, Sf.G.
