From the Tailing Box...
Dear At a Bottom Now for Gold:
Do you see any potential brewing in the coffee market? --Filtering New Investments
Dear Fil:
Coffee can be the grounds for an investment with hot returns provided all 535 empty coffered members of Congress don't simultaneously spill some on their laps. --Whirlwind
Dear Pinky's Tailing Box:
My dog refuses to eat my Zappa certificates. I didn't know that animals could laugh. Even Larry Johnson and Alonzo Mourning don't want them. Please advise. Sincerely, --giveawaydaranch@gerry.com
Dear giveawaydaranch@gerry.com:
Several points. A. If you hadn't given away your Ranch dressing, your dog may have eaten the Zappa certificates in a spring salad. B. Actually, my dog laughs every morning when I show him a picture of Ed Koch. C. You weren't aware that Alonzo's last name wasn't changed to "Mourning" until after he stuck half his first NBA contract into Zappa?
PS. For tips on salad making, tune in to your local cable kitchen channel to the Galloping GerryMae. -- Alonzo Whirlwind
