If I talk too much about politics, I am bound to tick someone off so let’s see what we can all agree upon. How about, that we in this country, from time to time in our history have elected some slightly silly people to office. Can we all agree on that? Good. One of my favorites was a Senator from South Carolina named Strom Thurmond. He served in the United States Senate until he was 100. One hundred years old! I saw him walk onto the floor of Congress with pants hiked up above his chest. Ladies and gentlemen, I say term limitations should kick in when you get underarm stains on your trousers. That’s my litmus test.
How worried about the future are you when you reach 100? But, we elect some silly people, they pass silly laws and we live with them. We have a law now in this country requiring them to put expiration dates on toothpaste. I looked at my toothpaste, and it said expires March 2012. Now I’m no dentist, but if it takes you four years to use up a tube of toothpaste, I’m betting your teeth go bad before that paste.
We have a law prohibiting you from owning a pair of marshal arts Num Chucks. Two sticks. Our lawmakers have outlawed two sticks, but any psychopath can buy an Uzi.
Now the reason for this of course is that the National Rifle Association is a very powerful lobby, and the National Num Chuck Association has no clout at all!
But here we are in November, already and heading for the holidays. Why not have your holiday parties with us? We can accommodate up to 95 people with a terrific and affordable dinner along with a first class comedy show, about what you pay for dinner alone most places. Let’s have some fun together at J.R.’s! We’ll leave the light on.
