I'll be here all night! --- "' 'ello, WalMart Central Distribution." "Hey! Bob! You gotta send me more stuff from headquarters --a crazed mob just made a run on my store!" "Yo, Mike, slow down, slow down, tell me what happened." "Yeah, yeah, " "dude, sorry, I'm just so excited, I mean the cash registers are bulging and my shelves --well, some of them-- are empty and we made a KILLING! I tell you, I ain't seen nothing like it since that them crazy talk-show host told everyone Drano had amazing weight-loss properties..." "Mike, get a grip--" "Okay, Okay, we had a whole crowd of folk coming in here --said they were all rassf-jarians-- R - A - S - F - W - R -J ians --you ever heard of a country calle rassf-jae, Mike?" "Ain't no country I ever heard of." "Yeah, well, they were all excited and agitated --said they had this stand-up-comic guy to deal with-- something about the penalty for really, really, really bad humor-- and they bought buckets and buckets of tar...they cleaned us out of down bedding and pillows...they bought all the two-by-fours and baseball bats and tire irons and chain and rope in stock, snapped up all the home enema and laxative products, bought a whole gross of tires and gasoline cans --you ever heard of something called 'necklacing', Bob?"

"No, I haven't --this is sounding kinda weird--" "Yeah, they asked me if we had any rotten fruit and vegetables. I told them we always throw away all the stuff that looks even the slightest bit suspicious --and so they all whip off straight away to the dumpsters and cleaned them out, too--" "Mike, these folks, how about the guns? Did they buy guns?" "Hell, Bob, that's the best part! They bought all the guns and knives and weapons --and liquor, man, they snapped up all the liquor-- in stock! You gotta send me more, man --I'm moving this stuff as fast as I can shelve it!" "And this doesn't worry you in the slightest?" "Well, I sure feel sorry for whoever this 'Mad Whitaker' guy is...he sounds like he's in for a world of hurt...guess it's a tough crowd..." ---- -Jeff
