The Cold Within (unknown)
Six humans trapped by happenstance in black and bitter cold.
Each one possessed a stick of wood (or so the story’s told).

Bob Benson once said that he gave a talk at his son’s high school commencement. He wanted to do good because it was for his son, so he went out and bought a new 3-piece suit. He spoke, and did a good job. Afterwards a student came up and said, "Mr. Benson, did you know that your vest is buttoned

NUK NUK NUK
As you know our 12-year-old son Chase is autistic. I have introduced both our boys to a very intellectual series of programs called The Three Stooges. The problem with Chase being autistic is he can do a "Nuk Nuk" almost anywhere at anytime. So the slapstick has started at our house. I
