Not just because it has the word Pot in it (even if you don’t pronounce the t when you say it) but potpourri is one of my favorite words. A mixture or medley of things, you know a little like the Buzzyblog itself here.
Following then is a potpourri of things that I have run into in my travels or things that people have sent me. For example, my thanks to you Joan for sending me this stimulus-related item:
A: It is money that the federal government will send to taxpayers.Q: Where will the government get this money?A: From taxpayers.Q: So the government is giving me back my own money?A: Only a smidgen of it.Q: What is the purpose of this payment?A: The plan is for you to use the money to purchase a high definition television set, a new iPad, or a new SUV, thus stimulating the economy.Q: Isn’t that stimulating the economy of China ?A: Shut up.Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the U. S. Economy with and your stimulus check wisely:* If you spend the stimulus money at Walmart the money will go to China or Sri Lanka.* if you spend it on gasoline, your money goes to the Arabs.* if you purchase a computer, it goes to India, Taiwan or China.* if you purchase fruits and vegetables, it will go to Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala.* if you buy an efficient car, it will go to Japan or Korea.* if you purchase useless stuff, it goes to Taiwan.* if you pay your credit card off, or buy stock, it will go to the management bonuses and they will hide it offshore.Instead keep the money in America by:(1) Spending it at a yard sale, or(2) Go to a ballgame, or(3) Spend it on prostitutes, or(4) Beer, or(5) Tattoos(These are the only American businesses still operating in the U.S.)CONCLUSION: Go to a ballgame with a tattooed prostitute that you met at a yard sale and drink beer all day. No need to thank me, I am just glad I could be of help
Not sure where I got this. Guess my memory is getting as bad as the three bros here:
And speaking of brothers, here is a funny cartoon from the McCoy brothers:
And speaking of animal friends, a few weeks back I learned all about landlord/tenant issues associated with Emotional Support Animal’s when one of my Buzzy tenants asked to get one.
Thus, the following really made me laugh:
And finally a book that someone recommended to me. Like most things Trumpian, I am not sure how true the title may be; but it does make you think doesn’t it?
And back to the Pot in potpourri, here is Cab Calloway talking and singing about the Reefer Man:
