As a financial planner I recommend that you review any holdings you may have in the following stocks:

American Can, Interstate Water, National Gas Co., Northern Tissue Co. Due to uncertain market conditions, I advise you to sit tight on your American Can, hold your Water and let go of your Gas. You may also be interested to know that Northern Tissue touched a new bottom today and millions were wiped clean.

This is from a letter to the family from the matriarch:

My dear Children,

I have become a little older since I last saw you, and a few changes have come into my life since then. Frankly I've become a frivolous old gal. I'm seeing five gentlemen everyday.

As soon as I wake up, Will Power helps me get out of bed.

Then I go to see John.

Charlie Horse comes along and takes a lot of my time and attention.

When he leaves Arthur Ritis shows up and stays the rest of the day. He doesn't like to stay in one place for very long, so he takes me from joint to joint.

After such a busy day, I'm really tired and glad to go to bed with Ben Gay. What a life! Oh yes, I'm also flirting with Al Zymers. Â….Love, Grandma

Upon wakening, an anthropologist named Stone

Found two Iraqis arguing full blown.

With a leg bone, it's said

He killed them both dead.

Thus, stilling two Kurds with one bone.

Remember one thing

Though the 'B' in debt's silent

It supplies the sting.
