DIVORCE VS. MURDER
.
A nice, calm and respectable lady went into the pharmacy,
walked up to the pharmacist, looked straight into his eye
said, ‘I would like to buy some cyanide.’
..
The pharmacist asked, ‘Why in the world do you need cyanide?’
..
The lady replied, ‘I need it to poison my husband.’
..
The pharmacist’s eyes got big and he exclaimed, ‘Lord have
mercy! I can’t give you cyanide to kill your husband.
..
That’s against the law! I’ll lose my license! They’ll throw both of us
in jail! All kinds of bad things will happen. Absolutely not!
You CANNOT have any cyanide!’
..
The lady reached into her purse and pulled out a picture of

Please join me in remembering a great icon of the entertainment community. The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and trauma complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71. Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, the California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and Captain Crunch. The grave site was piled high with flours.
..
Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described Doughboy as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded. Born and bread in Minnesota, Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes. Despite being a little flaky at times, he still

There were four clergymen who were discussing the merits of the various translations of the Bible.
..
One liked the King James Version because of its simple, beautiful English.
..
Another liked the American Revised Version best because it is more literal and came nearer to the original Hebrew and Greek.
..
Still another liked Moffat’s translation because of its up-to-date vocabulary.
..
The fourth minister was silent. When asked to express his opinion, he replied, “I like my mother’s translation best.”

Gregory dies at 59; Jamaican singer pioneered reggae style known as lovers rock
.
One of the genre major stars in the 1970’s, the ‘Cool Ruler’ had a polished sound and lyrics that focused on tales of love. He was also known for his designer suits.
.
.
Gregory Isaacs, the Jamaican singer who pioneered the style of reggae music known as lovers rock and became one of the genre’s major stars in the 1970s, has died. He was 59.
.
Isaacs died Monday at his home in London, according to his manager, Copeland Forbes. He had been diagnosed with lung cancer last year.
.
Known as the “Cool Ruler,” as he styled himself in the title of a 1978 album, Isaacs cut a dapper figure in his designer suits and silk shirts — an image suited to a style of music that emphasized romantic yearning over reggae’s more traditional themes of spiritual and political transformation.
.
“I’d say he’s one of the three geniuses I’ve known in the reggae music business, and I’ve known everyone,” said Gary Himelfarb, who recorded several Isaacs albums for his Washington, D.C.-based RAS Records label in the 1990s.
.
“Gregory was the kind of person who could walk through a room of 20 people and come out the other side and tell you what everybody was wearing,” added Himelfarb, whose professional name is Doctor Dread. “He could sit at a piano and compose incredible tunes. He was really brilliant. He was on a whole other level than your typical Jamaican artist.”
.
Isaacs was born in Kingston on July 15, 1951, and grew up in Denham Town. In school, he enjoyed reading, composition and painting, and at home he listened to American R&B on his family’s radio.
