Baxter's Unusual Talent

First of all let me start off by saying, "there ARE dumb questions." It's a matter of who's asking. My friend Jackie told me to start my own blog. She says it's because she knows I write and would have good stories to tell. Personally I think it's because I'm full of shit. People who are full of shit are good at playing the game, Balderdash.

By that I mean late forties or early fifties. They looked around for a booth or table and since the only one available was next to us, they opted for the bar. I wasn't offended by this because perhaps unconsciously this couple knew that I would annoy them to no end. You see I...

Ring…ring...... “You’ve reached THE WHITE HOUSE.   We’re sorry, we can’t come to the phone right now, please leave a….you know what, we are NOT sorry, we actually don’t give a rat’s ass about you and your FAKE accusations about the POTUS – he was the boss of The Celebrity Apprentice don’t you know, and a good business man, even though he has filed for bankruptcy several times and claims he is still a billionaire.    Leave a message if you wish, but know that it will fall on deaf ears.   We don’t give a crap about the American people just as long as we get our name in the media."   Beep.
