I knocked on Mrs. Toerag's door, my hat held in my hand. While waiting, I rehearsed the words to say that I had planned. It wouldn't be an easy thing but Toe had been my friend And it was only fitting that I be there in the end. "Well, hello, deer", she smiled at me. "I thought that you were Toe," "Is everything alright?" she said. I sadly whispered "no". "I'm afraid there was a mishap at the brewery", I said, "And I am here to tell you your belov'd Toerag is dead." "Oh, no!" she cried. "How did it happen? How did Toerag die?" "How can I live without him? He's the apple of my eye!" "He fell into a vat of Bud while acting like a clown" "Before the workers could react, your loving husband drowned." "That poor fool!", cried Mizz Toerag. "He was dumber than a stick!". "I hope he didn't suffer. Let me know that he died quick." "Afraid not, ma'am", I shook my head and said, regretfully. "He would have died much faster but climbed out three times to pee!"  |

Smiling...and knowing that Toe will most likely continue to BUG you, is my only hope, and best wishes for the both of you.  |

Very funny, even if it makes being on the wagon a tiny bit more, um, dry feeling. |

Glad I did a search to see if you had been writing something funny lately, because I started to miss your nagging wits. And here I found this jewel (sorry Toe) which will make me laugh all night. Thanks pal for lighten up my night with your special humor. By the way, I like your new look, that's how I remember you, a big smile and twinkling eyes. Like scattered leaves...my words will flow |
