In honor of the 44th President of the United States a new Ice Cream Flavor

has been introduced,  Barocky Road ..

Barocky Road is a blend of half vanilla, half chocolate, and surrounded by nuts and flakes. 

The vanilla portion of the mix is not openly advertised and usually denied as an ingredient. 

The nuts and flakes are all very bitter and hard to swallow.

The cost is $92.84 per scoop...so out of a hundred dollar bill 

you are at least promised some CHANGE..!

When purchased it will be presented to you in a large beautiful cone, 

but after you pay for it, the ice cream is taken away and given to the person in line behind you at no charge.

You are left with an almost empty wallet, staring at an empty cone 

and wondering what just happened. 

Then you realize this is what "redistribution of wealth" is all about.

Aren't you just stimulated?

On Halloween, San Francisco kids will be handing candy back

By Isabel Bonfatti


San Franciscans have a reputation for trying to do everything differently. This Halloween, some children will be handing candy back instead of looking only into filling up their treat bags. It's all about fighting against cocoa farmers' poverty with the Reverse Trick-or-Treating movement.


Despite years of promises from the major chocolate manufacturers, too little has been done to tackle the documented problem of forced child labor on many farms that supply such manufacturers with their cocoa. Even though chocolate makers continue to enjoy profitable business, the cocoa farmers have been kept in dire straits after all those years. The organization Equal Exchange is donating kits with organic, fairly traded chocolate alongside informational cards so kids - and grownups, too - can give them away in an effort to raise awareness of citizens towards the case for fairly traded goods and farmers' rights.

One philosophy....

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming 'WOO HOO, What a Ride."

Here are the rest of them............

Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?
A: Well, if you have a body and you have fat, your ratio is one to one.
If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc.

Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program?
A: Can't think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain...Good!

Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?
A: YOU'RE NOT LISTENING!!! ...... Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil.
In fact, they're permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you?

Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle?
A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger.
You should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach.

Q: Is chocolate bad for me?
A: Are you crazy? HELLO Cocoa beans ! Another vegetable!!!
It's the best feel-good food around!

Q: Is swimming good for your figure?
A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me.

Q: Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle?
A: Hey! 'Round' is a shape!

Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets.

WORK THIS OUT ................

Figure this one out!!Don't cheat... This is pretty neat.

DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!

It takes less than a minute ..Work this out as you read .Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out!

This is not one of those waste of time things, it's fun.

1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate (more than once but less than 10)


2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)


3. Add 5

4. Multiply it by 50 -- I'll wait while you get the calculator

5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1759 ..If you haven't, add 1758.

6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born. You should have a three digit number



The first digit of this was your original number(i.e., how many times you want to have chocolate each week).



The next two numbers are YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!)


THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2009) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS.
