OK, so here is my cake story....

Last year my daughter wanted a cake for her best friends b-day and asked me to order it from the local Fry's. Simple, Yellow cake, black frosting with "Happy Birthday HOE!"(an yes, it was a joke and meant that lion of hoe/ho)....I ordered online, received no calls and got a confirmation.

Fast forward to us picking it up. A very nervous bakery person approaches my daughter and I and sheepishly tells me that they cannot print "that" on the cake. Before my daughter could say anything I quickly asked, on my best confused tone, what specifically she was referring to. Bakery lady sheepishly says H.O.E and says it is profanity. I instantly come back, this time sounding offended, that HOE are the initials of my great uncle Harold Oscar Edwards and that is why they are in all caps. Bakery lady turns red, apologizes and finishes cake.

Walking out my daughter asked if I had that planned and I admitted absolutely not and I pulled it out of my ass...I earned some respect points from her that day

No, they still censored the cake because they were ignorant of what Summa Cum Laud meant. They were so ignorant they didn't even realize it might mean something not related to sex. They didn't even know what they didn't know.

Ignoramuses.

And in such a feeble attempt to protect the world from itself, they actually created a focus on what they thought they were "obscuring" and people having to explain what "the slang" iteration of that word is and it's meaning.

So, Publix failed the public. Shame on the ninnies in the nanny roles.

I am the most math challenged person that I know,

so when I have to tell the new kid in the meat dept. how to program the scale to get
1/3 pound of meat ,

I feel like Stephen Hawking

Around here we have Bi-Lo grocery stores, and they won't decorate a cake at all. Only what you see in the case.

Well, that's just the icing on the cake.

Did she get the ham part right or did she give you roast beef or turkey?

Yeah, but can you imagine driving to work and being so close to Cumming you can see Siemens?

Mrs. Goodman: Judith. Just one thing. If you can remember... What were Yale's last words?

Judy Benjamin: I'm coming. (Goldie Hawn, Private Benjamin)

Publix has a bigger problem. The gun grabbers want to boycott them now for donating to a Florida candidate that is pro 2A...

Once upon a time Para owned two fora. This and the one he got away from. So the new owner decided in all his wisdom to install new software and insert editing software to prevent our innocent minds from being warped by seeing off color words. So it edited my signature because "Dick" isn't acceptable. But they did some magic to allow me to sign my name. Go figure.

Is it a big deal if you graduate at the top of your class when you're home schooled?

went to the kroger, after we had been here a while, to get some lunchmeat for the week. the usual staff ladies were not at the deli counter, so young John was filing in. asked for a dozen slices and he said, "how many is that, ten?" after i picked my jaw up off the floor, explained that it was more than ten, all the time wondering if he ever saw a carton of eggs...

Would have rocked his world for a baker's ...
