* Another Florida Season- Who Makes The Best Bagels In Florida?

Your thoughts are much appreciated!

* Humor!

The king wanted to go fishing, and he asked the royal weather forecaster the forecast for the next few hours. The palace meteorologist assured him that there was no chance of rain.

So the king and the queen went fishing. On the way he met a man with a fishing pole riding on a donkey, and he asked the man if the fish were biting.

The fisherman said, “Your Majesty, you should return to the palace! In just a short time I expect a huge rainstorm.”

The king replied: “I hold the palace meteorologist in high regard. He is an educated and experienced professional. Besides, I pay him very high wages. He gave me a very different forecast. I trust him.”

So the king continued on his way. However, in a short time a torrential rain fell from the sky The King and Queen were totally soaked.

Furious, the king returned to the palace and gave the order to fire the meteorologist. Then he summoned the fisherman and offered him the prestigious position of royal forecaster.

The fisherman said, “Your Majesty, I do not know anything about forecasting. I obtain my information from my donkey. If I see my donkey’s ears drooping, it means with certainty that it will rain.”

So the king hired the donkey.

And thus began the practice of hiring dumb asses to work in influential positions of government.

The practice is unbroken to this very day!

***** Adrienne’s Pizzabar, 378 South Rosemary Avenue, West Palm Beach, Florida 33401, (561) 834-0300.

Got a real good pizza joint for you guys to checkout, Adrienne’s Pizzabar in West Palm Beach.
Simple tale to tell, last night, Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and our dear friends Nat and Gloria “discovered” Adrienne’s Pizzabar and its food absolutely killed! Inside table/ booth/ high top seating, full eat at liquor bar, flat screen tvs, happy hour, reasonably priced salads/ appetizers/ pizzas/ pastas/ sandwiches/ desserts/ brunch menu.

Let’s wrap Adrienne’s Pizzabar up by saying- that the joint’s food was delicious, the joint’s service was excellent, that if the joint was a small drop closer to Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats’ Boca Raton abode we would be real steady customers, that the joint is open 7 days a week 11:30am-midnight, that you can check menus/prices/info at adriennesbar.com.

The Twist is the first song in history to be number one for over 50 years according to Billboard Magazine. In 1959 Chubby premiered “The Twist” on American Bandstand and in two minutes and forty two seconds “dancing apart to the beat” became the style of dance on the dance floor world-wide.
