OK, this one is funny and ought be in your list Ardis. Someone at T&S forgot to pay their DNS bill. So when I went to read their latest post I got this: http://www.libertypages.com/cgw/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/tsbad.jpg "Mormon Garments" Bargin Prices. Smart Deals. Save on Mormon Garments! LOL.

“Gifts with a lift” — you’ll be the envy of your ward, Justin, when grab your hat and tell your bishop what you gave yourself.

Keepa has found its purpose in life: personal gift consultant!

I've decided what I am buying myself for Christmas this year.

I always wanted pasteurized dishes.

Or melted lipstick. Ha. I’m slow…took me a minute to realize they were talking about lipstick ON the dishes.

Yeah, I’m that dense sometimes.

p.s. My first thought on seeing this was, “Is this for real?”

Fun stuff, Ardis.

Steve, I do the cooking, but DW won’t let me touch the dishwasher. Frankly, I don’t grieve the loss.

BruceC. I thought I was the only one who did the cooking and dishes in my wife’s kitchen. Now I don’t feel all alone.

I can’t get over the visual of the dishes looking like they’ve been dumped into the dishwasher without any order or separation. I just can’t picture my wife letting me even touch the dishwasher if I tried to “stack ‘em” like that picture.

No, Ben, even before the hat, which Ardis caught, you have to use basic principles of illustrated advertising.

The only “spoken” words in the ad are said to, not by, the bishop.

The drawing shows a person speaking. Or else he’s gasping for air, or laughing, or something. But none of those is likely. He’s speaking.

QED.

Hah! Sexism raises its ugly head again. I’ll have you know that I do all the dishwashing in our house. There was a period of time when Sandra used to get a bit miffed when I’d tell her that the dishes in the dishwasher were clean, because she thought I was hinting that she should unload them. I had to explain to her (a few times, before she believed me) that what I was really saying was, “Please don’t put any dirty items in there, because what’s in there is already clean.” ..bruce..
