The strike by 70,000 grocery store workers, now joined by 8,000 truck drivers, has been taking its toll in Southern California. Shoppers are inconvenienced by half-empty shelves and closed stores. Supermarket workers are trying to cope with meager strike benefits and mounting bills.

Mc Donald's for Christmas supper doesn't sound all that appetizing.

No, it doesn't....well, if you change your mind, our grits tree is just loaded down this year. ;-)

Granted, I get small parts and not bulk lumber.

A fellow takes a vacation to Las Vegas, A follows B and he finds himself at a brothel out-of-town. He sits down in the foyer and watchs a parade of beautiful women walk past him, coyly smiling. Blondes, brunettes and redheads, short, tall, curvy and gorgous; the guy is pretty stoked, and can't wait to get on with things. The Madam comes out, and leads him upstairs, and knocks on the door of a room.

When the door opens, the guy is agast. Waiting for him, arrayed on the bed, is a seventy year old woman, baggy and saggy, with a toothless grin and evil leer.

"Hey!" says the guy, "I paid you $200! I want one of those other girls!"

"Sorry," says the Madam, "but we are a Union shop, and Doris here has seniority!"
