Hmmm...I'm sure there's a lyric from a musical that mentions Baby Ruth, but it's not coming to mind at the mo'...

Yiddish?

Is there a Jewish bar?

A blessing for the bar, of course

Bless and keep the bar - far away from us.

So a blind guy walks into a bar...

Dan (the Man) · « **Reply #34 on:** June 11, 2010, 07:35:32 AM »

Wait--I have an actual joke for that one--

A blind guy walks into a bar. And the bartender asks, "What can I get for you, buddy?"

And the blind man says, "I'll have a Helen Keller."

The bartender says, "A Helen Keller? I never heard of that drink. What's in it?"

And the blind man says, "Scotch and waaaaaah."

Possible "Glee" Spoilage for anyone who hasn't seen the episode:

DR Cillaliz: Regarding my comments yesterday about "Glee", I respectfully disagree with the notion that I revealed anything regarding plot.

I reacted to the show and the performance of "New Directions". Nothing more.

My comment was not at all black-and-white in context for anyone who hadn't watched the show. As "New Directions" is the "star" of "Glee" in terms of subject matter, and as the season was pointing toward a regionals victory, and because so much was at stake, I said I didn't think they deserved to win...based on the performance they gave. I didn't say they didn't win, and I didn't say anyone else won. Only someone who had seen the show could have associated my comment with what actually happened.

End Possible Spoilage

DtM - Found the whole Ruth-roof joke

Talking Dog Joke?

A man walks into a bar with a small dog under his arm and sits down at the counter, placing the dog on the stool next to him. The bartender says, "Sorry, pal. No dogs allowed."

The man says, "But this is a special dog -- he talks!"

"Yeah, right," says the bartender. "Now get out of here before I throw you out."

"No, wait," says the man. "I'll prove it." He turns to the dog and asks, "What do you normally find on top of a house?"

"Roof!" says the dog, wagging his tail.

"Listen, pal..." says the bartender.

"Wait," says the man, "I'll ask another question." He turns to the dog again and asks, "What's the opposite of soft?"

"Ruff!" exclaims the dog.

"Quit wasting my time and get out of here," says the bartender.

"One more chance," pleads the man. Turning to the dog again, he asks, "Who was the greatest baseball player that ever lived?"

"Ruth!" barked the dog.

"Okay, that's it!" says the bartender, and physically throws both man and dog out the door and onto the street.

Turning to the man, the dogs shrugs and says, "Maybe I should have said Joe Dimaggio?"

Cute.

Jose Sighting.

He's alive and well and not hanging around his apartment. Con Ed is still doing work so he took a stroll downtown and we crossed paths at the Greenmarket.

Con Ed. With an emphasis on the former. I really don't like utility companies. The DWP has been working on a nearby street - a popular street - putting in new pipes that will purportedly make the tap water quality better - right. This job was given the okay - nine months. It has now been three years. And they are not only not finished, trying to drive on that street is now completely impossible.

I'm up because of hammering again - the entire week we've had hammering. It lasts from approximately eight o'clock until eight-twenty - in other words, just long enough to wake everyone nearby. Then they stop. If it happens tomorrow, up I will get and I will find the perpetrator and see what's going on.

I'm going to start getting ready to leave for the mixing session - very excited to hear everything and hopefully finessing will be minor and I'll be out of there in three or four hours.

I'm sure that if DR Elmore gives a listen to it, he won't be able to stop singing it to himself.

I just read that ELF is coming to B'way as a musical. When I first read the headline, I thought it said ALF (which I think would be a better idea...)

And despite reports that Melissa Etheridge is joining the cast of MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET, she is not going to play Elvis.

Why do they always tease with these headlines?
