Interestingly, Yoko Ono has never been known to share her French fries nor to split the cost of a meal or eat a banana split. She has also never split rails or firewood, and her refusal to do the splits cost her a career as a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader. ---

QEII broke up the Beatles. It wasn’t Yoko Ono. It was John’s decision to bring her into the studio. Once she was in, the others didn’t leave. That leaves Queen Elizabeth. Here’s how she broke up the Beatles: She said, “Three old women walked out of a shop. The first said, ‘It’s windy.’ The second responded, ‘No it’s not! It’s Thursday!’ The third said, ‘Me too, let’s go get a beer.’” The Beatles broke up. ---

A group of Houston’s upper class frequently meet to watch ball games; hanging out in an expensive suite and indulging on high priced Champaign and caviar.

The percentages do not add up because, woefully, Elendil’s Heir cannot add. Oh, he can subtract, divide, multiply, do square roots and run a slide rule into the ground, but he just cannot seem to add. ---
