Office supplies are a good Mother's Day gift, right?

We keep a big pad of paper in our pen department at work, so customers can test out the pens that are sold individually. Yesterday night someone wrote on it in huge letters, "What happens in Vegas... gets spread all over Heaven on Judgement Day!" Emily ripped the page off and showed it to me, and I showed it to Moe, and soon everyone in the store had seen it, and we all found it hilarious. 

I was off today, so I rode my bike to Contraband Days. There were the usual carnival rides and foods that you see every year, but there was also a genuine freak show. The signs advertised the world's smallest woman, world's fattest man, and a two-headed calf, among other things. I bought a plate of funnel cakes and ate them on the lake front while listening to a Cajun band play "Jolie Blonde." Then a fat woman in a golf cart told me No Bikes Allowed and I headed home. It was probably a bad idea to eat a plateful of sugary funnel cakes so late in the day, since I have to be at work early tomorrow morning.

Mom and Adam are supposed to be arriving today, but I haven't heard from them yet. They probably won't get in until late.

Did you go see the freak show?

No, it was just too weird. I thought freak shows died out in the first half of the last century. Have you ever seen one at Contraband Days before?

No I hadn't. I didn't go into the main freakshow part but I did look at the snake lady, which was stupid because it was just a lady with her head sticking through a hole in plywood with a fake snake body lying on it. Very stupid. The smallest horse was just one of those Shetland ponies.

As you know, I live in Vegas! I am going to share the Vegas sentence with all of my colleagues and friends today. Thanks for the early morning laugh!
