Michael's Musings

August 10, 2011

An old man and woman were married for many years, even though they hated each other.

Whenever there was a confrontation, yelling could be heard deep into the night. The old man would shout, "When I die, I will dig my way up and out of the grave and come back and haunt you for the rest of your life!"

Neighbors feared him. They believed he practiced magic, because of the many strange occurrences that took place in their neighborhood.

The old man liked the fact that he was feared.

To everyone's relief, he died of a heart attack when he was 98.

His wife had a closed casket at the wake. After the burial, she went straight to the local bar and began to party, as if there was no tomorrow.

Her neighbors, concerned for her safety, asked, "Aren't you afraid that he may indeed be able to dig his way out of the grave and haunt you for the rest of your life?'

The wife put down her drink and said, "Let him dig. I had him buried upside down.  And you know men won't ask for directions."

You have a creative day.

Yesterday was so depressing as far as the stock market was concerned.

It seems that every time that Obama opens his mouth, the market drops 100 points.

In any event, here's the trailer to the "Bugsy's Boys" short story, one of six yarns in my new book, DRACULA MEETS JACK THE RIPPER And Other Revisionist Histories.

This story is a bit different from the others in the book, because it was inspired by something that actually happened to me.

And, BTW, that's my son, David, playing the "David Goodman" role.

He's not a member of SAG, so I didn't have to pay him.

You have a creative day.

I've posted the 2nd of 5 teaser trailers for my book DRACULA MEETS JACK THE RIPPER And Other Revisionist Histories, now available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble and elsewhere. 

This trailer focuses on "Napoleon Brandy," one of my favorite stories in the book.

Over on the Best Bets on DVD page, accessible via the link in the Introduction section of this page, there's a new review of the animated feature, HOODWINKED TOO! HOOD vs EVIL.  The small fry will love this one.

Now here's a joke to start off your week:

3 Irishmen are having a brew in a Belfast bar.

Michael says, "I know a pub in Dublin where if you order 3 beers, you get one free." 

Alf responds, "That’s nuthin'; I know a pub in Limerick where you order 3 beers you get 2 free." 

Timothy, a wee bit hoity-toity, pronounces, "Hell, there's a pub in Cork where if you have 3 beers, you get them all free and you get laid too." 

Michael asks, "Have you been there?" 

Timothy: "No, but my sister has."

You have a creative day.

Michael
