Annual Physical

Celebrities

   "Bruce Willis is having dinner with his daughter," texted my son who was in a Chinese restaurant in New York.

   "Can you take a selfie?" we texted back. Shameful, isn't it? True story though.

   Why this fascination with celebrities? I mean, aren't they just people? Who cares what they eat? Who cares what perfumes they endorse? Well, apparently a lot of people do. And these celebrities get a handsome check for saying they really really love this hamburger. Or that their game is so much better when they wear one of those shocking luminous green basketball shoes. Of course people don't really believe those lies and yet they still buy those products. Go figure!

     Once you're a celebrity, you're always a celebrity. If you were a rich man ... yada dada dada dum! People look up to you and people want to be like you. And even when someone unearths a scandal the more interesting you become! Amazing isn't it?

    Actors complain about nosey reporters even though they knew the price for fame and fortune was the loss of privacy. Don't they get it? Being in the spotlight is why you get paid the big bucks, silly!

   Protective fans complain about the paparazzis yet it is the fans themselves who support those photographers when they buy those magazines. Can anybody stop this madness?

   Let's start a movement. Let's be the catalyst of change! Imagine a world without any celebrities ... a world without gossip --- where everyone is just like everybody else. Imagine ... just imagine ...

   Oh, by the way, later we found out that Bruce wasn't with his daughter but with his wife. Ooooo ...

After the ninety-three year old lady finished her annual physical examination, the doctor said "You are in fine shape for you age, Mrs. Mallory, but tell me, do you still have intercourse?"

"Just a minute, I'll have to ask my husband," she said.
She stepped out into the crowded reception room and yelled out loud:

"Henry, do we still have intercourse?"
And there was a hush! You could hear a pin drop.

Henry answered impatiently, "If I told you once, Irma I told you a hundred times... What we have is......

... Blue Cross!!"

This would be even funnier if this wasn't so sad. To think that these kids are able to vote makes you understand why we get so frustrated with America's political parties.

It's a star-studded celebrity night and they are paying tribute to a music legend --- Billy Joel. What a fun evening. Can I name drop? One of my subscriber's daughter is his agent. How does it feel to be part of this elite TGIF community?
