SLATHER ME IN PB & J, BABY
"I'd like a loaf of Wonder bread, a men's black thong, a jar of Skippy, that whip looks nice, and some Welch's grape jelly."
VIP (Very Intimate Pleasures) wants to open a store on the Berlin Turnpike in Berlin, and naturally, the NIMBY's (not in my backyard) are out. Hey, I don't blame them. I wouldn't particularly want a sex shop around the corner from my house either. Or, as they call it, an "adult business."
So VIP is revising the list of products it plans to sell, hoping to win approval as a retail store.
Berlin Town Manager Roger Kemp had what had to be the semi-amusing task of taking a look at those products this week.
He told NBC 30's Susan Goodman: "We will have to try and interpret the values of the community, plus our council's adopted policies that we have to follow, and it should be pretty easy to determine if something has a sexual orientation or if it doesn't."
Why would a sex shop (adult business) sell anything BUT items of a "sexual orientation?"
Taking into consideration the "values of the community," maybe they should look at stocking some of the staples of life if they're that interested in winning a zoning permit.
Hey, when my wife's away I've been known to occasionally buy that loaf of Wonder bread and the jars of Skippy and Welch's and gorge. And let me tell you, THAT is a Very Intimate Pleasure.
The black thong and whip? See me in my next life. I'll answer to Raul. Or maybe Zeus. Yeah that's it. Zeus.

FUN-NY!
Ever think of writing a book?
Thank you.
I've always thought it would be very cool to write a book. But right now, I only have enough deep thoughts for a nice pamphlet.
Actually, when you retire or discontinue your blog, you should publish all your entries as a book. It would be very entertaining reading for a lot of people. If Jay Leno can publish his "headlines", you can publish your blog. I think your blog is better!
