APPLES, ORANGES, ETC.

My husband, Jim, wrote the following article and asked me to post this for him since his typing skills leave a lot to be desired. Since I wanted to post this article in this decade I typed it myself, but the words are his.


To Mr. Apples & Oranges,


To separate them, you need to know which is which. But in your case, I don't think you do. But we will let the people decide.


You use words so unusual that someone must have to tell you what they mean.


You talk about being physically fit but since you own a hot dog and pizza stand, I don't see how you can eat this food and stay fit.


I don't know if the city gives you a tax break, but the regular people in New Albany don't get one. But the taxes paid by the people of New Albany are what keeps Community Park going, not the taxes paid by people from Louisville.


If you were going to a picnic at Community Park you would probably stop on Grantline Rd. to buy everything you need, but me, I'm not stupid, I would bring everything I need from home.


Your friend,


Jim Baird
(HA HA)


Jim didn't mention this, but he did tell me July 4th that if Community Park collected just one dollar from every out of town visitor we would have the funds to pave our streets and do everything else we need to do. I must agree. A water park paid for by the kind citizens of Louisville, what a concept.


BTW I pay taxes for the privilege of working in Louisville.

Would he like for me to reprint his thoughts at NAC, where the original post appears? He qualifies.

Hot dogs? I believe he's confusing me with Dave Himmel.

Footnote: For those not growing all their food at home, there is both a Kroger and Wal-Mart on Grant Line Road. I wouldn't advise shopping at the latter.

to anon. 5:15 OK so you didn't spell out the obcenities. This is a warning, I will not tolerate this kind of language.

Nor should you tolerate the slander itself. It's not true. I realize live ammo is the choice du jour, and anonynoids live to tell lies, but you'd better have a witness when you make such accusations. Shirley, unless you yourself heard Randy Smith say what is stated above, you'd be well advised to take it down from your blog.

You are right, it has been removed.

Randy said...

Thanks. Your quick attention to the matter is what I expected here.

Mr. Bookseller; how do you know that comment was never said? Rumor downtown they have it on tape. It's ok for Smith to call Shirley a racists but if someone uses the "n word" then it's ok?

The rumor before that was that I said it. It reminds me of a supposed Jewish proverb:

"What you don't see with your eyes, don't witness with your mouth."

I like beer
It makes me a jolly good fellow
I like beer
It helps me unwind, and sometimes it makes me feel mellow

(Tom T Hall)

Now that all the major beer brands are in foreign hands, the patriotic imperative is to drink microbrewed beer -- right, America firsters?
