Pleading the 5th


On this date, in 1862, the Mexicans defeated France's Napoleon III at the battle of Puebla.
That being said, why aren't there more Taco Bells in Paris?
And why isn't France erecting a fence at ITS border?

History tells us that Buddha was born on this date. Ya think that's whence the name, "Pot-Bellied Stove?" Judging by some of his caricatures, he might have coined the term, "Fat and Happy."

Also blowing out candles is Karl Marx...no relation to Zeppo, Harpo or Groucho.

Doubling the pleasure: Is there a Top 10 List that explains why Dave has a Top 10 List?

Famous number: 5 finger discount, 5 o'clock shadow, my kid sister, five-n-dime, 5'll getya ten, take 5, 5 to life, gimme 5, high 5, Nine to 5 and I'm sure many others...........

Odd Infinitum: Mother's Day will soon be upon us. Remember to send greetings to all those on YOUR list.

Can You Help Me NOW?!?

I just received a pamphlet from the American Red Cross, in conjuction with my Donor Membership Card. According to the info within:

Only 5% of eligible U.S. population actually donates blood
Only 30% of 1st time donors come back a 2nd time
1 donation can save up to 3 lives

Every 2 seconds, someone in America needs blood

The need is critical

Will it be there when YOU need some?
