Welcome to Cole Camp, Missouri…

Today is the birthday, in 1945, of Eddie Brigati. He was born and raised in Garfield, NJ and graduated from Garfield High in 1963. He and Felix Cavaliere were members of Joey Dee and the Starliters who went on to form the basis of another group – The Young Rascals. The two are responsible for writing and singing most of their songs, including this one.

They had a number of hits, including this one.

Today is the birthday, in 1950, of Tom Petty. I know he was popular but, to me, all his songs sound alike. So instead, to get you up and out of bed, here is Lou Bega.

Bada Bing!

In the word scent, is the S or the C silent?

I have a vaccine joke, but a lot of people won’t get it!

A lawyer wakes up after surgery.He asks the nurse why the blinds are drawn.She says, “There’s a fire outside and we didn’t want you to think the operation was a failure.”

I just bought a microwave fireplace… you can spend an evening in front of it in only eight minutes.

Possessions increase to fill the space available for their storage.

I think the scariest part of that song “Born to be Wild” is when they find a head out on the highway.

I always carry a stone with me to throw at people who sing Christmas songs in October.I call it my jingle bell rock.

I always bring a harmonica on a date in case I’m expected to perform in bed.

Okay, so… apparently you have to eat healthy more than once to get in shape… this is cruel and unfair.

Man in jail talking to his lawyer…The guy in front of me had 21 items in the 15 items or less express lane. He had coupons. He had bottle returns. He wrote a check. Then he recorded it in his checkbook. Then he double-checked his receipt.After that, all I remember is the police showing up.

I passed a store with a sign that said, “We treat you like family”.Nope, not going in there.

The day rover walks into the wrong neighborhood
