Sleepin' Raw

"Is this where I pick up the truck load of goods?"
"Yep. This is the CBC building."
"Is it a full truck load?"
"What are you driving, a one ton?"
"Yeah."
"Oh yes, it'll fill your truck nicely."
"So what is it, old records or what?"
"Nope. Clothing. All clothing."
"Why not give it to the Sally Ann?"
"They tell me it's a bit sensitive. Ah! here we are."
"Jeez! It's all red!"
"Yep. Liberal Red."
"What kind of clothes are they?"
"Well, there are hundreds of neckties. . . Quite a few turbins. . . but mostly it's underwear."
"Underwear?"
"Yep, a lot of shorts and pajamas and such."
"Wow!
"Yes, strangely enough, it's mostly women's underwear."
"Really? Wow! How come?"
"Well, you know. . . Once the Liberals lost the election. . . change of government. . . emotions running high, especially with the women, and I guess red just reminds them of better days."
"My God! Just look at all those panties!"
"Yes, I know. Kathleen alone donated seventy-two pairs to the pile. . . plus about 50 bras. See those ugly PJ's? . . . Peters!"
"So those tiny little shorts with the big red fish on them must belong to. . ."
"Yep. Rex!"
"Wow! That's great! Let's go for a drink. I have to think about all this."
"I thought you'd never ask."
"So, Old Buddy, Another beer? . . .and what does a CBC janitor make?"
"Not enough!"
"Well, Old son. . . If you and I play our cards right. . . I'm sure that's gonna change!"

When Senility Sets In

Some people might think what I'm about to say is sacrilegious or even un-Canadian, but I'm going to say it anyway. It's time Don Cherry hung up his mouth! It's getting downright embarressing watching Ron, looking up at Don, (who's sitting on a ten inch thick cushion) and trying to keep a sensible conversation flowing. Ron and Kelly are great. Ron and Don are just, well, pathetic. There was a time when Don said it like it was, no holes barred and kind of articulate in an un-articulate sort of way. But in those days, Russians couldn't, or wouldn't hit, Swedes really were wimps and only a Canadian could captain a Stanley Cup winner. Not any more. And when Don now makes his silly predictions which never come true anymore, he doesn't even have the grace to replay them back (Like he always did when some of his predictions actually did happen. Yes, the time has come for the Mouth That Roared to roar no more! Goodbye Don, you were great, and we'll all miss you.
