Did you ever listen to the show, "Wait, Wait, Don't tell me?" These would be perfect for that show! It airs on Saturdays, I think at noon, but you can check the website.<BR/><BR/>These need some exposure!Ann Mariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16902866651914643713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5505123326037630415.post-48605830291778005622009-03-04T16:33:59.576-05:002009-03-04T16:33:59.576-05:00I guess the sarcasm didn't come across ...Peter Davishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14051525743669602612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5505123326037630415.post-26558370949330430442009-03-04T16:27:00.000-05:002009-03-04T16:27:00.000-05:00Nice one.
