You know how you get those silly ideas in the middle of the night that just won't let you fall asleep. Some of you probably think about real important things; global warming, presidential elections, the CIA involvement in 911, or how the IRS has been illegally ripping off the American people by forcing them to pay illegal taxes on wages since WWII. Unfortunately for me, I never think about those things. Instead, I have ideas like the following bounding around in my head. What If Mother Goose Were a Dart Player! JACK SPRAT: Jack sprat could hit no fats and his wife was really mean. Betwixt the two they couldn’t get other darters to join their team.

Friday’s child will practice hard and Saturday’s child will be awkward. But the child that is born on the Sabbath day will have the darts that never stray. POP GOES THE SCISSLE: While playing games of 501 Karl was chasing Rodger Karl thought it was all in fun. Pop, goes the scissile. A drink for a set that's won! A drink for the lesson!

Another win for Carter. Karl’s stroke was running him broke. Pop, goes the scissile. Now the night was finally done Karl had not a penny Rodger stayed and shot for fun. Pop, went the scissile.
