Chuckle 5530

(Today’s Chuckle thanks go to Bev in Mt Vernon WA)

~Bob Hope~ (Plus: Today in history, Word for the day, Today’s horoscope, Aunty Acid and Sign )

On his deathbed they asked him where he wanted to be buried. Bob Hope replied: "Surprise me."

I had forgotten that he lived to be 100, and it has been almost 17 years since he died.

For those of you too young to remember Bob Hope, ask your grandparents and thanks for the memories.

This is a tribute to a man who DID make a difference....
