ON this date in 1951 - The Western Hills Hotel in Fort Worth, TX, became the first hotel to feature all foam-rubber mattresses and pillows.

Mattress salesmen, Bun Man and Mr. Purple (perhaps their most rewarding job ever), nailed the sale when Mr. Purple uttered the now famous sales-nailing statement "You can't go wrong using a rubber."

The Boy is just prophetic...foamingly so I think.

ON this date in 1765 - Nine American colonies sent a total of 28 delegates to New York City for the Stamp Act Congress.

The delegates adopted the "Declaration of Rights and Grievances."

Delegates Bun Man and Mr. Purple from the Delaware Colony made the mistake of taking their wives w/ them.

When the ladies heard the word 'stamp', they took it and ran and 'STAMPIN'UP' was formed.

There was some solace in this newfound activity, the women stayed out of politics for quite some time.

Given the sexual mores at the time, the MPAA felt they had to do something to protect proper American citizens.

But the joke was really on the MPAA as Bun and P's movie was really about 'budding scientific interest' not some 'sick, perverted topic' as some had imagined.

(I know, there were a few of you who were going there also...)

ON this date in 1968 - The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) adopted the film-rating system that ranged for "G" to "X."

Apparently, this was in response to vicious rumors over Bun Man and Mr. Purple's new movie which was set to debut in Nov '68.

The picture was entitled "I am Curious..."

The Pols got involved and within 2 years, Iraq became the focus...

THERE WAS OIL IN IRAQ AND THEY WOULD WELCOME US WITH OPEN ARMS, seems rather hollow now.

ON this date in 2001 - The U.S. and Great Britain began airstrikes in Afghanistan in response to that state's support of terrorism and Osama bin Laden.

The act was the first military action taken in response to the terrorist attacks on the U.S. on September 11, 2001.

Army Planners Bun Man and Mr. Purple had laid out the preferred strategy for military intervention, but then...

TOO BUSY TO PHILOSOPHIZE

#pups4peace

Ken-Dogger: Morning Jake
Jake: Hey KD, what are we headed for today?
KD: Not sure Jake, I’m gonna spread some more stone.
J: You go Dawg, I’m diggin’ the improvements.
KD: So what are you going to do?
J: Not sure, think I might sit a spell and just ponder…
KD: You are quite the philosopher.
J: Someone’s gotta be, you Humans aren’t showing much capability lately…
KD: Too busy just eking out a living Jake…

For My Stoner Bros and Sistas...

I was riding a donkey the other day when someone threw a rock at me and I fell off.

I guess I was stoned off my ass.

Morning Peeps,

Gotta do some lab work today at the VA clinic. Will get it done early so I can be ready for golf later today.

I call it stacking priorities...

AND...

MATH GEEKS

Just want to report the new Improper Fraction Helpdesk

is Now open 24/7🍎🍎🍎

I tried to tell him that doing mammograms is a little more sophisticated than what you typically find at a roadside stand.

Bun looked a little puzzled, he replied "They'd enjoy this station more..."

Bun reiterated he was all about early detection...

ON this date in 2014 - Bun Man awakens me w/ what he thinks is a great idea.

Bun says "Dude, it's Breast Cancer Awareness Month right now, so I was thinking that Mr. Purple and I, given our notoriety, could open a roadside Mammogram station on Tharp Road.

We would offer the service for free..."

Just after Bun Man and Mr. Purple read the Book of Mormon, also called 'Jesus the Western', and they decided they would become Mormons because they were so cool w/ polygamy, on this day in 1890 Polygamy was outlawed by the Mormon Church.

News travelled slowly in those days so the Boyz, well let's just say, the Boyz took advantage of the communication breakdown for quite some time.

2016 - So I'm reading the Times this AM and Bun Man looks over my shoulder (the boy is a nuisance at times) and he says "Why do you suppose the election season is this long in America?"

Mr. P chimes in before I have a chance to respond and he says "Follow the money, dude...In America, it's always about knowing who is making money off the problem before you can fix the problem..."

And the media makes scads off of this BS...

WHEN ALL OF US MEAN MORE

#pups4peace

Ken-Dogger: Morning Theodore, that’s a look…
Theodore: Hey Bro, just wondering about the climate.
KD: What exactly?
T: Well, we don’t seem to want to do anything about it.
KD: Mostly due to costs, the elite like their money.
T: Do they think they will avoid the devastation?
KD: I think so, mostly because they’ve avoided other devastation.
T: Will we turn things around?
KD: When ALL of us mean more than ANY of us, only then.

WHEN MORALS MATTER

Morning Peeps,

#pups4peace

Ken-Dogger: Morning Dutch, you’re looking down.
Dutch: I am Bro, it’s Monica…
KD: Oh, you mean Lewinsky, she’s back at it.
D: Must be a down news day, the scandal returns after 23 years.
KD: So, they made a show about the affair, and it’s Breaking News.
D: When you let scandal define you, it’s all you’ve got.
KD: Truly USA right there, your history might suck, but you can still make money off it.
D: Morals only matter when profit no longer works.

Morning Peeps,

Hollywood legend Bette Davis died on this date in 1989.

"You will never be happier than you expect. To change your happiness, change your expectation."

- Bette Davis
