This Day in History: April 17...Every Year But 1881
Believe it or not, I actually went to an accredited college -- and no, not a clown college -- for a few years at least. However, since then, my lifelong learning has been put aside somewhat, okay, completely, to pursue my true callings: cheap wine, foxy ladies, cheap beer, willing ladies and, uh, lordy, I need to get a life.
Anyway, here's some education for you AND me in our brand spanking new feature at this comedy blog: THIS DAY IN HISTORY. And as the headline indicates, we cannot and will not be held accountable for what happened in 1881. That year was just so full of crap.
This Day in History: April 17...Every Year But 1881*

* Red Red Wine by UB40 was the #1 single on the U.S. pop charts.
* Comedian Mike Doe told a joke to a stranger in an elevator.
* Busta Rhymes made a crazy face while rapping AND the crowd went wild.
* Paris Hilton groped Britney Spears' you-know-what'ems.

* Any and all factual errors are the fault of my Intern Bob, or the lack thereof.

Actually, Coca-Cola was invented by Doctor John Pemberton, a pharmacist from Atlanta, Georgia.
Skawt,
Are you sure of that? I'd have to see some independent verification of that "fact." Now if you had said it was invented by Johnny Cola or something more plausible, I'd be more inclined take what you said at face value.
Was listening to Neil Diamond's Hot August Night version of Red Red Wine yesterday and realizing that I prefer the UB40 version.
DeeJay,
You are not alone. I LOVE the UB40 version. Lots of great memories.
Where the crap was my name at the end there?!?! ;)
P.S. Thanks for throwing a Britney shout-out. haha :)
Shylie743,
That's it! Intern Bob is going to get a formal reprimand. This injustice cannot stand!
Okay, just got off the phone with my people and your site is now officially up, numero uno. As is proper.
Holy mackerel! You are awesome Mike!!!
Thanks for the attention! It helps soothe my poor ego. :)
(and PS Maybe it was the toilet that was invented by that crapper guy) :) xoxo
aka_monty,
You're welcome. And, no, John Crapper invented Coca-Cola, which is appropriate considering how much better Diet Pepsi is than the Crapper rip-off version.
