Demise Of Two Famous People

Post by kumininexile »

Well, James Brown died on Xmas Eve. Now there's a blurb in a financial magazine I look at everyday, saying that Gerald Ford has died at the age of 93.

Snooze, I always laugh at that "old wives' tale." They "come in threes" because we stop counting after three! :wah:

Gerald Ford was fun to watch...the poor man used to fall down and bump into things with great regularity! Must've been amusing for his wife, since she was a dancer and quite graceful!

My money's on Saddam. Seems like a "dead cert" (pun intended).
