George,

 >   WHAT??!! NO GRAVY??!! 

 GP> The existence of mashed potatoes necessarily presumes gravy. . . OF
 GP> COURSE!!

  There was a cartoon awhile back, where this dog used a cat and mouse to
get all this meat, but he had to have gravy with it. Well, he made enough
money in a deal to buy out a butcher shop, and he said "I'll never be hungry
again!!". 

  The next scene, he's in the animal hospital, with a huge belly, and the
vet says "A distinct case of over eating, doctor!!". The door opens, and
here's the cat and the mouse who were so persecuted by the dog...grinning,
and saying "This time, we didn't forget the gravy"...and pour this huge
drum of it down the dog's throat. 

 GP> What is a Brussels-Griffon? A cross between a baby cabbage & a
 GP> lion-eagle?

  I think that's the name of the breed...and there are some unusual ones.
At least the weiner dog isn't a phallic symbol with paws and a tail. :P

 GP> My day out's not complete unless I have made a dozen pretty gals smile.
 GP> . .

  You've got work to do. 

 GP> Life: while we were out, on a bus, waiting for the departure time, a
 GP> bolt struck the building beside us, just across the dstreet -- loudest
 GP> sonic boom I've ever heard!

  I've heard the static pop off of a metal doorframe from a close strike.

 GP> Q: Wanna know what makes me smile?
 GP> A: Face muscles.

  It takes more muscles to frown than to smile.

 GP> A bus driver in Mission told me on morning, "Smie, things could be
 GP> worse..."
 GP>   So I smiled, & yup, things got worse. . .

  Sounds like my life lately.

 GP> I wanted to make sure my wife woke up with a big smile on her face this
 GP> morning...
 GP> I'm not allowed to keep Sharpies in the house anymore

  ROTFL -- or in my case, it's "Ran Out To Find Lunch". 

 GP> Q: What do you call a woman who smiles at you when you leave the house
 GP> and smiles again when you come back?
 GP> A: The neighbour's wife
