Think you're having a bad day? Here's the Born Loser! Excerpts From The Born Loser By Bor N. Luser "When I was born..the doctor came out to the waiting room and said to my father...I'm very sorry. We did everything we could...but he pulled through." "When I played in the sandbox the cat kept covering me up." "What a dog I got. His favorite bone is in my arm!" "I worked in a pet store and people kept asking how big I'd get." "I remember the time I was kidnapped and they sent back a piece of my finger to my father. He said he wanted more proof" "I went to a freak show and they let me in for nothing." "Once when I was lost.. I saw a policeman and asked him to help me find my parents. I said to him...Do you think we'll ever find them? He said..I don't know kid, there are so many places they can hide." "I remember I was so depressed I was going to jump out a window on the tenth floor... so they sent a priest up to talk to me. He said.. On your mark..." "Last week my tie caught on fire. Some guy tried to put it out with an ax!" "I met the Surgeon General. He offered me a cigarette!" "A girl phoned me and said...Come on over there's nobody home. I went over... Nobody was home!" "I remember when I swallowed a bottle of sleeping pills. My doctor told me to have a few drinks and get some rest." "My psychiatrist told me I'm going crazy. I told him...If you don't mind I'd like a second opinion...he said... Alright...you're ugly too!" -------------------------------------------------- Here are two more recipes from the book What Grandma Used to Cook (available from amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com, or from the publisher at http://www.infonetpublishing.com ) by the North American editor of the work, Herb Wetenkamp Guten Appetit! -------------------------------------------------- Thursday Traditional German Dinner Gaisburger Marsch (Brisket of Beef Soup/Stew) Ingredients: 1 lb. brisket of beef 1 lb. soup (stewing) bones 5 oz celery 1 small root of parsley 1-2 leeks 1/2 onion 1 bay leaf 3 cloves Peppercorns Salt 1/2 lb. potatoes 1-2 oz butter or margarine 3 onions 6-8 oz.cooked egg noodles Instructions: Place meat and bones in a saucepan and cover with water.
