Popcorn at the Movies

Popcorn was not a popular snack food until early public movie exhibitions in the late 19th century. Oddly enough many other snacks were tried before the corn lobby forced the Motion Picture Association of America to use popcorn in the 1920's. Early movie theater offerings included meatballs, ham salad sandwiches, sardines, deviled eggs and spaetzle.

A List of People I Can Do Without - Baseball Edition

I am a big George Carlin fan. As an homage to his greatness, here is a list of people I can do without:

People at Yankees games who wear Red Sox hats when the Yankees aren't even playing a team from the American League East- Seriously? I can understand when the Yankees are playing the sox or maybe even the Orioles. If you are wearing a Red Sox hat when the Yankees are playing the Houston Astros you are just a jerk who needs something better to do with their time.

Men who push women and children out of the way to catch a ball in the stands - Sir, you disgust me.

Grown men who bring baseball gloves to baseball games - If you are over the age of 12, you are no longer allowed to wear a glove at a baseball game.

Concession guys dancing and trying to get on the jumbo-tron instead of selling people cotton candy- I have seen morons dancing before. I have never eaten 4 servings of cotton candy at a game before. Do not prevent the inevitable from happening.

Dogs Prefer to Eat on Carpet

Dogs prefer eating on carpet because it reminds them of grass and makes them more comfortable.

Swimwear Fashion in the Northeast is 4 Season's Behind the West Coast

Because it is only warm for 1 season a year in the northeast, swimwear fashion is 4 seasons behind swimwear fashion on the west coast. Bathing suits last 4 times as long.

Ray's Pizza

All of the Ray's Pizza shops in New York are from the same family. It is a turbulent story, but basically, the owner of Famous Original Ray's is the Cousin of Ray Bari, who is the uncle of Ray's Famous.

Lip Balm

Lip balm is the most addictive consumer package good available with no age restriction. Upon using lip balm for the first time, you are forced to use it for the rest of your life to avoid chapped lips.

Average Lipstick Consumption

The average woman consumes 23 tubes of lipstick in her lifetime.

Cheaper Gas is Worse For Your Car

BP is the best gas you can buy. It is the most expensive and it is British. Exxon/Mobil is the second best because it is also expensive. Sunoco, Getty and Gulf are third tier. Not only are the not as expensive, their gas comes from Venezuela. Hess is tier 4; it is the least expensive major gas chain. Gas stations most people have never heard of, like Shamrock, in southern Jersey are really bad. Julio Caesar Chavez owns that chain personally and it is very cheap, he must mix water and sand with the gas.

Larger Raindrops

Larger raindrops make for a shorter rain storm.

I Enjoy Bathroom Attendants

Brilliant Idea I just thought of

Why has no one ever combined matches and incense sticks. You could tip the incense with flint and put sandpaper on the box that they incense comes in. Instead of using fire to light the incense, you would just strike it on the box and then blow it out.

Special K and Rice Krispies

Special K is the flake version of Rice Krispies. They are made from the same recipe.

Grow Taste Buds as you Get Older

When you are a young child, sweet foods taste milder because as you age, you develop more taste buds. The older you are, the more sensitive you are to flavors. The phrase "an acquired taste" comes from the growth of new taste buds.

Can't Come Back Into the Stadium

Here are a couple of reasons why you cannot leave an event and re-enter with the same ticket:

- Venues want to reduce staff after the beginning of the game. Rechecking everyone for contraband would require more staff

- Venues want to prevent people leaving an event and passing their tickets on to people who did not pay to enter an event

- Venues want to prevent people from leaving the event and finding hard alcoholic beverages in their cars, consuming said beverages and re-entering and thus causing trouble.
