YO-YO'S AND FACTS

Good Monday Morning Speakies:

Welcome to the first Monday in April. I hope you were not the victims of too many April Fool’s jokes yesterday and I hope you played a few too on your buddies. In this first week of April we celebrate “Scoop the Poop” you know what that means no dog doo on your neighbor’s lawn. Here are a few more holidays we celebrate today:

FUN AT WORK DAY – If you work at a fun place double the fun today. At a not so fun place get the ball rolling and wind up your co-workers for a day of fun. You know the old saying “All work and no play makes Johnny a dull boy.”

YO-YO DAY – As many yo-yo’s I had as a kid I could never master the true art of doing much with them. The most up and downs I would make would be about five and forget the stuff like Walking the Dog, the old bounce on the ground and the thing comes back and all the rest of the fancy moves.

Now for something new Joey Z’s Facts That Are True. Just think you can impress your friends when certain subjects come up for discussion so here are some facts.

James Doohan (Scotty of Star Trek) did not have a right middle finger. He lost it during WWII.

In 2005, Advertising Age stated that Ronald McDonald as the number two top 10 advertising icons of the twentieth century. The Marlboro Man was number uno.

In the 1985 movie Day of the Dead, zombies are actually feasting on turkey legs that were barbecued to look like human flesh.

Each Christmas time there are approximately 20,000 “rent-a-Santa” across the US. They are all trained in maintaining a jolly attitude under pressure from the hum-bugs out in public, not to accept money from parents while the kids are looking and avoid eating garlic, onions or beans. All the magical toot-toot food.

The “Duke” John Wayne starred in 14 WWII movies; however due to a football injury, he never served in the war.
