Bob Ross

Do you know who Bob Ross is? Of course you do.

No? Need a hint? Okay, he's the guy who would say "I feel a happy little cloud coming on, don't you?" and then paint an entire landscape using a couple of spatulas in about thirty minutes. He's a PBS icon, and he's got his own web site.

What made me laugh today...

A man was terribly overweight, so his doctor put him on a diet: "I want you to eat regularly for two days, then skip a day, and repeat this for two weeks. The next time I see you, you should have lost at least five pounds."

When the man returned, the doctor discovered that the man had lost 25 pounds. "I can't believe it!" exclaimed the doctor. "You lost 25 pounds by following my instructions?"

"Yes, exactly as you instructed me. But on the third day I thought I was going to drop dead!"

"Were you very hungry?"

"No, from the skipping!"
