Good morning Phoenix family and friends! We made it to Friday – Woo Hoo! That means it is time for the Friday Funnies:

People get really upset when you use the "F" word. So much so, that I can't even write the full word out, but have to refer to it as the "F" word. However, despite what many educators, and pious people believe, there are times when the "F" word just makes sense. And that is why we are bringing you ... TIMES WHEN THE "F" WORD WAS APPROPRIATE:

• "What the F was that?" -- Mayor of Hiroshima
• "Where did all these F'ing Indians come from?" -- General Custer"
• “Any F'ing idiot could understand that." -- Albert Einstein
• "It does so F'ing look like her!" -- Pablo Picasso
• "How the F did you work that out?" – Pythagoras
• "You want WHAT on the F'ing ceiling?" – Michaelangelo
• "I don't suppose it’s gonna F'ing rain?" -- Joan of Arc
• "Scattered F'ing showers my ass." – Noah
• "I need this parade like I need a F'ing hole in my head." -- John F. Kennedy
• "Who the F is going to know?” -- Bill Clinton
Disclaimer: I apologize in advance if I offend anyone!

Have a fangtastic day my friends!

Good morning Phoenix! It’s time for another Throwback Thursday!

On this date in:
• 1928: After the devastation of the latest hurricane on Puerto Rico leaving over 1000 dead famine is now a major problem with over 300,000 suffering from severe hunger due to the destruction of local crops by the hurricane and because of low defenses due to malnutrition disease is spreading quickly. Over half of the Islands population are now thought to be homeless and martial law is in place to stop looting, and allow the government to requisition food and to ration.
• 1933 : New figures published for the New York area show the current average weekly wages for a number of employment types:
1) Physician $55.32 per week
2) Engineer $40.68 per week
3) Clerks $22.15 per week
4) Salesman $25.020 per week
5) Laborer $20.00 per week
6) Typists $15.09 per week
• 1944: Thousands of allied troops parachute behind enemy lines in Holland at the beginning of the largest airborne invasion ever undertaken with over 1,000 aircraft involved and tens of thousands of paratroopers. The invasion by included the First Airborne Allied Army included British, US and Polish airborne troops.
• 1966: FBI Agents today arrested 13 white men in Grenada, Mississippi on charges of savage attacks on young Negro school children using sticks, fists and a club on the children earlier this week, the National Guard was also encamped in this city where racial tensions are running high on both sides.
• 1975: Inflation is running at 26% in Great Britain (current US inflation is 9.2%) and the only thing certain is that times will become harder as the number of people out of work increases and the government setting a ceiling on pay rises of an annual increase of 12 pound per year, with many increases on prices still to come life will become much harder for the British worker. British governments have allowed the spiral to go out of control so now the medicine to fix the problem is much harder to take especially when it comes from a labour government which is funded by trade union donations, but unless inflation is fixed quickly British goods will become even more uncompetitive than they are currently.
• 1976: NASA publicly unveils its first space shuttle, the Enterprise.

Enjoy, and have a fangtastic day!
