PP RAY’S RAMBLINGS:
A guy goes into a bar and orders 6 double vodkas so the bartender inquires why so many and the man replies “I just found out my brother is gay.” The next day same guy comes in and makes the same order and the bartender again asks why and the guy replies “I just found out my other brother is gay also”. Next day, same order and the bartender asks “Doesn’t anyone in your family like women?” to which the guy replies “Yes, my wife!”.
HAPPY DOLLARS:
Bob “the Hatchet Man” Acker took up the basket and searched the room for money.

Bob Groff $5 Happy to be here today
Phil S $20 had a great time on the Caribbean trip but because Prez Chris mandated that PP Phil and his girlfriend have 2 separate rooms it cost him more than he expected.
