Headlines; Toilet Stuff; Hot Pants; Senior Joke; How Long to Keep Kitchen Stuff; Negative Buttoneering

It's getting cooler.. more like Autumn is supposed to be.  However, on Friday next it is supposed to be 70+ degrees again... is that Indian Summer?

Here is some things that I learned from Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me last Saturday:

Political Headline in some Newspaper

Trump Beats Woman

Headline in Littlestown, Connecticut: 

Toilet Paper to Fill Cracks

Yes, the Littlestown City Council has made a deal with a company that will fill cracks in the asphalt roads with toilet paper.  Apparently it makes a good binder.

Of course, they will have to bypass the skid marks.

New Creation for the Moneyed Class

Someone has developed mulled wine scented toilet paper.

Liar, Liar, pants on Fire

According to the New York Times, while Steve Bannon was putting Trump speech notes into a copy machine, he backed into a hot light fixture and set his pants on fire.  (Serves his ass right!)


Senior Joke

Two senior shoppers parked at the mall, got out of their car, and realized the had locked it with the keys inside.
"We'll have to break a window to get them out," said one to the other.
"No," the other replied.  "Maybe we can get a wire hanger and use it to unlock the door."
"That never works."
"Well, we'd better think of something.  It's starting to rain, and the top is down!"

More Household Tips

How long should I keep it?  Well, here is the answer.

Ketchup: 4 to 6 months in the refrigerator.

Jelly:  1 year in the refrigerator.

Mustard:  6 to 8 months in the refrigerator.

(I've had some there for years.!)

Peanut butter: 2 to 3 months

Mayonnaise:  2 months in the refrigerator

Vegetable oil: 3 months in the pantry.   6 months in the refrigerator

Olive oil:  12 to 18 months.

Vinegar: 6 months.

Negative Buttoneering

The Hightower Lowdown reports mentions a negative button that was prevalent during the recent presidential campaign:  TRUMP ES UN PENDEJO.

"Pendejo" is a noun widely used in Mexican-American communities as a laughing put-down of someone who is full of themselves.. this could be a snotty-nosed kid or a pretentious, silly person, or a contemptible jerk.
