holiday fiascos.....care to share I have none, but I do love David Sedaris' take on this.

eh? Context?

this.......

oh dear My fiascos would be downers. So instead I'll post a completely unrelated joke I got today. ********* *One sunny day in 2009 an old man approached the White House.* He walked up to the Marine standing guard and said, 'I'd like to go in and meet with President Bush.' The Marine looked at the man and said, 'Sir, Mr. Bush is no longer president and no longer resides here.' The old man said 'Okay' and walked away. The following day the same man approached the White House and said to the same Marine 'I'd like to go in and meet with President Bush.' The Marine told the man, 'Sir, as I said yesterday, Mr. Bush is no longer president and no longer resides here.' The man thanked him and walked away. The third day, the old man approached the same Marine and said 'I'd like to go in and meet with President Bush.' The Marine looked at the man and said, 'Sir, this is the third day in a row that you've been here asking to speak to Mr. Bush. I've told you every time that Mr. Bush is no longer the president and that he no longer resides here. Don't you understand?' The old man looked at the Marine and said, 'Oh, I understand. I just love hearing it.' The Marine snapped to attention, saluted the old man, and said, 'See you tomorrow, sir.'

I will recycle last year's response since I can't remember a worse one:

just as funny this year. Little green tennis balls to heaven! Ha!

can only think of one last month when I had to drive from Lewisburg WV to Roanoke VA because that was the nearest place I could change travellers cheques. I shan't bother with them again.
