Here's a great work for ya to use - I use it all the time when I get pooperated by work:

POOPERATED

Hope you get to use it on the show, 'cause I know how exhausted one can get with having to smile and be funny all day long, especially sometimes when you don't feel like being smiley & happy!

a buff ey? My grandma always used to say Fluff or Fluffed reminds me of that a little

I taught my grand daughters to say "buff" instead of "fart" A boy can fart, but a girl buffs. I think you can guess how pleased my daughter was to hear this life lesson. She nearly killed me.

Okay,

Have you guys heard of a Walex?

It is any exit where a Walmart exists.

I will take Walex 334 so I can buy some groceries.

There was alot of congestion at Walex 112 because of frustrated Christmas shoppers.
