The Clintons' Massage Therapist

AOL isn't listening. What else is new? Now they want to put a disclaimer up on our banners. "The writer of this journal thinks these ads suck." Or something like that. As if that will make us like the ads better. Don't they know you can't put lipstick on this pig?   

Washington DC, where I'm doing the turkey thing, has as many celebrities of the political kind as LA has of the Hollywood kind.

Only in a Costco in DC would I meet the massage therapist to the Clinton White House -- at least he claimed he was -- who managed to tell me right away that he refused to have traditional anesthesia for an operation he needed, opting for an epidural so he would be awake. 

Why am I telling you this? So you can be as flabbergasted as I was. I was just looking for giant jars of Nutella when he chatted me up.  

Ultimately he chose the epidural because, he whispered, he didn't want to reveal any information he had about Monica Lewinsky while he was under a general anesthetic.  I guess the guy talks in his sleep.

I must look like I'm from out of town and would be easily impressed.

Who needs Match.com? Costco on Wednesday before Thanksgiving is the place to meet your soulmate. 

Or somebody very strange.

I thought it was "Don't wrestle with a pig, you'll both get muddy and the pig likes it."   Seriously, why would AOL want to put lipstick on a pig?  That would be as effective as putting a disclaimer on an.......Ohhhhhhhhhhh

LMAO! This was hysterical, though I totally believe it. I met the woman who used to do Hillary Clinton's make-up in a ballet class in Sarasota, Florida. She told me that Hillary has such big pockmarks and acne scars on her face that Mark Spitz could have dove right into them! She hated doing her make-up for that reason.
HAve a happy thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving, Mrs L.  

You know, in Costco, should you ever need a diversion, just point in the direction opposite, and say "Hey, they're putting out fresh samples of ham over there,"  pray he's not vegetarian, and hold onto that 500 lb cart like there's no tomorrow.
Afterall, you'll have started a stampede.  Nothing makes people nuttier than the free samples at Costco.

The one man left standing after all that: your soul mate. lol
