  Times are hard: A book publisher went into Chapter 11. A clock company wound down. A window manufacturer was shuttered. An earthquake forecaster fell into default. A butcher shop couldn't make ends meat. A clock maker said his time had come. A bathtub store had to pull the plug.

 

 

  Some farmers want a government bailout. They want money for nothing and their chickens for free, they are in dire straits. Someone broke into Fred's limbo store and stole everything. His business is going under. Flu is going around in a local boarding house... ...if you believe the roomers. Fred says that he has a Japanese friend. But it's just his imagine Asian.

 

 

  My foot fell asleep this morning. Guess you could say I was coma-toes. Fred is going out on halloween carrying a hot dog and a beer mug. He'll be Frank and Stein. Fred asked his wife to stop shaking the orange juice before she pours it, but she keeps doing it. He says that it's so damn agitating. Fred's wife decided to try a home birth, unfortunately there were a lot of complications... She had a midwife crisis.
