....today, a travel cohort from a few years back, complained to me of the $12 glass of OJ he kindly bought for me during breakfast at the Pan Pacific Hotel, years ago.

I thought about it, and thought of the people always telling me – ‘cheer up it could always be worse’.

SO I thought for a few more moments, about other places I often buy Orange Juice, or similar stuff – we’ll call, for now - “OJ”

Government OJ – it would’a been $2,382 per glass

Canadian Cancer Society OJ – would’a been only $8 but there’d be a $48. add-on marketing fee.

Air Canada OJ – $3 plus a $32 add-on for surcharges, plus $11 for the glass itself.

Ontario Hydro OJ – $32 but with a $26 “delivery” fee, plus an $8 upgrade fee, and $11 late payment fee – even if you’re not late.

Sick Kids Hospital OJ – $1.50 but with a $12,600 Super-fund fee for when they terminate senior marketing goofs.

Ontario e-Health OJ...let’s not even go there...nobody including Mr Buffet could afford theirs.

....and you complain about 12 lousy bucks for OJ at Pan Pacific??

Greece stay healthy, please.
Iceland please don’t melt.
May Portugal avoid the mess.
Spain, please stay in the plain – level and unsinkable.
And oh – please please please Mr. Euro don’t tank...seems the US Dollar depends on you.
And just like the Chip Bowl at a party – we don’t want no ‘double dips’.

Happy Summer. And to all a “good night”.

Now I feel better. So much better. 
