Elvis Blog – Post #70 – Diet & Downtown

DATELINE: Amelia Island (near Jacksonville, Florida)
Remembering October 2012

ELVIS QUOTE:
“There was some article that came out where I got the jumping around from my religion. Well, my religion has nothing to do with what I do now. Because the type of stuff I do now is not religious music and my religious background has nothing to do with the way I sing.”

ELVIS TRIVIA:
What reading material did Elvis collect and trade as a kid?

ELVIS HISTORY:
June 1955
Elvis performed in Bruce, Mississippi on the CHERRY SODA CIRCUIT. So called because the audiences in the 1940s were so poor and the musicians so desperate that they paid for tickets in bottle caps which the colonel turned in to bottling companies for about 3 dollars a day.

AMELIA ISLAND, FLORIDA:
October 2012
Today is DIET and exercise day. Life if not worth living and I have done nothing but binge watch Downton Abbey and thought about what a spoiled you-know-what- Lady Mary is. She’s skinny, too.

JOKE OF THE DAY:
Two lawyers, Jack and Chuck, head out for their usual 9 holes of golf.
Jon: “Let’s bet $50.”
After the 8th hole, Chuck is ahead by one stroke, but cuts his ball into the rough on the 9th.
Chuck: “Help me find my ball. Look over there.”
After a few minutes, neither have any luck and a lost ball carries a two-stroke penalty, so Chuck pulls a ball from his pocket and tosses it to the ground.
Chuck: “I’ve found my ball!”
Jon: “After all of the years we’ve been partners and playing together, you’d cheat me out of a lousy 50 dollars?” Chuck: “What do you mean, cheat? I found my ball sitting right there!”
Jon: “And a cheater and a liar, as well! I’ve been standing on your ball for the last five minutes!”
