  1. There are some really good ones here. Love # 6 down from 2012. He should have had a chef’s hat on though, I think. Still, nothing like fresh air (assuming the smoke smelled good)? Burning eyes though, is another matter.

    The first 4 are pretty degrading in different ways, and likely based on fact. They have to be. Such ungrateful, demanding people! At least there was no erroneous assumption of a lost wedding ring getting mixed in cement used to build a beautiful brick backyard barbecue, only to have it all taken apart and put back together, sort of, for nothing. “Ay, yi yi!”
