According to published reports, more than 130 million households will be receiving their share of over 168 billion dollar economic stimulus plan this year.

How most people spend their money is being debated by the economist, but the targeted recipients historically will not use all of the funds to pay off debt, but instead will use it to purchase more goods and services.

I have this bet going with my wife this spring. She has been on and off the weight watchers plan more times in the last few years the Britney, Lindsay and Paris have showed their vajayjay. It is really a win win if you ask me, but thankfully she never reads my blog, and we won’t tell her that I think her thinner makes me a winner too… will we!

The bet is that if she loses another 10 pounds and I lose 15 pounds before June, we are going to take a little trip away from the kids. I tried to think romantic so I told her I was thinking about renting a room for a few days at a nice hotel somewhere between Dilworth and the Twin Cities. Her response to me was that if I did that we could “Go all the way!” I guess that means she wants me to drive to the cities. [rimshot here]

Ok, so a few weeks ago, a co-worker sent me a link to www.instantrimshot.com and I had a blast with it at work. We would use to end about every other sentence to make it funny. As we became more desperate to find something to use the rim shot for, we came up with some extremely LAME punch lines.

So with the help of my co-workers I was able to find that “wah wah waaah” sound and found that it is referred to as the “sad trombone”. Wanting to share all of this with the world I went and purchased the domain name www.sadtrombone.com and posted the sound. It is a great partner for the rim shot.

You be the judge!
