It’s Friday… and the 2nd to last day of the year. 2011 — another tough year economically for Detroiters and people across the country. But there were some positives! Here’s a small sample…
-Athletically speaking, the Tigers made the play-offs with Justin Verlander winning the MVP and Cy Young Awards, the Lions made the play-offs for the first time in 12 years, the Pistons got a new owner, the Red Wings are always a winning team, and Michigan and Michigan State both had excellent years on the field!
-Kwame continues to make his restitution payments… something he’ll be doing for the next 200 years!
-Big Al lost 10 pounds… and then gained 13!
-Osama Bin Laden, Mohammar Gadhafi, Hasni Mubarek and Kim Jong Il have all gone away - one way or another!
-Paris Hilton and Britney Spears made it an entire year WEARING underwear.
-Pippa Middleton may or may not have been wearing underwear in that Bridesmaid dress, but she certainly showed off a “Royal Behind”. BTW… Her sister Kate seems perfectly grounded, while Pippa seems perfectly rounded!
-Anthony Weiner resigned after first denying and then admitting that, in the infamous tweets, he was indeed the owner of the “Little Weiner”.
-Arnold Schwarzenegger got an extra Father’s Day gift!
-And “The Best Of Dick Purtan & Purtan’s People - Vol. 10” CD came out and has sold so well there are only a handful of copies left. To get yours, just click on the blue CD ad on this page. Proceeds benefit two Michigan Military charites!
And now on with today’s audio entertainment - a couple of cuts from two of my previous “Best Ofs”… one featuring our friend Doc Andrews and myself in a Put-On call involving both of us trying to get jobs as a legal secretary, and the other a classic joke from Soupy Sales that he told on my show.
I hope you enjoy the two cuts and we’ll see you back here tomorrow - THE LAST DAY OF 2011!
-Dick
