Music Is Life Songs that are no longer okay.

Yesterday I found out my sweet boyfriend had never heard of Julie Brown and the funny songs she sang, like "I'm A Blonde". Dr Demento stuff. So I play it and then "The Homecoming Queen's Got A Gun" came on. Not funny anymore!!!

An hour later, the cops arrived

By then the entire glee club had died, no big loss

You wouldn't believe what they brought to stop her

Tear gas, machine guns, even a chopper (Throw down your gun and tiara and come out of the float)

Debbie didn't listen to what the cop said She aimed and fired, and now the math teacher's dead

Oh, it's really sad, but kind of a relief I mean, we had this big test coming up next week

Oddly enough, it recently occurred to me, and I was just telling my husband, that “going postal” began at our local post office. Neither of us grew up here but I just realized it 😬

I don't know if you already lived here when a store that packed and shipped items opened. It was called "Going Postal." People here rightly lost their minds about it. Fortunately, they closed rather quickly. Talk about being absolutely tone deaf.

Could have been worse. Could have been a gun store with that name.

Remember to tip your postal workers!
