Happy Birthday F. Scott Fitzgerald Happy Birthday F. Scott Fitzgerald

NPG.72.107 “Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald was an American fiction writer, whose works illustrate the Jazz Age. While he achieved limited success in his lifetime, he is now widely regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century. Fitzgerald is considered a member of the "Lost Generation" of the 1920s.” Wikipedia

“So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”

“The loneliest moment in someone’s life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly.”

“And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.”

“Here's to alcohol, the rose colored glasses of life.”

“First you take a drink, then the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes you.”

Maybe F. Scott Fitzgerald drank a little to much::

A really drunk guy walked out of a bar stumbling back and forth with car keys in his hand. A  nearby cop saw this and said,

“Hello Sir, Can I help you ?”

“Yesssh! Ssomebodyyy sstole my carr”, the man replied.

The cop inquired, “Where did you see you car last time?”

Drunk : “It was on the end of this key”.

At the same time the cop looked down and saw the man’s wiener carelessly hanging out of his fly. So he asked the man, “Excuse me Sir, Are you aware that you are currently exposing yourself?”

Confused for a moment, the drunk looked down at his crotch and without wasting a second, blurted out….

“Holy shit! What the hell… My girlfriend’s gone too !!”

Great story, Joe. You really should get paid for the plugs you give to the many places you visit.
