Couple o' months ago I was in Twin Cities audiophilic landmark Treehouse Records lookin' to buy some music I can't really afford. While I was lookin' around I heard the clerk tell a woman who had brought in a load of CDs for trade that the store was no longer accepting CDs and would be making a conversion to a vinyl only shop. Who woulda thunk it?

I knew a girl who was so fat that when she stepped on the dance floor the whole band skipped. I have borrowed that joke from the late Rodney Dangerfield many times and it has never failed to bring a laugh, so long as the audience was at least 35 years old. Perhaps the joke will live on with vinyl making a comeback.
