"But when he tells someone else the same joke, he laughs like crazy," she went on, grimacing and slamming her fist into her hand."Holly, if it would make you feel better, I'm laughing and you don't even have to bother telling me the joke!"

Grandmother never trusted such things as banks with her money. Someone once told my grandmother, "If you would put your money in the bank, they would pay you interest."
With a confused look on her face she responded, "I have enough interest in my money, nobody else needs to bother about it." That was that!

| Written by Kasey Butcher | | Friday, January 27 2012 | | A few months ago, The Onion ran a headline declaring, "Court Rules Meryl Streep Unable to Be Tried By Jury As She Has No Peers." In The Iron Lady, Streep delivered yet another incredible performance in what I thought was a compelling, artfully made biopic of Margaret Thatcher. Peerless seems about right.
The Iron Lady opens on Margaret Thatcher running to the corner store to buy butter and having breakfast with her husband, Denis (Jim Broadbent). The catch is that Denis has been dead for years ... Read more... |
