Buy a Cake; Build a Wall

From our Humor Department:

Since first Obama and now Trump have taken to describe themselves in the most extravagant terms, everyone seems to be following their example. The other day I went to a birthday party.

“This is the greatest cake in the history of baking!” the guests exclaimed. “How did you manage this magnificent creation?” I asked. The host beamed, saying, “From the Walmart’s deli. They pump out a dozen of these a day.”

The phone rang. It was the state Bakery Association. They were awarding the cake of the year to this cake. I enquired after this extraordinary award.

It wasn’t. Extraordinary that is.

Obama was elected President and immediately got a Nobel Peace Prize. Buy a cake; get a prize. Get out of bed in the morning; get a prize.

Look around your yard. What happens to you if you want to build a wall on it?
