Seriously, I had an opportunity last year when I brought home an Easter Basket given to me by someone (I think maybe a copy guy) and the husband ate the peeps before I could get to them.

Job Opening

And they just got a raise.

Malaysia's 50 executioners and floggers are to get a pay rise.

Specially selected prison staff will see their bonuses for each stroke they inflict rise by over 300%.

Hangmen will get a 60% rise to reflect the difficult nature of their job - receiving 500 ringgit ($131) instead of the current 300 ringgit.

Previously, officers only received only three ringgit ($0.80) for each blow they struck using a rotan, a heavy bamboo rod.

But now they will get 10 ringgit ($2.60).

Executioners will also enjoy a pay rise in a country which has hanged some 358 people over the last 24 years.

According to the prison service, few officers applied to be executioners and the country is experiencing a shortage.

However, flogging jobs are hotly contested, with only one in five applicants being accepted.

The service says only *hardened* staff are suitable.

Since it is the season of blood and bunnies, did your husband follow the correct proedure for separating the peeps?

It does not look to me like the 5th peep really survived. The one trussed up with no gauze. They could at least lay some gauze over its dead peep eyes.

Hank, you're the best. You'd be better than the best if you had an Easter bonnet instead of the Santa hat.

Or maybe a Jesus Hank that rises from the dead on Sunday?

Rock and Blues cliches

Check with Free Terri!, Hank. Em's iconography library probably rivals those of the stock photo houses.

I was in a bar last night getting some dinner and I saw your good twin. I did a genuine spit take. Fortunately, I had finished my martini and it was just with a glass of wine.
