Mother's Day — Grover's Mother — ribbing him
She's gone now but am glad I have fond memories of her, my mother Edna. She made me laugh, mostly at my own expense.

Dull Man’s Guide to New York — Grid System for Streets
We’re starting a series of tips for surviving in exciting places. Dull men are not always able to avoid traveling to exciting places. The trips might be for work, or for family reasons—weddings, birthdays, funerals—or dragged there by the wife.
We’re starting with New York. What officially is New York, New York. Also known as Manhattan, its Indian name.
Secret Life of Plankton
Dear DMC, I rarely visit YouTube (too much adverse energy) but I found this video quite educational and illuminating, in a subdued sort of way.

Groaners from New Recruits
Dear DMC, I'm writing to you from my office at appliancesonline.co.uk where I'm sitting with some of the Dull Men [but don't tell them called them that] I work with. We’ve just spent fifteen minutes having a good laugh at your website [exclamation mark removed]
One of our training tasks for new recruits is for them to come up with jokes. Here are some of our favourites, hope you like them:

An Englishman, Irishman and a Scotsman all walk into a bar.
The barman says, “What is this? Some kind of joke?”
Lodge Grill Press, action shots
Dear DMC, one of the birthday presents I received was a Lodge Grill Press. I used it yesterday. It was most enjoyable to watch. And to enjoy eating the bacon that was flattened, duller that way than when it's curly.

Abbott and Costello Enter the Computer Age
I received this in an email this morning. I finally stopped laughing enough to forward it to dullmensclub.com.
Like many dull men, I spend time in computer stores, probably more than I should. I overhear inane conversations about computers. But none as funny as Abbott and Costello’s:
[Warning to dull men: this contains exclamation points.]
ABBOTT: Welcome to the Computer Store. Can I help you?
COSTELLO: Thanks I'm setting up an office in my house and I'm thinking about buying a computer.
ABBOTT: Mac?
COSTELLO: No, the name's Lou.
View from hotel room—Shotgun Willie's or car wash?
Monday night I checked into a Holiday Inn in Denver. I had a choice of rooms: looking east across Colorado Boulevard at Shotgun Willies [strip tease] or south down at the Waterway Car Wash.

The New Zealand Herald reports on us
NZ Herald travel wroter Jim Eagles, stuck at an airport, killed time by reading our website.
Mind you, he did this during an eight-hour layover at Charles de Gaulle Airpot in Paris. There would have been enough time to visit Paris. But instead he read our website. There's little doubt — he's one of us.
