Be sure to take advantage of the opportunities candidates provide as they look for your vote in the upcoming elections.

Your participation is important and is needed to counteract the opposition.

For example, according to Growler magazine, the [grass roots organization] Minnesota Beer Activists is looking to have off-premise alcohol sales legalized on Sunday.

The magazine continues, "Consumers are tired of driving across the border for their beer on Sundays, and with the way our sports teams have been playing, we're giving a lot of money to Wisconsin."

If you need talking points on Sunday Sales or any other issue, please contact the MMBA office.

A young woman named Suzy is sitting at the bar talking with her girlfriends about what makes the perfect mate.

"The man I marry," she says, "must be a shining light. He must be musical, tell jokes, sing and stay at home at night!"

Flo, the elderly barmaid, overhears this and says, "Honey, it sounds like you don't need a man. You need a TV!"
