Ode to Oktoberfest?
In the real world,
Oktoberfest was cancelled because of Covid.
.
Here on planet Last Kiss, however, I’m carrying on with a mini-Oktoberfest salute so that we can all share a digital drink together.
.
We conclude Monday with a monstrously funny gag from
Tony Isabella that fits the Oktoberfest theme perfectly and also launches us into the Halloween season. Cheers!

I’m not fat today!
It’s true…
my waistband bulges.
And my skirt strains…
’til buttons fly!
But why?
I blame my clothes! No matter how many martinis I drink, they shrink!
Tomorrow: I will be thin…
Like a movie star! And people will sing,
“See her sexy hips! Watch ‘em swing!”
Next week: Fans praise my beauty!
Next month: I lose another pound!
And billboards show my booty!
Next year: I lose more!
And then—oh no!
I disappear completely!
Therefore…
I’m not fat that day!
Or any day!
So get outta my way!
I’m eating cheesecake–all day!
