2010 Hartford Festival of Light Continues My last stop this evening was at Bushnell Towers, a condominium complex across from Bushnell Park.

A blonde was recently fired from an M&M factory for throwing away the Ws. Therefore, she needed a new job to support herself. After going around town asking if anyone needed work done, she found a man who needed a painter."I'm here for the paint job," she said."Alright," said the man. "Here is the paint and your brush.

Within an hour, she was done and decided to put on a second coating.After she finished, she returned to the man for her pay. She said with satisfaction, "I not only completed the job, but I even put on two coats of paint! By the way, that isn't a porsche out back.
