Charity Schmarity Part Deux

Dear Tinkerbell,

Since the whole saving-drunk-elephants idea went out the window, I had my PR rep look into some other charitable options which would not require me to put myself anywhere near the dirty or poverty-stricken. She suggested that I join up with Mel Brooks' new non-profit organization and I think it's a fab idea!

He started a new organization called Schmucks for Schmuck and said the following during his rally in New York last week:

"For many of us, saying 'schmuck' is a way of life. Yet when I walk down the street and see people behaving in foolish, pathetic, or otherwise schmucky ways, I hear only the words 'prick' and 'douche bag.' I just shake my head and think, 'I don't want to live in a world like this.'"


I don't technically know what that word means but, from the sounds of it, I bet it means something bitchy and sort of dirty. Totally something I can get behind, ya know? Anyway, according to Mel, "schmuck" has been on the decline since it peaked in 1951. There are too many endangered species in our world and we just cannot afford to lose another to extinction!!

Tink! With you as my witness, I solemnly swear to find out what this word means and then to fight for it's survival! Unless, of course, it means I have to travel to an impoverished country or be around the poor, dirty or common.

For those with PhotoCrank.

For the haters that don't.

Let's plan on hitting the 5K Schlep for Schmuck Awareness after cocktails at Les Duex...
