Yet no matter how white it may be, it is highly unlikely that these brides imagine walking down the aisle wr apped in toilet paper. Some may reconsider, though, if their TP gown looked something like New Jersey artist Susan Masarek's creations. For the past five years, Masarek has competed in the Toilet Paper Wedding Dress Contest – with each year's design landin g her among the Top 10 finalists. Masarek explains the purpose of the competition, stating "I don't think anybody is trying to say you should make your wedding dress out of toilet paper, but it's a nice way of saying I think we can bring that cost down i n some ways." To make the gown, she combined "rolls of Quilted Northern toilet paper, white duct tape, glue, and needle and thread." The top 10 designs will go head to head on July 20 in a fashion show in New York City. The winner will receive $10,000, wh ile second place will receive $5,000 and third will take home $2,500. Both Cheap - Chic - Weddings.com and Quilted Northern are sponsoring the competition this year, and are thrilled that the designs "[continue] to impress and exceed expectations."

The waiter says, "Sir, I'm very sorry, but we don't allow dogs in here." The guy replies , "But this isn't just any dog ... this dog can play the piano!" The waiter responds, "Well, if he can play that piano, you both can stay and have a meal on the house!" So the guy sits the dog on the piano stool, and the dog starts playing. Ragtime, Moza rt ... and the waiter and patrons are enjoying the music. Suddenly a bigger dog runs in, grabs the small dog by the scruff of the neck, and drags him out. The waiter asks the guy, "What was that all about?" The guy says, "Oh, that was his mother. She wan ted him to be a doctor."
