Are Vern and Fudge Billionaires?

[Jeanne, Tura and Dolly]

I was reading an article about a couple in Texas yesterday who are worth 4 Billion dollars and are looking for ways to give it away.  They were currently interested in a nutritional study on how we lose weight yaada yaada really I stop reading too closely after I noticed their names....John and Laura (sic) Arnold. Some of you ( really, only some of you?) may be following the adventures of Fudge and Vern and most particularly their mom, Laurie  (and DH John) who is obviously an alias for this Texas couple who, in the picture,  are surprisingly young looking, not tall or wearing orange bikinis. And most shocking of all, there was no mention whatsoever of dogs in this article.  So I'm not sure if Laurie (Laura) lives in PA or TX but if she wants to help me lose weight, I'm OK with that.

Well, I just checked my list of funds to distribute....F and Doris were next and just got crossed off my list :)

Doris, OMD....I cannot believe you think John is smarter than me :) I taught him everything he knows :)

[F, Calla & Luca]

Oh no Doris, I may be in the doghouse but you are in the outhouse for sure.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

F, Nice try, F, but no cigar :) Billionaires like friends who suck up about their looks, their shapely figures, and orange bikini pictures!

[Doris, Knox & Flash]

The part about "she's the talker, he's the listener"  nearly had me, but then I read the part about Laura (Laurie) being the smarter one of the two.  I have met "our" John and I knew then that the article's author was describing a different couple.    No offense, Laurie!!!

[F, Calla & Luca]

Laurie, billionaires are people with a great senses of humor, who don't mind being teased and who routinely lie about their ages. They are so busy counting their money they sometimes forget the aforesaid things.

Jeanne, If only I was married to this John, I would be able to fly to Mexico and fly back with the giant frog, Doris and I saw in Intercourse :) I would love to give away billions, but I would just pick out people I liked!  (F, after that looks comment, you have been crossed off my list....Doris, you are hovering with the enuf said remark)  Bonnie, I like how you think :) Jane, I had the check already made out to your name...LOL! Deanna, Next cruise, I expect a little more oohing and aahing! Thanks for the laugh, Jeanne!

[Doris, Knox & Flash]

Doesn't the article say the couple is approaching 40?? Enuf said.

[Bonnie and Kona]

I have just figured out how to get some of that grant money. I bet if we can figure out how to get Vern clean after rolling in the yard and get him sleeping through the night we have got it made!!! Let's put our thinking caps on jenius people!

[F, Calla & Luca]

Truly Jane, if that was the plan no one told me and although the gifts were nice a cool 100 million or so would have been nicer. And Laurie obviously hides a lot of looks not only her bikini body.
