Rub him well with garlic and sage, maybe some crushed peppers.  Roast at
350 degrees at 20 minutes per pound until the skin is crispy.  Serve with
bernaise sauce.

    Drop by an elderly care facility and pick up an application (and play
    a game of cards with someone while you're there).
    
    Prune juice.
    
150.4 At 40, Bring out the animal!MR4DEC::RONDINAMon Jan 09 1995 11:5916
    I recently hosted a 40th for a friend, and sought some gag things. At
    any good party store I found the usual black party goods, but while
    trying to find the right gag gift, I happened into the hunting section
    of WAL-MART.  Since my friend was bemoaning his new age and the
    acompanying decline in virility, I bought him a few hunting gifts,
    wrapped them in a Wilderness Survival Game box, with a note attached
    that read "To sustain the animal in you". In the box was a male buck
    grunt call and a bottle of Dominant Male Buck Urine.  My wife didn't
    think much of it, when she saw it, but when Jim opened the box he and 
    the rest of the party had a laughing fit. Definitely a hit!!!!!!!!

    PS  He said he uses the urine to repel the local Rotweiller from
    dumping on his lawn.  It works.

My wife just had a surprise party for my 40th.  A 'friend'
gave me a package of Depends.  It was good for some laughs.
