    FIMM cracks me up. I like when he tried to sell his desk to a woman with large drawers. We can learn to watch what we say and to proofread and edit before submitting ads to the paper, haha.

    Never to speak while your foot’s plastered in your mouth, that’s not where your “soul” should be! FIMM is a little in left field sometimes. lol He was raised a Christian, and seems to try to be a nice person, but doesn’t seem to be able to get his ideas across very well! His wife’s a “good egg” and he assumed that JoJo wouldn’t mind being called Jo. He has a lot to learn about testifying about his faith.

    FIMM was born Franklyn Ignacious McMillner Possible on a bloggy September day in the year of our Lord 1952.

    Communication misadventures starring FIMM at his finest with both feet planted firmly in his mouth! Too many episodes to have links for all of them:-)

    FIMM is the Art of Eloquence mascot and resident MIScommunicator: A loveable but bumbling communicator, FIMM stumbles his way through life
    But as God often does, He uses FIMM’s unfortunate and complete lack of effective communication skills in order to entertain and educate the rest of us.

    FIMM was born Franklyn Ignacious McMillner Possible in September of 1952. Instead of sucking his thumb, he preferred his foot.
    Also He doesn’t use spell checker, nor can he tell 2 of his quadruplets apart.
