They grow up so fast. Never in my life will I get as much physical affection as my son is capable of giving. He can't get enough hugs and slobbery kisses and I can't be half hearted or distracted about it. He's all for me, no one is as good as Mummy. It is lovely. My daughter at the same age was all for her Daddy but her brother had just been born then and he needed lots of attention. Now she likes Mummy more because I'll shop for clothes and do her hair and she gives big hugs too. At the moment I'm teaching her skipping. They certainly keep me active :D

now back to the "grownup" insanity....:roll: :roll:


Substitute any hair color you like. :lol: :lol:

A blind cowboy is at a bar. After sitting there for a while, he yells to the waiter, 'Hey, you want hear a blond joke?'

The bar immediately falls absolutely silent. In a very deep, husky voice, the woman next to him says, 'Before you tell that joke, Cowboy, I think it is only fair, given that you are blind, that you should know five things:

1. The bartender is a blond girl with a baseball bat.
2. The bouncer is a blond girl.
3. I'm a 6-foot tall, 175-pound blond woman with a black belt in karate.
4. The woman sitting next to me is blond and a professional weightlifter.
5. The lady to your right is blond and a professional wrestler.



'Now, seriously think about it, Mister. Do you still wanna tell that joke?'

The blind cowboy thinks for a second, shakes his head, and mutters, 'Naw....

not if I'm gonna have to explain it five times.'

Thanks! Moira found it for me. Wasn't Bette a BABE when she was young?
Hope you post some more pictures of your vacation -

Good one Nancy, I never saw that one coming! Wherever you're finding them, in your memory or online, keep 'em comin!

Bye the way, when you posted those pics of the tornado damage, how did you go about inserting the pics within the post itself? That's something I'd like to know how to do. If you'd prefer you can send the how-to in a PM rather than tie up the space here.

Thanx!

As always,

Hollis

It's nice that you can joke, hon, after all that tornado trouble. You're right, of course, Laughter is the best cure. Keep those jokes coming, I loved that one about the 5 blonds. Lucky for me, my wife's a brunette, well a grey brunette. You're lucky to have such a nice sense of humor, not caustic like mine. good for you. By the way, are you a blond? Just kidding. .... mel

Hi Mel! It is great to see you here again. How's it going with the walker? If you're anything at all like my friend, you probably forget to grab it when you take off. She is such an active person (jitterbugged until she was 82) and just had to constantly remind herself to use the dad-gummed thing. She navigates without even the use of a cane now. Your generation is just tougher than mine. I'm a baby-boomer, and my contemporaries can't keep up with you guys!

I was born blonde, got darker as I got older, and then miracle of miracles, my hair started to turn red :lol: :roll: :lol: :roll: I am now whatever Dan the Man (hairdresser) pulls off the shelf :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Glad you liked the joke about the blondes.
have a great Memorial Day
Nancy

Hi Nancy
Yes I forget the walker fairly often.
Our son is a baby boomer who has retired twice, gets bored and gets another job,
Keep those jokes coming, They're wonderful .... mel

If you were around in 1919 (just before prohibition started)
and came upon the following poster...

Seems to me, to be a good reason to keep drinking!!!

A husband and wife are on the 9th green when suddenly she
collapses from a heart attack! 'Help me dear,' she groans
to her husband.

The husband calls 911 on his cell phone, talks for a few
minutes, picks up his putter, and lines up his putt.

His wife raises her head off the green and stares at him.
'I'm dying over here and you're putting?'

'Don't worry dear,' says the husband calmly, 'they found
a doctor on the second hole and he's coming to help you.'

'Well, how long will it take for him to get here,' she asks
feebly?

'No time at all,' says her husband. 'Everybody's already
agreed to let him play through.' :shock: :shock:

My golf joke is similar.

A man returns from his round of golf and is greeted by his wife.

"How was your day?" she asked.
"Awful," he replied. "Charlie had a heart attack on the 11th hole."
"That's terrible" she replied.
He answered, "It sure was. Hit the ball, drag Charlie. Hit the ball, drag Charlie."

Chris, that punch line is one of my favorites. It became a "family" joke..whenever someone had to do something unpleasant or boring, it was,"Hit the ball, drag Charlie".

We have a phrase we use when we didn't understand some thing someone says.

A while back I was explaining to my wife about a movie. The character, I said, had "man issues." All she heard (and she knew it was wrong) was "mayonaise shoes."

"??????" I said.

That's what we say when we didn't hear something right. I figure it's funnier than "Huh?"
