On my Nostalgic Sunday post, I hadn't located the pretty note card that Patti mailed, so I couldn't include it. WELL, today I found it while going through items on my desk. It's amazing the things you can find when you're not even looking for them. It's like watching little Theodore Cleaver pull all the contents out of his pocket. Anyway....here's the pretty note card. Thanks again, Patti!
I discovered Patti's card while rummaging around files and folders, looking for something else. I also came across some old quotes and jokes from years past that I'd printed to save. Some actually made me laugh out loud, with a genuine laugh, not a chuckle or smile, or a semi-silent, that's cute.
These are supposedly real questions and answers from the old Hollywood Squares game show. (Some might be considered off-color. I hope I won't offend anyone by posting them.)
Q. Back in the old days, when Great Grandpa put horseradish on his head, what was he trying to do?
A. George Gobel: Get it in his mouth.
Q. As you grow older, do you tend to gesture more or less with your hands while talking?
A. Rose Marie: You ask me one more growing old question Peter, and I'll give you a gesture you'll never forget.
Q. What are "Do It", "I Can Help" and "I Can't Get Enough"?
A. George Gobel: I don't know, but it's coming from the apartment next door.
Q. According to Ann Landers, what are two things you should never do in bed?
A. Paul Lynde: Point and laugh.
** Also welcome to my newest follower: Working Man. I hope you'll stop by often and always enjoy what you read and see! Thank you!
I'll "see" y'all when I get back home!
I think grandpa was trying to ward off a cold with that horseradish. At least that's the old wives tale I've heard. And I've heard a lot of them too! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI'm getting the travel itch too. Have fun on your trip and can't wait to see some pics of the mountains.~Ames
I LOVED Paul Lynde.
ReplyDeleteThese were too cute! Have fun in Georgia. I'd love to visit there sometime. I hope you snap a few pictures to share with us while your gone.

Have a good time! At the risk of treating you like a sixteen-year-old going off to Nerd Camp...have you packed your favorite Frisbee?
ReplyDeleteCome on to Georgia girl! Can't wait to see you! I love the old game shows! hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteHa! More proof that humor does not require language that would make a truck driver blush. Enjoy your vacation, Becky!

Hi Becky,
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time! Believe me, it is good to get away (and away from the computer) once in a while.
I thought that your jokes were pretty funny too. Thanks for all the visits and comments when I was gone, I really appreciate them.
Have a wonderful Wed.!

Have a great trip. Hope it's a relaxing and memory-making time with ones near and dear to your heart.

Love,
Patti
