Fun Friday with a little help from my friends . . .

Every tree and plant in the meadow seemed to be dancing, those which average eyes would see as fixed and still.



One day my mother was out and my dad was in charge of me.

I was maybe 2-1/2 years old. Someone had given me a little 'tea set' as a gift and it was one of my favorite toys.

Daddy was in the living room engrossed in the evening news when I brought Daddy a little cup of 'tea', which was just water. After several cups of tea and lots of praise for such yummy tea, my Mom came home.

My Dad made her wait in the living room to watch me bring him a cup of tea, because it was 'just the cutest thing!' My Mom waited, and sure enough, here I come down the hall with a cup of tea for Daddy and she watches him drink it up.

Then she says, (as only a mother would know.. :)


'Did it ever occur to you that the only place she can reach water is the toilet?

AN INTERESTING FACT ABOUT AUGUST 2010.

This August has 5 Sundays, 5 Mondays, 5 Tuesdays, all in one month.

It happens once in 823 years. We will probably miss it next time
(Thanks Monica)



Birthday Clock

It tells you how many hours and how many seconds you have been alive on this earth and when you were probably conceived. How cool is that? This is cool. After you've finished reading the info, click again, and see what the moon looked like the night you were born. This is neat. Who says our time clocks aren't ticking....

(Thank you Sharon).





Theft Problem -- IMPORTANT MESSAGE:

You've heard about people who have been abducted and had their kidneys removed by black-market organ thieves.

My thighs were stolen from me during the night a few years ago. I went to sleep and woke up with someone else's thighs. It was just that quick. The replacements had the texture of cooked oatmeal. Whose thighs were these and what happened to mine?

I spent the entire summer looking for my thighs. Finally, hurt and angry, I resigned myself to living out my life in jeans. And then the thieves struck again.

My butt was next. I knew it was the same gang because they took pains to match my new rear-end to the thighs they had stuck me with earlier. But my new butt was attached at least three inches lower than my original! I realized I'd have to give up my jeans in favor of long skirts.

Two years ago I realized my arms had been switched. One morning I was fixing my hair and was horrified to see the flesh of my upper arm swing to and fro with the motion of the hairbrush. This was really getting scary - my body was being replaced one section at a time. What could they do to me next?

When my poor neck suddenly disappeared and was replaced with a turkey neck I decided to tell my story.

Women of the worldwake up and smell the coffee! Those 'plastic' surgeons are using REAL replacement body parts -stolen from you and me! The next time someone you know has something 'lifted', look again - was it lifted from you?

THIS IS NOT A HOAX!!! This is happening to women everywhere every night!

WARN YOUR FRIENDS!

P. S. Last year I thought someone had stolen my boobs. I was lying in bed and they were gone! But when I jumped out of bed, I was relieved to see that they had just been hiding in my armpits as I slept. Now I keep them hidden in my waistband.
(Thanks Karen)



FINALLY..THE BLONDE JOKE TO END
ALL BLONDE JOKES


A blonde woman was speeding down the road in her little red sports car and was pulled over by a woman police officer who was also a blonde.

The blonde cop asked to see the blonde driver's license. She dug through her purse and was getting progressively more agitated. 'What does it look like?' she finally asked.

The policewoman replied, 'It's square and it has your picture on it.'

The driver finally found a square mirror in her purse, looked at it and handed it to the
policewoman. 'Here it is,' she said.

The blonde officer looked at the mirror, then handed it back saying, OK, you can go. I didn't realize you were a cop.'

I'm 98% pure Dixie, Sandi, and laughed at all your jokes here, especially the blonde one!
Have a great day.

Well below the Mason Dixon line, ya'll. You post is so fun. Thanks for the chuckles and the pictures of the flower people. The Olde Bagg

Susan said...

Hi Sandie...Great post, as always. Loved it. I took the quiz and came out 9% Dixie so guess I'm a Yankee, almost through and through. But I LOVE all the Dixie ladies I meet in blogland, including YOU.

Had to chuckle over yesterday's post. That rude lady you encountered? Oh, you GO girl. I would have added the word "IGNORANT B----."

One time, in Arizona, I was driving and planned to turn right into a parking space. Changed my mind. The guy behind me yelled out his window, "What's your IQ, 10?"

In split second mode, I stuck my head out the window and retorted, "You idiot. What's yours, MINUS ZERO?"

My kids slid down to the floorboards, I burst out laughing, and drove on.

There are all kinds of jerks in the world, Sandie. Sad but true, but we don't have to let them get the best of us.

Have a fabulous Friday, chickie. Susan

Linda @ A La Carte said...

Such a fun Friday! Love the jokes as always. They make me smile...good way to start the weekend.

Linda @ A La Carte said...

I had to come back after taking the test! I'm 41% Dixie...barely in Yankeedom! Guess growing up all over the USA made me a mixture!

Pat MacKenzie said...

The pictures were interesting, if a little creepy. The jokes were funny but I'm afraid I'm neither Yankee nor Dixie. Does Canuck count?

Joyce said...

Interesting photos. Did not do the test but I have to say the jokes made me laugh out loud. Thanks for sharing and have a good weekend.
Joyce

Ginny Hartzler said...

O.K. this post is just AMAZING!!! How long does it take you to do your posts, anyway?? Everything is just so funny! While I was reading it, I noticed that something wasn't quite right about the flowers, and they were so different. So then I went back and looked more closely. They aren't flowers, they're people!! So THAT'S what happened to all the flower chiildren from the 60's!! Those LSD side effects can really be something!

Jane said...

Too funy! Especially loved the cop joke! Ah, yes, the flowers - people flowers!

Jane

Melanie said...

The little girl getting the water was too cute.
I did the birthday clock. That is so cool.

Angela said...

Hey Sandie!

I loved the pictures! They were AWESOME!!!!!

Have a Wonderful Weekend!
Angela

Doris Sturm said...

Like what, Sandie, the fact that they are all women? Or is it not that obvious? Maybe I need to count them to see if they all have the same number of women?

I loved this post. Thanks for cheering me up. I'm very tired. Just thought and check in with you.

Love,
Doris and Gizzy

(thanks, I'm 58)

I can picture the father's face in the first story!

I LOVE the men classes! They totally need to teach this in school - before they're allowed to date. That'd be awesome.

My score - "38% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee."
Not too surprised there...

My Native American Zodiac sign is Hawk - very cool! And I am not yet 1 billion seconds old...

And Tuesday is my lucky day - that's today! Interesting coincedence...

That blonde joke is fantastic! I'm sending it to my cousin - he'll love it!
