From CINDY:
INTERNATIONAL carrier. Suddenly, during the food service, the flight attendant notices an 85-year-old geezer in the back peeling his peach with a real knife, something like a Swiss Army job. She freaks. Screams, "Where'd you get that?" He explains it's his trusty one which he always carries and which he's never without. She runs to the pilot who orders her to: "Bring him to the cockpit." A passenger suggested: "Don't you think you should maybe take away his knife first?"
Only in Europe, kids, only in Europe.
Gentlemen in this age group don't understand why everyone doesn't carry a pocket knife. My Father-in-law gave our son a pocket knife and told him to carry it all the time. We had to explain that he could get expelled from school if he carried it on campus. He asked, "How in the world do you get through the day without a pocket knife?" My how times have changed.
Have a super round. ;-)
Dutchess, come spend part of your "coffee break" here....
I would like to be with James Bond, but I am probably going to end up with Mini-Me.

Three Men and A Baby is the best movie, EVER!!
Nice!
He must be paying his wife off pretty good. Because in a normal divorce, this would be used against him for custody. I suppose these RICH Hollywood types think the rules are different for them.
Hollywood actor Lee Marvin served as a Private First Class in the Marines in World War II. In the battle of Saipan in 1944, he was one of only nine survivors of his unit. He was seriously wounded during the battle and earned a trip home, where he spent months recovering. He was awarded the Purple Heart.
Lee Marvin died August 29, 1987 and is buried at Arlington National Cemetery in Section 7-A, not far from the Tomb of the Unknowns.
I did not know that. Thanks for the info. The next time I'm out there, I'l look it up.
OMG, I didn't even recognize Colin Firth in that picture above.
IMHO, he should always dress like THIS:
Betty, I think this is the best movie ever made because it goes on for 6 glorious hours! Perfect rainy-winter-day movie. You will absolutely swoon over Mr. Darby. Lizzie's pretty terrific, too.
