Can anyone explain to me the origin of the old expression "duck soup".
It means "something done easily" FYI
Did I tell you you look like the Prince of Wales? Not the new one, one of the old whales. And when I say, whales, I mean whales.
The "Tea in China" only makes sense to me as a futures deal
I can see you in the kitchen bending over a hot stove, and I can't see the stove.
Ah, you and the moon. You wear I necktie so I'll know you.
Chicolini: Now I aska you one. What has a trunk, but no key, weighs 2,000 pounds and lives in a circus?
Prosecutor: That's irrelevant.
Chicolini: Irrelephant? Hey, that'sa that answer. There's a whole lot of irrelephants in the circus.
If I tell you you have a sexy figure...will you hold it against me?
Whya no duck?
I'll see you at the opera tonight. I'll hold your seat till you get there. After that, you're on your own.
Last Saturday, I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas I'll never know.
In Alabama, the tusks are looser.
Why isn't this in Breaking News???
Here's breaking news!:
Rufus T. Firefly: Awfully decent of you to drop in today. Do you realize our army is facing disastrous defeat? What do you intend to do about it?
Chicolini: I've done it already.
Rufus T. Firefly: You've done what?
Chicolini: I've changed to the other side.
Rufus T. Firefly: So you're on the other side, eh? Well, what are you doing over here?
Chicolini: Well, the food is better over here.
So a duck goes into a bar, and says to the Irish bartender, "Do you have any bread?"
The bartender says, "No duck, sure'n I don't have a crumb for ye."
So the next day, the duck goes back into the bar, and says, "How about today? Do you have any bread for me today?"
The bartender says, "No duck! I don'a have ne bread for ye!"
So the next day, the duck goes back into the bar, and says, "Now come on. I know you HAVE to have some bread for me TODAY!"
The bartender says, "NO, DUCK! I DON'A HAVE NE BREAD, and if you ask me ag'in, I'll nail ya to the wall!" Then the bartender holds up a hammer menacingly.
The next day, the duck waddles into the bar. The bartender glowers at him. The duck pipes up, "Hey barkeep. Do you have any nails?"
The bartender looks perplexed, and says, "No, duck."
The duck responds, "Good. Got any bread?"
LOLOL!!!
I'll have to ask my Chinese friend about the price of tea in China. She brought a lovely boxed package of it from there, for Miss Lippy and me.
