(With huge apologies to Norman Rockwell.)
My lips are sealed.
and then, on second thought, I thought, this really ain't so funny.
Then on third thought - considering the rip-snorter of a rain-wind storm that came through here last night - and ripped shingles off my roof and blew them over the top and off into the woods on the other side - and lost us power for nigh onto 24 hours, I remembered I'm damnable glad I got my wood stove.
Ayuh
That’s quite the harness on that moose!
'don't remember that they observed Thanksgiving -
Now the Pilgrims, on the other hand, did. In all their colorful clothes: They had many dyes so that red, green, beige, burgundy, blue, violet, as well as brown and black were worn.
Their spiritual leader, Elder William Brewster's favorite pieces were a long, red velvet cape and green 'breeches' -

Confucius say: man who walk sideways through turnstile go to bangkok.
You know the ditty...
"And here's to good old Boston
The land of the bean and the cod
Where the Lowells talk only to Cabots
And the Cabots talk only to God."
A few days later Rob's at the bar and Dan walks in and sits down beside him. "How's it goin'?" "Not so good," says Dan, "I think that old witch has a hearing problem. I found her and asked for a million bucks and next thing I know DUCKS start appearing from every direction! They covered the ground, filled the trees. Now I've got a million ducks I don't know what to do with." Rob, "Yeah, I know. Do you really think I asked for a 12 inch pianist?"
That is all but sacrilegious! I almost threw up.
Rockwell had a great sense of humor, but I doubt he'd laugh over that were he here today.
I gotta go wash my eyes out...
LOL!

Subject: Indian Student
It was the first day of a school in USA and a new Indian student named Chandrasekhar Subramanian entered the fourth grade.
The teacher said, “Let’s begin by reviewing some American History. Who said ‘Give me Liberty or give me Death’?”
She saw a sea of blank faces, except for Chandrasekhar, who had his hand up: ‘Patrick Henry, 1775’ he said.
‘Very good!’
Who said ‘Government of the People, by the People, for the People, shall not perish from the Earth?’
Again, no response except from Chandrasekhar. ‘Abraham Lincoln, 1863’ said Chandrasekhar.
The teacher snapped at the class, ‘Class, you should be ashamed. Chandrasekhar, who is new to our country, knows more about its history than you do.’
She heard a loud whisper: ‘F*ck the Indians,’
‘Who said that?’ she demanded. Chandrasekhar put his hand up. ‘General Custer, 1862.’
At that point, a student in the back said, ‘I’m gonna puke.’
The teacher glares around and asks ‘All right! Now, who said that?’
Again, Chandrasekhar says, ‘George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991.’
Now furious, another student yells, ‘Oh yeah? Suck this!’
Chandrasekhar jumps out of his chair waving his hand and shouts to the teacher, ‘Bill Clinton, to Monica Lewinsky, 1997!’
Now with almost mob hysteria someone said ‘You little shit. If you say anything else, I’ll kill you.’
Chandrasekhar frantically yells at the top of his voice, ‘ Michael Jackson to the child witnesses testifying against him- 2004.’
The teacher fainted.
And as the class gathered around the teacher on the floor, someone said, ‘Oh shit, we’re screwed!’
And Chandrasekhar said quietly, “I think it was the American people, November 4, 2008.”
LOL!
