A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....4-25-06...Laughter at the Finest

A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day

Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997.   Over 100,000 people have registered for posting privileges on Free Republic, and the forum is read daily by tens of thousands of concerned citizens and patriots from all around the country and the world.
A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day was introduced on June 24, 2002. It's only a small room in JimRob's house where we can get to know one another a little better; salute and support our military and our leaders; pray for those in need; and congratulate those deserving. We strive to keep our threads entertaining, fun, and pleasing to look at, and often have guest writers contribute an essay or a profile of another FReeper.
On Mondays please visit us to see photos of A FEW OF FR'S VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY
If you have a suggestion, or an idea, or if there's a FReeper you would like to see featured, please drop one of us a note in FR mail.
We're having fun and hope you are!

Laughter in the Bank

I started out with nickles, pennies, and a dime,
Collecting them and putting off some pleasure for a time.
“Anticipation” kinda whets your appetite, you know,
And in the meantime little piles of coins will surely grow.

So then I started thinking that if coins can be put by,
Then why not give some really fun things their own try?
I’d heard of confound interest and how it makes things grow,
And now I think my little bits of treasure will soon show.

I’ve been saving up my chuckles, my giggles, and a smile,
In hopes I’d have a good collection in a while.
I’m going to put this laugh in there and keep it for my own,
Because I know I’ll treasure it when I’m more fully grown.

An Elephant in My Pajamas



I saw an elephant in my pajamas,
I wanted to shoot the thing!
First off, they were all stretched out,
And I think he lost my string.

The one that holds the pants up.
I know I’ll need it now.
The elephant in my pajamas,
Didn’t need the string somehow.

I’ve got to find a home for him,
Let’s hope the Zoo okays.
‘Cause then I must go to the store,
I need some new PJ’s.

Chicken Soup



My nephew had a poultry farm! (His stock just numbered two.)
He planned to breed some more of them, but then one got the flu.
Now, Medicine is not his strength, but he worked for the group.
He nursed the sick one back to health. He fed it Chicken Soup!

That’s right, he killed the healthy one, to make the sick one strong.
And you may think this makes no sense, but then you have it wrong.
For business, it’s crazy, but that’s not where he leans.
He’ll be a whiz with all the biz of Government Machines!

Where this new math can operate, increases are called cuts,
And taxes are investments. In other words, it’s Nuts!
My brother’s son will fit right in. He thinks that way a lot.
If you call, and you hear strange advice, my nephew’s who you got!

Apples and Wine

Women are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree.
Most men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they sometimes take the apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy. The apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they're amazing. They just have to wait for the right man to come along, the one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.

Now Men .... Men are like a fine wine. They begin as grapes, and it's up to women to stomp them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.

I read Heinlein at a very formative time in my life. I'm glad he was there.

And now I find myself echoing the same sentiments. Sometimes, it is not so easy to remember that he said them first.

I also have to remind myself that he was a bit unorthodox in some views, but he was wise enough to know that the end result is the determinant of the prudence of your actions.

You and Lori make it much easier for me to do my threads. :)

I don't have to learn all the graphic stuff and use just so-so graphics.
