Why me?

Thanks, Wakey. My old Coon Behind buddy said he'd never heard it either, leading me to suspect he made it, "wondermus" and a few more things up for entertainment purposes.
My son used to be a restaurant cook and I told him about Justin's trick of pouring an exact teaspoon of salt into his palm. To my surprise, my son then duplicated the trick, saying he did it all the time.

I like Justin Wilson but he痴 really just an entertainer, from somewhere in Mississippi. I don稚 believe he痴 got Cajun ancestry either.

I don稚 recall hearing anyone use numbers in that way but it is possible I suppose. I left for Georgia when I was 22 so at this point I致e forgotten much more than I remember from back home.

I too was a big fan of Justin Wilson; in fact I liked both his comedy and his recipes. When I first heard his story of the scientist and the flea, I was working as a Research Chemist in an industrial research laboratory. I laughed until I cried.

A different take.

Why mine.

As in, why did you put my boots on, which are right next to yours, and accidently fill them with snow because they are big on you and don't seal well along the top? :confused3:

What with tomorrow being Valentine's Day I would recommend that, when buying a gift for your significant other, you spend a bit extra on a quality vacuum cleaner.

She'll appreciate your thoughtfulness. :thumbsup:

I guess my parents did not buy into the commercialism... ever.

They would buy things needed and be happy... one year it was a frost free refrigerator/freezer... another it was a Washer followed up the next year with a Dryer... both from the 1960's and still working... by the way... and a hard to get color avocado green... the Electrolux Vac was another...

Mom was a very practical Farm girl and that has never left... so it was garden shovels, wheelbarrows, etc from me.

When it came to going out for Mother's Day, Valentines Day which is also their anniversary and Father's Day they never did... saying it was for amateurs... more expensive and poor service... the following week was always it.

Still remember the chainsaw... Mom really thought it would be useful... Dad was not sure... she said just call it a Anniversary and Valentine present to us and Dad said OK...

One of my grandparents friends that owned a big Nevada ranch starting out they had saved money for the big wedding... in the planning there was a prize bull that was for sale... took the wedding money and bought the bull... and parlayed into a very successful operation...

My family use de Arabic numbers cept fer Peggy. She got dis abacus thing some china lady give her long years back & taught her to use. Peggy accurate to de penny wid dem little wood beads on wires. She can count em wid her fingers like blind person. She probably faster den I am wid pencil & paper.

Cajun & associated cultures too spread out and too long established fer much of single overall culture to exist. People do what dey gotta do to survive where dey be. Most de culture under family roof, spreads across family livin near. People move away loose some what dey raised wid and pick up new to get along where dey is now.

Nothersumtin you fellows can learn from. I swiped it an drug it here ta help ya.




Fulton County Ohio A man was sitting on the edge of the bed, watching his wife, who was

looking at herself in the mirror. Since her birthday was not far off he asked

what she'd like to have for her birthday.

'I'd like to be eight again', she replied, still looking in the mirror.

On the morning of her Birthday, he arose early, made her a nice big bowl of

Coco Pops, and then took her to Adventure World theme park. What a day! He

put her on every ride in the park; the Death Slide, the Wall of Fear, the

Screaming Roller Coaster, everything there was.

Five hours later they staggered out of the theme park. Her head was reeling
and her stomach felt upside down. He then took her to a McDonald's where he

ordered her a Happy Meal with extra fries and a chocolate shake.

Then it was off to a movie, popcorn, a soda pop, and her favourite candy,
M&M's. What a fabulous adventure!

Finally, she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed into bed exhausted.

He leaned over his wife with a big smile and lovingly asked, 'Well Dear, what

was it like being eight again?

Her eyes slowly opened and her expression suddenly changed.

'I meant my dress size, you f@*#*! ******!!!!'

The moral of the story: Even when a man is listening, he is gonna get it
wrong.

DON'T NEVER PASS DE CHANCE TA ASK QUESTIONS.
