Teresa Brewer - Mockin' Bird Hill (1961)


How not to land a P51 Mustang



The narrator is obviously a little out of touch with reality - probably the wife! And I imagine "and now Bob has messed his pants" is the proverbial understatement! - "No big deal" indeed......

ITS THAT TIME OF THE YEAR AGAIN...



TIME TO TAKE THE TEST......................
GOOD LUCK...........................................
HAPPY 2013............................................

Yearly Dementia Test

It's that time of year for us to take our annual senior citizen test.
Exercise of the brain is as important as exercise of the muscles. As we grow older, it's important to keep mentally alert.
If you don't use it, you lose it!
Below is a very private way to gauge how your memory compares to the last test. Some may think it is too easy but the ones with memory problems may have difficulty.

Take the test presented here to determine if you're losing it or not.
The spaces below are so you don't see the answers until you've made your answer.

OK, relax, clear your mind and begin.



1. What do you put in a toaster?






Answer: 'bread.'
If you said 'toast' give up now and do something else.
Try not to hurt yourself.
If you said bread, go to Question 2.




2. Say 'silk' five times. Now spell 'silk.'
What do cows drink?



Answer: Cows drink water.
If you said 'milk,' don't attempt the next question. Your brain is over-stressed and may even overheat. Content yourself with reading more appropriate literature such as 'Auto World'.
However, if you said 'water', proceed to question 3.





3. If a red house is made from red bricks and a blue house is made from blue bricks and a pink house is made from pink bricks and a black house is made from black bricks,
what is a green house made from?






Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass.
If you said 'green bricks', why are you still reading these??? If you said 'glass', go on to Question 4.

4. Without using a calculator -
You are driving a bus from London to Milford Haven in Wales.
In London, 17people get on the bus.
In Reading, 6 people get off the bus and 9 people get on.
In Swindon, 2 people get off and 4 get on.
In Cardiff, 11 people get off and 16 people get on.
In Swansea, 3 people get off and 5 people get on.
In Carmarthen, 6 people get off and 3 get on.
You then arrive at Milford Haven.


Without scrolling back to review, how old is the bus driver?





Answer: Oh, for crying out loud!
Don't you remember your own age?
It was YOU driving the bus!! 

Thanks Randy

Friday's Vehicle - 1972 Pontiac Firebird Formula 400


Petula Clark & Bobby Darin - All I Have To Do Is Dream


There comes a time when a woman just has to trust her husband

There comes a time when a woman just has to trust her husband.

For example...

A wife came home late at night after being out of town, and quietly
opened the door to her bedroom.

From under the blanket she saw four legs instead of two. So she reached
for a baseball bat, and started hitting the blanket as hard as she
could.

Once she was finished, she went to the kitchen to have a drink. As she
entered, she saw her husband sitting there, reading a magazine.

"Hi, Darling!" he said. "Your parents have come to visit us, so l let
them stay in our bedroom. Did you say 'hello'?"

Why I made Captain


Many years ago on a long transatlantic flight, an elderly lady asked if she could visit the cockpit.

When she got up there, she found four crewmen. She asked the first what he did, and heexplained that he was the navigator and what his responsibilities were.

She turned to next one and asked what he did. He explained that he was the engineer and his job was to monitor and troubleshoot any system problems to keep the flight operating smoothly.
She turned to the next one and asked what he did. He explained that as the captain he was responsible for everything on the airplane and the functioning of the crew. She turned to the first officer and asked "Well young man, what is your job?"

He replied "Ma'am, I am the captain's sexual advisor."

Somewhat shocked, she said "I beg your pardon, but what do you mean by that?"

"Very simple ma'am. The captain has told me that when he wants my f#@%ing advice, he'll ask me."

Thanks Bernie
