A Gadget I really need
by veryolfart Wed Mar 21, 2012 12:48 pm
It sure would be nice to have a gadget that would read my wife's thoughts so I wouldn't have to spend so much of my time guessing and the apologizing.

[b] I once told my wife that I had half a mind to go to the bar. She replied, "Most men do." It took me nearly 30 mins. to get her point.[/b]

That's a two-way street, so get busy and invent that gadget--men and women would line up to buy it!

Time for a very old joke.
A man finds a magic lamp at a yard sale and ends up being granted a wish - just one according to the genie. He wants to go to Hawaii and is afraid to fly and petrified to be on a boat so he requests the genie to construct a bridge and highway to Hawaii. The genie responds to what a difficult task this is for even a genie and, of course, potential environmental damage and asks if there is something else he can do.
The man says he is a failure with women. His relationships flounder. His sisters hardly speak to him. His mother has disowned him so he says "I want to understand women. How they think. How their minds operate. How as a male I can get along with them." The genie looks at him and says "Do you want that highway to be two or four lanes?"

Mrd told me recently "you have made my entire life nothing but interesting". It was the nicest compliment he ever gave me, I thought I just drove him crazy; but he likes me, he really really likes me?

Sure, just bring your voter ID picture and step inside the little booth. I know, I know it does look a little like a port-a-potty.

I'm assuming a paper ballot on a roll.

Sort of, If you look closely the booth is on top of a hill, so me thinks something else might "roll".........notice that little tractor reving up???

It's often been said that ---- rolls down hill, so it may be proven:shock:

Does "Monkey Ward" ring a bell? The glossy pages don't work well.

No bells here, I'm a city girl. Mrd and I were talking the other night and he mentioned rain barrels under the gutters (he fell in as a kid and almost drowned) but then he said I don't know what they used the water for.

When we had an outhouse, we had the Montgomery Ward's catelog in there for "Reading" material. TP was too expensive so we just used the pages out of the book. The more familiar nickname for the company was Monkey Ward. There's your history lesson for today.

Yeah, I'd heard about that, not sure how true it was. I think we bought our first washer from Wards.

In 1938 as part of their expanding catalog,pets and pet supplies were offered. Among the pets offered were Caching monkeys. Of course it was very unique to have exotic animals available. So Montgomery Wards became known as the monkey store... Monkey Wards

Interesting. I remember little monkeys for sale in comics or magazines and wanting one. I just thought it was kinda like kentucky ducky or some of the other names people give stores.
