And I'll forgive Thy great big one on me.

We're fools whether we dance or not, so we might as well dance.
~Japanese Proverb

You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time,
but you cannot fool all the people all the time.

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof
is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools
~Douglas Adams

It is the ability to take a joke, not make one,
that proves you have a sense of humor.
~Max Eastman

Don't give cherries to pigs or advice to fools.
~Irish Proverb

A sense of humor is the ability to understand a joke
and that the joke is oneself.
~Clifton Paul Fadiman

It is better to weep with wise men than to laugh with fools.
~Spanish Proverb

I have great faith in fools - self-confidence, my friends call it.
~Edgar Allan Poe

The aim of a joke is not to degrade the human being,
but to remind him that he is already degraded.
~George Orwell

Suppose the world were only one of God's jokes,
would you work any the less to make it a good joke instead of a bad one?
~George Bernard Shaw

Real friends are those who, when you feel you've made a fool of yourself,
don't feel you've done a permanent job.
~Author Unknown

Thanks Amy....may I ask where in CA are ya?

I have relatives near the Bay area and as well as Orange county

[La Enchiladita]

Hi!!!

[JustAmy]

I’m in Fresno .... just about half way between your two sets of relatives. :^)

We are retired farmers and are still living on the farm.

When you make it out to visit relatives, let us know. Maybe you can make a stop in Fresno. I’m sure I could find some local FReepers to meet for dinner.

[Poetgal26]

I will keep that in mind and that would be awesome

But I doubt my other half would set food in CA, he thinks it is too liberal....Farmers eh?
What type?

We are farmers as well, but not retired...

[JustAmy]

I’ve have to run .... I will get back to you later. Okay?

[JustAmy]
