Sadly, Milton Berle is no longer alive to steal that from me...
In the days before video cameras, this would be the guy working with the mohel to document the event ....
A++
Then there’s the one about the mohel who saved the “cuttings” and made them into a wallet. When he rubbed it, it turned into a suitcase.
Very good.
I was going to ask whether it meant they just draw around the affected body part instead of cutting.
Sorry—I pinged myself instead of the group.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
and it is a roomful of men talking about genitalia!
Probably better that you stayed away. :)
I’m going to just ignore the junk clipping comments...
Obama’s minions must be tired
Of being forced to circumscribe
All chance comments and remarks
Of the suddenly panicking crowd
Of various wizards and webmasters
Who-unlike Amazon-in a crunch
Can’t manage a website without
Getting their panties in a bunch
The private sector websites do
Many times that volume every day
Which only goes to prove-again
Government should just go away...
How is your puppy doing today? Have you resolved the boarding to your satisfaction?
Thank goodness!
One of your best poems to date.
A+++
Well she’s not 100% back to normal, but she’s a little better. She has diarrhea, so i had an unpleasant mess to deal with this AM. Told the dogwalker to just have her in the yard and not to walk her, i don’t want to tax her. xsbaby is home from class and home with her now.
i’m going to wait to decide on the boarding to see how she does over the next few days.
i just saw this on twitter, a website to see if someone died in your house www.diedinhouse.com . I have listened to this FM dj for years but missed his prior discussions of oddball stuff happening in past years in the house where he lives with his wife and kids. But apparently yesterday someone who knew his address plugged it in there and determined that someone HAD died there, and the woman who died was married to someone named Arthur. Apparently in the odd goings on, hearing someone calling the name Arthur was part of it. so totally cool/weird/halloweenish/haunted.
oh for heavens’s sake you have to PAY??? ridic!
Thank you!
I’m keeping that website address for future reference. This house is deathless, but we unknowingly built it on haunted ground-a suicide and some other stuff went down in a barn that once stood there-that is why there are spooks...
Not gonna do it-wouldn’t be prudent...
