My wife sometimes says that, but usually only when she is really trying to tease me.

FINE with the PEE CEE crowd! They spoofed it pretty effectively in the Watchmen graphic novel/movie. Not to everyone's taste of course -- I'm not Liberal on the topic, but I am a comic book geek. In the movie, the sailor misses his chance and walks past quite obliviously while the nurse is grabbed by the costimed heroine Silhouette. Not long after, the nurse and Silhouette are murdered by someone who leaves "Lesbian Whores" scrawled on the wall over their bodies.

Thank you for your service! And for giving me an idea.
My wife has her braces off in a couple months. We’re sixtysomethings and this will be the best way to celebrate.

How true, we have gone to a place on the far side of the moon. What have they done to our country?

You bet! Ahhh. I read a list one time that said the single most important thing to being happy in life is marrying the right person.
I think I agree with that...:)

The photo of the century was that of the Serbian assassin Princip killing archduke Ferdinand in Serajevo.
That event marked the rest of the 20th century and everything thereafter.

The forensic artist said he used to sign the pictures for $10 piece and he’d make at least $200 a hour. She said he got to fly first class for free and got free motel rooms all over the country. And women would want to kiss him. He’d let them kiss him on the cheek. He told her the kiss with the nurse didn’t have any tongue, but it was wet! Ha!

When I was a kid, I thought it was my mom and dad kissing... I think it is interesting how kids develop and absorb information and make rational connections like that...
When I was young, there were several similar connections I made... the Eisenhower dollar coins had a picture of my Great Grandfather on them... the old Shop Rite grocery store logo that has a woman on it... the woman was my Grandmother.
There were other associations my young mind made. Mom had a copy of Judy Collins' album Wildflowers that she she would play often... and I thought the song Both Sides Now was sung by an angel flying around in the clouds... and nearly 40 years later, in my mind, angels (and beautiful women) have long straight hippie hair like Sweet Judy Blue Eyes... because of my exposure to that record as a young child.
It is frightening what associations young kids might make in seeing flaming homos in assless chaps making out in the middle of the street at the St. Patrick's Day parade.

There is a photo of Prinzip being captured by the authorities but none of the assassination, IIRC. It happened so quickly due to a wrong turn.
Now, the King of Yugoslavia was assassinated in his open carriage in 1934 during a motorcade, but the newsreel cameras were already rolling & caught it on film.
