are okay too and Benjies are even better.

I’ll even accept

an occasional subway token.

Being a retired busker

OM45GE - Posted - 10/11/2018:  12:11:30

I've learned to accept pretty much anything even remotely negotiable.



One time I was busking in the Harvard MBTA station and an older woman gave me

a 1925 Buffalo nickel.

She was a Bills fan

OM45GE - Posted - 10/11/2018:  18:14:36

so I couldn’t, in good conscience, keep the coin.

I had to chase her

banjoscotty - Posted - 10/12/2018:  03:03:53

and that led me to her apartment.

What happened next is off

OM45GE - Posted - 10/12/2018:  03:34:13

the charts and off the record too.

I’m not the type to kiss and

chuckv97 - Posted - 10/12/2018:  09:21:48

blab, but I need to share this with my shrink.
He warned me of the horrors of

OM45GE - Posted - 10/12/2018:  12:29:52

herpes zoster and the wisdom of abstinence.

I promptly ignored

banjoscotty - Posted - 10/13/2018:  04:24:07

all caution signs and jumped in bed.

But to my surprise things didn't

OM45GE - Posted - 10/13/2018:  05:03:26

go badly at all.

In fact, we’re going to announce

banjoscotty - Posted - 10/13/2018:  05:41:05

the grand opening of a bed & breakfast hotel soon.

WOW!! Things really get

OM45GE - Posted - 10/13/2018:  11:05:53

exciting quickly at this point.

First we opened

banjoscotty - Posted - 10/13/2018:  12:27:50

a can of worms.

Then they started crawling around and

chuckv97 - Posted - 10/13/2018:  13:22:22

became lodged on our fishing hooks.

These ended up being cast

OM45GE - Posted - 10/13/2018:  14:25:26

into the reflecting pool.

The worms didn’t

banjoscotty - Posted - 10/14/2018:  05:57:02

wiggle much so no fish...

She noticed that Lee Majors

chuckv97 - Posted - 10/14/2018:  07:59:03

had bionic body parts.

This tickled her fancy

OM45GE - Posted - 10/14/2018:  11:49:46

in ways it had never been tickled before.

She wanted more, so she

banjoscotty - Posted - 10/14/2018:  16:31:01

dug out one of his old DVD's.

Just before putting it in the player she

chuckv97 - Posted - 10/14/2018:  17:25:42

fainted from the intense anticipation.

As she slowly came around

OM45GE - Posted - 10/15/2018:  03:45:24

she kept muttering something about big, strong football players.

Then she would

banjoscotty - Posted - 10/15/2018:  05:26:47

put on her old cheer leading outfit and shake her pom-poms.

The men in white coats finally

OM45GE - Posted - 10/15/2018:  07:04:09

decided enough was enough.

They took her

chuckv97 - Posted - 10/15/2018:  07:34:28

to the Home for Aging Cheerleaders in Can Ton ,Ohio.



All day long one would hear,”Give me an ‘H’ !,

Edited by - chuckv97 on 10/15/2018 07:35:07

OM45GE - Posted - 10/15/2018:  07:54:42

give me a ‘Q’!, which was very confusing.

What they were trying to

chuckv97 - Posted - 10/15/2018:  08:10:02

spell in their rally chant was “How Long Til Meds?”

“Hip,Hip,Hooray”

OM45GE - Posted - 10/15/2018:  08:14:34

they cried when the nurses started handing out the medication.

Soon, they were all

banjoscotty - Posted - 10/16/2018:  04:57:36

stoned and glassy-eyed.

sometimes that will

chuckv97 - Posted - 10/16/2018:  05:04:40

give the nurses time to smoke a joint and snack on twinkies.

Please don’t operate a lawnmower

OldBlindGuy - Posted - 10/16/2018:  05:48:25

on top of a moving vehicle at night.

This may lead to

OM45GE - Posted - 10/16/2018:  07:06:12

a sudden violent impact when the train enters a tunnel.

Unlike Road Runner and Coyote cartoons, you will

chuckv97 - Posted - 10/16/2018:  08:21:24

not see stars for a few seconds, and then gather yourself together like nothing happened.

Many a youngster has been led astray

DC5 - Posted - 10/16/2018:  08:41:34

by learning physics and medicine from cartoons.


Violent video games can

banjoscotty - Posted - 10/16/2018:  13:20:45

cause one to have nightmares.

Don't worry about it just

chuckv97 - Posted - 10/16/2018:  13:24:08

give your head a shake, or for that matter ,a malted milk.

My local soda jerk

banjoscotty - Posted - 10/16/2018:  17:28:33

has been local for quite some time.

All the lady folk want

OM45GE - Posted - 10/17/2018:  03:33:58

him to teach them his special shaking moves.

They seem fascinated

chuckv97 - Posted - 10/17/2018:  05:39:02

when he shimmies and shakes behind the soda fountain counter.

He often wears

OM45GE - Posted - 10/17/2018:  05:48:44

a cute little apron slung low on his lithe and limber hips.

Just the sight of it can send

chuckv97 - Posted - 10/17/2018:  05:50:03

blue-haired ladies into a tizzy.

But then the day came

OM45GE - Posted - 10/17/2018:  06:10:15

when the soda jerk set his sights on grander things.

He packed his apron and bought

banjoscotty - Posted - 10/18/2018:  03:06:22

a ticket to Palm Springs.

He was late getting

OM45GE - Posted - 10/18/2018:  05:02:37

to the bus station and just barely got on the bus before it left.

He sat down next to

chuckv97 - Posted - 10/18/2018:  05:51:06

a retired druggist who had hit on hard times.

His tale of woe

Ga-PorchPicker - Posted - 10/18/2018:  06:05:49

nearly bored me to death so I changed seats.

And the next thing you know

banjoscotty - Posted - 10/18/2018:  09:04:54

I had fallen asleep.

But I woke to a terrable

banjoscotty - Posted - 10/19/2018:  02:36:00

thunderstorm with heavy winds.

There was nothing

OM45GE - Posted - 10/19/2018:  03:30:09

to be seen looking out the window so I turned to check out my seat mate.

Imagine my surprise when I realized
