friends with someone else, I couldn't wrap my mind around that.

I found some new friends

in, of all places, Paris, MO, which is reachable only by obscure back roads.

Once there, I

chuckv97 - Posted - 03/10/2020:  17:21:57

pitched my tent ,built a fire, and summoned all with my moose call.

Who showed up but

Bill Rogers - Posted - 03/11/2020:  00:41:00

Bullwinkle, Rocky and the gang.

Then Boris Badenov

OM45GE - Posted - 03/11/2020:  03:22:44

and Natasha started arguing.

The disagreed about

chuckv97 - Posted - 03/11/2020:  03:44:27

the price of tea in China.

Their brouhaha went viral on antisocial media

OM45GE - Posted - 03/11/2020:  03:58:06

and a photo of them arguing was briefly popular as a meme.

They didn’t understand

5B-Ranch - Posted - 03/11/2020:  07:09:11

how something so trivial would become an iconic symbol of discord.

Interesting fact

OM45GE - Posted - 03/11/2020:  10:55:45

is something people say right before they launch into something of great interest to them.

Whether you are interested or not, they

Peter Vipulis - Posted - 03/11/2020:  10:57:53

usually point their finger upward and squint.

I would never

OM45GE - Posted - 03/11/2020:  10:58:55

look up just because someone points that way.

The last time I did, a

chuckv97 - Posted - 03/11/2020:  11:05:20

seagull made a deposit in m eye.

I’ve seen them overwhelm A&W parking lots

OM45GE - Posted - 03/11/2020:  11:11:23

which says something about their eating habits.

They also frequent

Peter Vipulis - Posted - 03/11/2020:  11:34:48

beaches where losing gamblers mumble away.

Not everyone who mumbles gambles

chuckv97 - Posted - 03/11/2020:  11:39:32

but those who ramble gamble.

My brother had a rambling disorder

Bill Rogers - Posted - 03/11/2020:  12:42:43

so his theme song was Woody Guthrie’s “Rambling Blues.”

Woody’s song output was such that

Peter Vipulis - Posted - 03/11/2020:  13:17:33

it was as if the founding fathers were singing.

If he could, I'd imagine George Washington would play a banjo

5B-Ranch - Posted - 03/11/2020:  13:32:44

or maybe I should have said would have played the banjo since he's long gone from this life.



Silly me

You will have to

chuckv97 - Posted - 03/11/2020:  14:56:41

buy me a hamburger today and I’ll pay you next Tuesday.

My IOU is like gold

Peter Vipulis - Posted - 03/11/2020:  17:21:33

which is a better bet than cruise line stock.

What's in your wallet

OM45GE - Posted - 03/11/2020:  17:31:11

can reveal a lot about you.

That’s why I never

Peter Vipulis - Posted - 03/11/2020:  17:48:30

put my marble collection in my wallet.

If I was at the cash register

Bill Rogers - Posted - 03/11/2020:  21:45:53

I’d surely lose my marbles.

Those old agates are worth

chuckv97 - Posted - 03/11/2020:  21:58:33

less than a prewar Martin.

We won’t be visiting Nazareth

Peter Vipulis - Posted - 03/12/2020:  06:26:44

unless you have a private plane.

Picking a banjo is far less expensive

OM45GE - Posted - 03/12/2020:  06:55:56

than buying a private jet.

It also doesn’t

chuckv97 - Posted - 03/12/2020:  07:20:00

My oregano and toilet paper supply

OM45GE - Posted - 03/12/2020:  07:29:03

are getting low so I may have to forgo Italian cooking and using the bathroom.

Even worse,

Peter Vipulis - Posted - 03/12/2020:  08:13:18

the oil fracking has contaminated my water supply.

Where does a person have to go

OM45GE - Posted - 03/12/2020:  09:57:04

to get a little quality of life?

I tried living in

Peter Vipulis - Posted - 03/12/2020:  10:14:59

a penthouse on 5th ave, and I admit that was good.

But when the first months rent came due

OM45GE - Posted - 03/12/2020:  10:44:09

I realized my housing budged only covered three days a year.

That clearly wasn't

chuckv97 - Posted - 03/12/2020:  11:17:18

making my landlord happy.



He suggested I go live in a nice dumpster in the Bronx

I waved goodbye and drove away. A Honda hit me from behind, so I wiped off my rear bumper.

But not before calling an ambulance

roxygrl - Posted - 03/13/2020:  09:27:35

for my adorable cat..
when we arrived..

OM45GE - Posted - 03/13/2020:  10:36:11

at the veterinary hospital they said the cat looked fine and I should stop worrying.

I said I wanted a second opinion and

chuckv97 - Posted - 03/13/2020:  10:41:53

drove over to Dr. Subversiff’s office.

He was experimenting on Beagles

Bill Rogers - Posted - 03/13/2020:  14:19:46

using a technique he’d learned in Russia.

He said my cat

Peter Vipulis - Posted - 03/13/2020:  16:19:13

would now answer when called.

I was stunned

Bill Rogers - Posted - 03/13/2020:  19:06:50

because calling her had previously worked only when food was in the offing.

But, sure enough, now

OM45GE - Posted - 03/14/2020:  04:17:50

when I ask her what 2 minus 2 is she says nothing!
