I’m not, not saying she’s not sane.

One time

chuckv97 - Posted - 06/24/2022:  05:31:29

she came home with a motorcycle sidecar.

Trouble was, she

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 06/24/2022:  07:19:46

didn’t own a motorcycle.

So she made the sidecar into

OM45GE - Posted - 06/25/2022:  12:50:23

a bobsled and started training for the Winter Olympics.

She expected

chuckv97 - Posted - 06/26/2022:  02:27:56

major sponsorship money from Harley-Davidson.

After no replies from

OM45GE - Posted - 06/26/2022:  03:30:17

the folks In Milwaukee, she decided to seek alternative sources of funds.

First she

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 06/26/2022:  04:44:57

contacted people in Cleveland.

She didn’t know why but

chuckv97 - Posted - 06/26/2022:  09:58:36

someone had told her there were “fans of sidecar” associations there.

However, those societies

OM45GE - Posted - 06/27/2022:  03:09:13

were highly selective in admitting new members.

New applicants had to prove

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 06/27/2022:  04:48:21

they were worthy of membership consideration.

The sun beat down mercilessly

chuckv97 - Posted - 06/27/2022:  06:03:51

as farm workers hoed in the tobacco field.

from lack of hydration and shade was taking its toll.

The field foreman

OM45GE - Posted - 06/27/2022:  18:02:33

was back in the office with the bosses wife.

They were

chuckv97 - Posted - 06/27/2022:  21:12:33

doing the hootchy-koo near the air conditioner.

Just then

OM45GE - Posted - 06/28/2022:  02:45:39

the door burst open.

They were surprised to see

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 06/28/2022:  05:41:47

an Elvis impersonator singing You Ain’t Nothing but a Hound Dog.

Well, you can imagine

OM45GE - Posted - 06/28/2022:  12:43:37

their surprise when he turned out to be the real Elvis.

It seems he had been

chuckv97 - Posted - 06/28/2022:  13:00:49

hiding out in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan for years and years.

No one there was culturally hip

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 06/28/2022:  14:48:08

and never new the background story of the Moose Jaw Warriors singing goalie.



Turns out

Elvis was a decent skater and had cat like reflexes.



He even

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 06/29/2022:  10:29:30

special ordered blue suede skates which complimented team uniforms.

They say time

chuckv97 - Posted - 06/29/2022:  10:49:43

takes its toll, even on Jack LaLanne disciples.

On his 90th birthday

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 06/29/2022:  11:02:00

he insisted on marble birthday cake with chocolate frosting.

He even wore

OM45GE - Posted - 06/29/2022:  11:37:20

his yellow sports jacket and black slacks from Viva Las Vegas.

It was a matter of

chuckv97 - Posted - 06/29/2022:  22:01:03

time before his fans caught on to his fraudulent hijinks.

He started a foundation

OM45GE - Posted - 06/30/2022:  02:54:39

for the preservation of the peanut butter, banana and bacon sandwich and solicited donations of the ingredients for “research” purposes.

It was obvious

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 06/30/2022:  06:16:26

that he had become unhinged and delusional.

Eventually he

chuckv97 - Posted - 06/30/2022:  08:03:31

took up tiddly winks as a therapeutic activity.

His former cronies

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 06/30/2022:  16:05:36

have taken to playing checkers in city square park.

They

OM45GE - Posted - 07/01/2022:  03:26:17

take the game very seriously.

Several fights have

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 07/01/2022:  08:07:30

been avoided simply because they all have short spans of attention.

It’s tough

chuckv97 - Posted - 07/01/2022:  09:16:06

when your butcher gives you gristle and only a slight bit of meat.

I rarely argue

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 07/01/2022:  11:21:50

with my spouse because it creates a no win situation.

My late first ex-wife

chuckv97 - Posted - 07/01/2022:  17:15:17

is at the bottom of Lake Erie.

She got drunk while fishing

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 07/02/2022:  04:16:03

, claimed there was treasure at the bottom of the lake and dove in.

Since then

OM45GE - Posted - 07/03/2022:  04:09:17

she’s not been seen around these parts.

Folks have been speculating that she

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 07/03/2022:  06:09:52

faked her drowning and is alive and living with Elvis in Saskatoon.

Most evenings

chuckv97 - Posted - 07/03/2022:  10:51:45

are whiled away avoiding the blues.

The bar down the street

OM45GE - Posted - 07/03/2022:  17:40:42

has an open mic night.

I’ve played there a few times, but

chuckv97 - Posted - 07/03/2022:  18:12:18

people boo and hiss after hearing whiny teen-angst songs like Heart Of Gold for the umpteenth time.

I should learn

OM45GE - Posted - 07/03/2022:  19:22:21

more drinking songs as those seem to go over well.

The problem is

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 07/04/2022:  07:55:10

I can’t play raucous country blues whiskey and beer drinking songs on my open back, frailing scooped, long neck banjo.

I’ll probably

chuckv97 - Posted - 07/04/2022:  09:31:07

just go back to busking at the flea market.

My fans there

OM45GE - Posted - 07/04/2022:  19:34:13

may be few in number but they are huge in enthusiasm.

They once took the

chuckv97 - Posted - 07/04/2022:  21:44:56

tip jar and filled it with PetSmart coupons.

Trouble is,

OM45GE - Posted - 07/05/2022:  03:29:34

my group home doesn’t allow pets.

They say that

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 07/05/2022:  09:00:27

bestiality has been a problem in the past.

I have a hunch Wally in room 208

chuckv97 - Posted - 07/05/2022:  09:20:14

humps the sheep nightly at farmer John’s pasture.

He rarely walks in

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 07/05/2022:  11:45:55

straight lines because his left leg is shorter than the right causing him to circle left.
