Teddy Bears Picnic

“It's hard to visualize the toys you had fifty years ago - all save bear.
He's as clear as if he were sitting on the desk in front of you...
of course...he probably is.”

 - Pam Brown
(b. 1948)

Something is very wrong with this test.....It said I was smart!!!  Duh!!!!

When it says you only have 8 seconds to answer the question, they aren't kidding!
Re-taking the test mixes up the questions so you can't gain anything there.

This is VERY FAST, so be prepared.  You only have 8 seconds for each question.

Mooning the mayor--lol
Henry Del Toro a.k.a "The Bull" (d. 2002)--Thank you for making my youth so much more enjoyable! You may be gone, but not forgotten. Somewhere in heaven he has some angels laughing, no doubt.

When I went to get my second cat from the Norfolk SPCA, I saw the woman's name tag read Kathy. Upon seeing this I asked, "Are you the infamous one eyed crazy glassed eyed Kathy?" She laughed her head off and told me, "Give me the damn cat back!", proceeded to hand me my Jasmine. and told me, "no other questions were necessary."  Eternal Kudos -Sorry to hear of your untimely death.

Breakfast

A traveling salesman went down to the hotel restaurant for breakfast on the second morning of his latest business trip. After being seated by the hostess, he waved off the menu, apparently quite sure of what he hungered for that morning. After all, this was to be a fateful day, as he was close to "clinching the deal" and wanted to head into his client's office with confidence, exuberance, and enthusiasm.

He was full of self-assuredness and greeted the young waitress with a great big smile. "I'll have 2 eggs, please. But I want one of them just about room temperature and the other can be warm but must be runny." The waitress was getting all this down but was wondering where this was going.

"Toast... it doesn't matter what kind, just make sure that it gets cold so that the butter will just sit on it and not melt. Water down my orange juice, too, please... let's say half water and half juice. It really doesn't matter whether you bring any coffee. I usually like 2 or 3 cups in the morning. One won't do so you might as well skip it altogether."

"But, sir," said the waitress, confused, "I don't think our kitchen can put this together the way you like it!"

"Oh, I don't like it that way, but it shouldn't be a problem. That's exactly how you served it yesterday!"

A Helping Hand2

It was the perfect weather for a walk the other day. It was that beautiful time of the year right between the end of Winter and the start of Spring. Cool breezes tickled my face while the rising sun quickly burnt away the morning fog. Birds were starting to sing their love songs again and to build nests for their future young. My heavy coat had been traded for a light jacket. The grass was still moist from the freshly melted snow and the Maples and oaks seemed to be deep in thought over whether to send out their buds now or wait a few more weeks.

I walked along the edge of the woods and gazed up at the bright, blue sky. As I was thanking God for another glorious morning, however, a sad sound reached my ears. It was a mewing that sounded like a newborn kitten. I looked around on the ground but couldn’t see one anywhere. Then I noticed that the crying seemed to be coming from above and glanced up into the trees. I soon spotted him. It was no kitten but a full grown tomcat who had let Spring fever get the best of him. He had scaled an oak like it was nothing but was now too scared to climb back down.

I knew I couldn’t leave him up there but wondered if I would need a ladder to get to him. I decided to let my boyhood tree climbing skills guide me instead. Grasping the rough branches I slowly made my way up to the cat. Then cradling him in one arm I lowered myself down again and safely let him go. He gave me a quick thank you glance and then scurried off. I smiled as I watched him go then headed for home with scraped up hands but a warm heart.

Few things in this life make you feel better than offering a helping hand to someone in need. It connects you with God. It brings you closer to others. It helps you become who you were meant to be. The next time then that you get a chance to give someone a hand up or in the cat’s case a hand down take it. A helping hand like a loving heart always leads to a happy soul.

   Thanks, Shari!

        From David Whitley ('67) of VA - 03/10/10 - "Oh my... I actually find this funny! (#6 in a Series of 9)":

What to do when really bored...

1. Kill a few flies

2. Put them in the sun to dry for one hour.

3. Once they are dry, pick a pencil and paper... Let your imagination flow.

Here are a few examples...
 
 

 
  So do I! Thanks, Gorgeous!

 From ArcaMax Jokes - 03/23/10:

Eating Strawberries

A farmer was driving along the road with a load of fertilizer. A child playing in front of his house saw him and called, "What are you hauling?"

"Fertilizer," the farmer replied.

"What are you going to do with it?" asked the child.

"Put it on strawberries," answered the farmer.

"You ought to live here," the child advised him.

"We put sugar and cream on them."

Teddy Bears Picnic

Music by John Walter Bratton (1907), with lyrics added later by the prolific songwriter Jimmy Kennedy (1913)


If you go out in the woods today
You're sure of a big surprise.
If you go out in the woods today
You'd better go in disguise.

For every bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain, because
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic.

Picnic time for teddy bears,
The little teddy bears are having a lovely time today.
Watch them, catch them unawares,
And see them picnic on their holiday.
See them gaily dance about.
They love to play and shout.
And never have any cares.
At six o'clock their mommies and daddies
Will take them home to bed
Because they're tired little teddy bears.

If you go out in the woods today,
You'd better not go alone.
It's lovely out in the woods today,
But safer to stay at home.

For every bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain, because
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic

CHORUS

Every teddy bear, that's been good
Is sure of a treat today
There's lots of wonderful things to eat
And wonderful games to play

Beneath the trees, where nobody sees
They'll hide and seek as long as they please
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic

CHORUS
