Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
We're continuing with our theme of gloomy blues ballads today. It seems only appropriate so close to Thanksgiving. You know how it is, you can't appreciate the happy moments if you don't know the sad.....
BONUS #1 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-JOUyQtX0w - You've Changed - Billie Holiday
BONUS #2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXBpVctOEVw - You've Changed - Sarah Vaughan, 1960
BONUS #3 -

- You've Changed - Ligia Piro - Hmmm - she could have a bit of a problem
here; she's singing, "No need to tell me that we're through, It's all over
now," and she appears to be rather preggers..... It reminds me of a cartoon I
saw in a magazine at least 50 years ago of an obviously pregnant Juliet standing
on her balcony, and mournfully pleading, "O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou,
Romeo?"
BONUS #4 -

George Michael
- My Favorite Version! This proves it. I live in a Dixie cup.
I never heard of this man with the sensuous voice. I thought
George-Michael
was a character on
"Arrested Development".....

Little Things that Make a Big
Difference It's the little things that
count, it's true. We, all of us, have myriad opportunities every day to
imbue the little things in our lives with enough power to make a big
difference. It's easy, and it's fun. In the process, you'll gain goodwill,
confidence and karma points. Ready? |

FINALLY: From
ArcaMax Jokes - 11/19/09:
Commuting
This is a transcript between a commuter and the railroad company, regarding
services of the latter.
"Gentlemen: I have been riding trains daily for the last twenty-two years, and
the service on your line seems to be getting worse every day. I am tired of
standing in the aisle all the time on a 14-mile trip. I think your
transportation system is worse than that enjoyed by people 2,000 years ago.
Yours truly, A Commuter"
The Reply to the above:
"Dear Sir: We received your letter with reference to the shortcomings of our
service and believe you are somewhat confused in your history. The only mode of
transportation 2,000 years ago was by foot. Sincerely, Western Railways"
And the Counter-Reply was:
"Gentlemen: I am in receipt of your letter, and I think you are the ones who are
confused in your history. If you will refer to the Bible, Book of David, 9th
Chapter, you will find that Balaam rode to town 'seated' on his donkey... That,
gentlemen, is something I have not been able to do on your train in the last
twenty-two years! Yours truly, A Long 'Standing' Commuter"
WAIT a minute! There IS no book of David in the Bible! I thought this might refer to Psalms (i.e., "the Psalms of David"), but the ninth chapter does not mention Balaam. In fact, the only mentions of Balaam that I could find at all are in Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Nehemiah, Micah, II Peter, Jude, and Revelation. And I found nothing that even mildly sounds like this sentence. But maybe it's just me...... NO, WAIT! Here it is:
"And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab."
- Numbers. 22: 21 (KJV)
"Nevermind!"
But there's still no such thing as the ninth chapter of David.....
*************
Fast Old Ladies
Sitting on the highway waiting to catch speeders, a state police officer saw a
car puttering along at 22 M.P.H. He thinks to himself, that car is just as
dangerous as a speeder. So, he turns his lights on and pulls the car over.
Approaching the car, he notices there are five old ladies, two at the front and
three at the back, wide eyed and looking like ghosts.
The driver obviously confused said, "Officer, I don't understand, I wasn't doing
over the speed limit!, What seems to be the problem?"
"Ma'am," the officer said, "you should know that driving slower than the speed limit can also be dangerous".
"Slower than the speed limit? NO SIR! I was doing exactly 22 miles an hour," the
old woman said proudly.
The officer containing a chuckle explains that 22 was the route number, not the
speed limit. A bit embarrassed, the woman grinned, thanking the officer for
pointing out her error.
"Before I go Ma'am, I have to ask, is everyone OK? These women seem badly shaken and haven't uttered a word all this time."
"Oh! they will be alright in a minute, Officer, we just got off Route 142."

You've Changed
<Written and Composed by Carl Fischer and Bill Carey, 1941
I've an awful feeling
That this thought that's been a stealing
Through my brain
Is not to be ignored
But to really tell the truth
Though I'm not a well known sleuth
I honestly believe that you are bored
You've changed
That sparkle in your eyes is gone
Your smile is just a careless yawn
You're breaking my heart
You've changed
You've changed
Your kisses now are so blasé
You're bored with me in every way
I can't understand
You've changed
You've forgotten the words, "I love you"
Each memory that we've shared
You ignore every star above you
I can't realize you've ever cared
You've changed
You're not the angel I once knew
No need to tell me that we're through
It's all over now
You've changed
