Sunday joke and thinking thinking all the time.




Ole and Sven were fishing one day when Sven pulled out a cigar. Finding he had no matches, he asked Ole for a light.

'Ya, shure, I haff a lighter,' he replied, and then, reaching into his tackle box, he pulled out a Bic lighter 10 inches long.

'Yiminy Cricket!' exclaimed Sven, taking the huge Bic lighter in his hands. 'Vere dit yew git dat monster??'

'Vell,' replied Ole, 'I got it from my Genie.'

'You haff a Genie?' Sven asked..

'Ya, shure. It's right here in my tackle box,' says Ole.

'Could I see him?'

Ole opens his tackle box and sure enough, out pops the Genie.

Addressing the genie, Sven says, 'Hey dere! I'm a good friend of your master. Vill you grant me vun vish?'

'Yes, I will,' says the Genie.

So Sven asks the Genie for a million bucks.
The Genie disappears back into the tackle box leaving Sven sitting there waiting for his million bucks.

Shortly, the sky darkens and is filled with the sound of a million ducks... flying directly overhead...
Over the roar of the million ducks, Sven yells at Ole, 'Yumpin' Yimminy, I asked for a million bucks, not a million ducks!'
Ole answers, 'Ya, I forgot to tell yew dat da Genie is hart of hearing. Do yew really tink I asked for a 10-inch Bic?"

Some training thoughts.
I have been walking around and around the track. There are several things I would like to share. The first thing... I noticed some old bed springs at the track. I thought why did someone dump bed springs here? Well, several days later as I was walking here comes a truck. He hooks up the bed springs and round and round he goes. It did a great job. If you are lucky you learn something everyday. Several days later I watched the track meet for a bit. The next thing... I walked my first 5 miles yesterday. I walk at the gym too but walking outside is different. As Linda said yesterday in her journal the birds were about and nature is cool.(Let me know if you want her journal address & I will get her approval. Linda is a much better writer that I am. You need to be signed up with her to get her updates.) As I walk I am not plugged into anything or watching TV like at the gym. It's really amazing where your mind ends up! The other day I was thinking about my neck coolies that I am making for the 3day. (THE ENTRY TOMORROW WILL SHOW THE COOLIES.) I decided I needed a company name..(right, me and me is the company)but I came up with PINK BUTTON INC., unofficially so far. I ordered the buttons yesterday. They will be my signature. Every artist signs their work you know! So my coolies will have a pink button. Plus, everything else I make from this day forward.
Amen. It is Sunday... :0-)

  2. Great entry! So glad you're enjoying your walks. I got a kick out of the bed springs - my daddy used to say "If you're not careful, you'll learn something new every day!"
