The BEST thing about not giving a S**t is that it requires no special clothes. ~ IMBAC

He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else.

Happy Father's Day
Here is a saying my father (now 87) used to roust me from bed mornings.
"Up the dusty ladder goes the boy!"

When Dad was a lad, his father ran a livery stable here in our hometown, and mornings it was Dad's first job to climb the "dusty ladder" to the hayloft and throw down hay for the stock's morning feeding.

My grandfather raced pacers and trotters, and I can well remember feeling important sleeping on hay bales in a reserved stall at a fair or racetrack with the horses bedded down in stalls on either side.

I can only imagine what he would think of the accomodations in my Airstream...or the Internet and computers. He passed Christmas, 1952.

My wife says I don't listen to her....or something like that.

Don't talk about it, you might wake it up.

345bill, that Gunsmoke comment reminds me of something I heard about 30 years ago.

"If your brain was to roll down the edge of a butter knife, it'd be like a BB going down a 6 lane highway!"

Useful comment when someone freaky comes into view:

Oh-oh! The fence at the circus is down again.

This is probably no revelation to anyone but me, but I was tickled a few days ago when I heard the expression "TRAMP STAMP" used in reference to the tatoo some young ladies have on the small of their back, just above their bums.

Perhaps there's some validity here?

I haven't heard the expression "tramp stamp" used before. I suppose it would depend upon what exactly the Japaneese/Chineese characters mean that some of them have tattoed on.

My father was so disorganized, he was late to his own funeral.
