Patsy Cline

A beautiful THURSDAY here…

Today is Constitution Day, a public holiday in Andorra. Dia de la Constitució commemorates the constitutional referendum that was held in the sixth-smallest nation in Europe on this day in 1993. Since the 13th century, Andorra was ruled jointly by two ‘princes’ – the leader of France and the Spanish Bishop of Urgell. The first Constitution of Andorra, the supreme law of the Principality, was approved by 74.2% of voters in a referendum on March 14th 1993.

Bada Bing!

Twenty-eight years ago, Herman James, a Tennessee mountain man, was drafted by the Army. 

On his first day in boot camp, the Army issued him a comb. That afternoon, an Army barber sheared his head. On his second day, the Army issued him a toothbrush. That afternoon, an Army dentist yanked several of his teeth. On his third day, he was issued a jock strap… The Army is still looking for him.

I still think “nonfungible” sounds like it means “cannot be turned into a mushroom”.

I’ve been ordering a cheeseburger and fries at my bank drive-through every week for a year and they STILL don’t think it’s funny.

Have we checked all foods to see if exploding them makes them into something better or did we just stop with corn?

You’re riding a horse full speed, there’s a giraffe beside you, and you’re being chased by a lion. What do you do? Just enjoy the merry-go-round ride.

I’ve always wanted to learn how to swim, but it’s never been more than 30 minutes since my last meal.

Stop crying about your problems on the internet. Bottle them up inside you and disguise them with dark inappropriate humor like a grown up.

My favorite time of year is when all the mosquitoes are dead.

Today is the birthday, in 1932, of Patsy Cline.

Stereotyping…

Since Putin is such a raging homophobe, people have started photoshopping him with rainbows.

Putin loves rainbows.
Putin loves rainbows.
Putin loves rainbows.
Putin loves rainbows.

Do you suppose the run on Ivermectin has been caused by Republicans who have finally decided to get serious about global worming?

In retrospect, hiding all the microchips in Horse Dewormer was a stroke of genius.

The spouse and I took up woodworking.A friend said he didn’t know we were carpenters.I said, “We’ve only just begun”.

When I was in school, I had a second-hand calculator that had no multiplication button.I tell you, times were hard back then.

Do you remember, before the internet, that it was thought that the cause of collective stupidity was the lack of access to information?Well, it wasn’t that!

Due to the internet, stupidity has just gone public.

When people want to be stupid they always found a way to be stupid, Internet or not.

How many terrorists are there in Afghanistan now? We don’t know because we can’t count them. There’s a tally ban.

I’m not sure how many cookies it takes to be happy but so far it’s not 27.

The Roomba vacuum cleaner just beat me to a piece of popcorn I dropped on the floor, This is how the war against the machines begins.

A new scientific study claims that fertility is hereditary. If your parents didn’t have any children, chances are you won’t either.

I went to an antique auction and people started bidding on me.

A newly married man asked his wife, “Would you have married me if my father hadn’t left me a fortune?”“Honey,” his wife replied, “I’d have married you, no matter who left you a fortune.”

I came home tonight to find out someone had broken into my home.Seems the only things that were taken were light bulbs. I was delighted.

Today is the birthday, in 1932 in Winchester, Virginia, of Virginia Patterson Hensley, also known as ‘Ginny’. She was one of the most influential vocalists of the 20th century and one of the first country music artists to successfully cross over into pop music under her stage name – Patsy Cline.

On this day in 1963, Patsy Cline and three others were killed in a plane crash. She was an amazing talent and a ground-breaker for women in country music; she was one of the first to sell records and headline concerts. This song was released shortly after her death.

Actually I’ve been to two of these places.

Punny Business!

One sunny day in late January 2021 an old man approached the White House from across Pennsylvania Avenue, where he’d been sitting on a park bench.  He spoke to the U.S. Marine standing guard and said, “I would like to go in and meet with President Trump.” The Marine looked at the man and said, “Sir, Mr. Trump is no longer President and no longer resides here.” The old man said, “Okay”, and walked away. The following day, the same man approached the White House and said to the same Marine, “I would like to go in and meet with President Trump.” The Marine repeated, “Sir, as I told you yesterday, Mr. Trump is no longer President and no longer resides here.” The man thanked him and, again, just walked away. The third day, the old man approached the White House and spoke to the very same U.S. Marine, saying again, “I would like to go in and meet with President Trump.” The Marine, understandably irritated at this point, looked at the man and said, “Sir, this is the third day in a row you’ve been here asking to speak to Trump. I’ve told you each time that he’s no longer the President and no longer resides here. Don’t you get it?” The old man looked at the Marine and said, “Oh, I understand. I just love hearing it.” The Marine snapped to attention and said, “See you tomorrow, Sir!”

On this day in 1960, Patsy Cline recorded ‘I Fall to Pieces’ which would become a number one hit on the Country Charts. I’m not really a country fan but I love Patsy Cline.
