Musical Humorous Interlude

.
I just came back from a hectic, stressful one-week business trip, and to relax, I felt that music alone won't do it. I felt in the mood for somewhat frivolous entertainment ... a little bit of sillyness ...

Back in the 70s and 80s, I loved the music of the group Queen (especially when Freddy Mercury was the lead singer). Some of Queen's classics include "We are the champions", "Crazy little thing called love", "We will rock you" and of course "Bohemian Rhapsody" (which in my view is probably the best rock/pop song of all time).

Back then, I also enjoyed various humorous shows on TV, like the Muppets (created by the late Jim Henson). Ok, ok ... I did enjoy a bit of "Sesame Street" when no one was watching too.

So for this post, I decided to combine the two genres and let you enjoy the following two videoclips. Do remember to turn up the speaker volume ...




Now wasn't that just brilliant?

What about this other number, which i'm sure you've also heard before?

Don't knock it. This went to number #1 on the UK Pop charts in 1977.

Ahhhhhh .... I feel much better now ....

Enjoy.

Going Upmarket - Poetry Sharing

It's probably time to show some "classiness" on this blog, and what better to do so than sharing some poetry.

Leo Sia came across and shared these poetry classics - two-line rhymes from The Washington Post competition. The organizers asked for a TWO LINE RHYME, with the MOST romantic first line, and the LEAST romantic second line.

Caution: Don't read further if you don't have a strong sense of humour. You have been warned :-)

Here are some of the entries ...

1. I see your face when I am dreaming,
That's why I always wake up screaming

2. My darling, my lover, my beautiful wife,
Marrying you has screwed up my life

3. Kind, intelligent, loving and hot,
This describes everything you are not

4. Love may be beautiful, love may be bliss,
But I only slept with you 'cause I was pissed.

5. I thought that I could love no other
-- that is until I met your brother.

6. Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet, and so areyou.
But the roses are wilting, the violets are dead, the sugar bowl's empty & so's your head.

7. I want to feel your sweet embrace;
But don't take that paper bag off your face.

8. I love your smile, your face, and your eyes
Damn, I'm good at telling lies!

9. My love, you take my breath away.
What have you stepped on to smell this way?

10. My feelings for you no words can tell,
Except for maybe 'Go to hell.'

11. What inspired this amorous rhyme?
Two parts vodka, one part lime!


Thanks for this selection, Leo ! Who said Poetry is boring?

However, we're not advising you borrow any of these lines for your next Valentine's Day ;-)

How Fights Always Start ...

Thanks to our old form mate George Lo for this contribution on the lighter side of inter-spousal conflict ...

**********

My wife sat down on the couch next to me as I was flipping channels.
She asked, 'What's on TV?'
I said, 'Dust.'

And then the fight started...

**********

My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary.
She said, 'I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in about 3 seconds.'
I bought her a scale.

And then the fight started...

**********

When I got home last night,
my wife demanded that I take her someplace expensive...
so, I took her to a gas station.

And then the fight started...

**********

After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security.
The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's license to verify my age.
I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home.
I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later.
The woman said, 'Unbutton your shirt'.
So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair.
She said, 'That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me' and she processed my Social Security application.
When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office.
She said, 'You should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten disability, too.'

And then the fight started...

**********

My wife and I were sitting at a table at my high school reunion,
and I kept staring at a drunken lady swigging her drink as she sat alone at a nearby table.
My wife asked, 'Do you know her?'
'Yes,' I sighed, 'She's my old girlfriend. I understand she took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear she hasn't been sober since.'
'My God!' says my wife, 'who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?'

And then the fight started...

**********

I took my wife to a restaurant.
The waiter, for some reason, took my order first.
"I'll have the strip steak, medium rare, please."
He said, "Aren't you worried about the mad cow?"
" Nah, she can order for herself."

And then the fight started...

**********

A woman is standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror.
She is not happy with what she sees
and says to her husband, 'I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a compliment.'
The husband replies, 'Your eyesight's damn near perfect.'

And then the fight started.....

**********

I tried to talk my wife into buying a case of Miller Light for $14.95.
Instead, she bought a jar of cold cream for $7.95.
I told her the beer would make her look better at night than the cold cream.

And then the fight started....

**********

My wife asked me if a certain dress made her butt look big.
I told her not as much as the dress she wore yesterday

and then the fight started.....

**********

I asked my wife, "Where do you want to go for our anniversary? "
It warmed my heart to see her face melt in sweet appreciation.
"Somewhere I haven't been in a long time!" she said.
So I suggested, "How about the kitchen?"

And that's when the fight started....

**********

One for the road:

A man came home and found and found his wife standing at the door in the buff.

Man: What are you doing?
Wife: I am waiting for you in my love dress.
Man: Your love dress needs some ironing.

Then the fight starts…


Thanks George. Hopefully these are not from experience :-)
