OT A story!!

In ancient times there was a community known as the Goodnu's. As all communities did in these times the Goodnu's lived right on the river bank for trading, transportation and sustenance. Water was almighty and worshipped as a God. One day there was a tremendous hurricane far out in the ocean. It's ferocity blew a large flock of "Foo" birds way off course sending them inland many hundreds of miles and in the vicinity of the Goodnu's community. The Goodnu people had never seen a "Foo" bird and were quite curious as to it's sudden and obviously evil presence. The "Foo" bird, as we all know, is a very ugly, evil-looking bird. This caused the Goodnu people to become very uneasy believing they did something wrong to God and that this bird should be avoided. One day a "Foo" bird flew overhead and screeched: "Foo, Foo" and shit on a Goodnu's head. The man ran screaming into the river believing the Holy powers of the river would cleanse him of this evil turd and its consequences. As soon as the man washed this unholy turd from his ear canal he suddenly keeled over and died. The Goodnu's were now convinced of the "Foo" bird's evilness. The next day a woman was outside and heard: "Foo, Foo". Before she could react the "Foo" bird dropped a bomb landing a syrupy turd across her face. Shocked and panicked she ran into the river furiously washing her face of this sloppy stew. The village watched in horror as this woman also died once cleansed of the runny turd. The very next day a village wiseman heard those famous words: "Foo, Foo". He like others had witnessed the terrible deaths of two of his villages' people in the last two days. He too was struck right in the forehead by the "Foo" birds accurately guided turd missile. His first reaction was confusion and he sprinted towards the river. However, he stopped short and thought of his obvious demise should he cleanse the turd wafer from his forehead. He did not cleanse the poo pile from his forehead and lived. So the wiseman went to the other people of the village, gathered them around and stated to them: "There is an obvious lesson here my good people. The moral of this story is: 'If the Foo s**ts, wear it.'"

I remeber my mom telling me that one when I was little, I thought it was hilarious! Here's another one she told right after the Foo story:

A man was driving through the countryside one day when he ran out of gas. As he sat in his car contemplating the long walk to the nearest gas station, a honeybee flew up to his window. The man looked out and the honeybee said, "Roll down your window." The man refused, fearing the honeybee would sting him. "Roll down your window, I just want to talk to you," said the bee. So the man rolled down the window a crack. "What's the problem?" asked the honeybee. The man told the honeybee he'd run out of gas and would have to walk to a gas station. The honeybee said, "open the tank and I'll check it out." The man opened his gas tank, the honeybee flew in, came back out and said he knew just how to help and he'd be right back. He returned with a few friends, they all flew into the tank and buzzed around for a few minutes. When the honeybee came back out he told the man, "Start it up." "Huh?!" "Start your car up," said the honeybee. So, the man got in, turned the key, and lo and behold the car started right up. "What did you put in there?" he asked the honeybee. The honeybee responded........................... .................... ................... .......................... ............................Bee Pee!

Cute, I think :-) Let me know if you wanna hear the one about the knights and the yellow fingers, hehe! Sara

It must be an American thing because I remember it from my school days. But really funny stories and jokes hold up so well over the years that they're worth repeating every so often.

Thanks Pat,

Yup I am top-posting for once.

We were lucky because the line of storms ran about 30-40 miles north of us, in a north-easterly direction. Lucille will be great, because she is south-east of me. Of course, another line can still come through! I have friends in the Villages, and I suspect they will be fine. I tried to telephone them, but there was an automated message telling me that lines were busy with emergency messages. That makes good sense!!

Jim answered the phone this afternoon, and said he thought Cheryl has called, but he didn't get the name (???sigh). If it was anyone else from this group, we appreciate the care, and are all hunky dory!!

Hugs

I know for a fact that you're *not* a zillion years old, because then I'd be 3/4 of a zillion years old! And neither of us looks it! :)

Glad to hear you're safe...I just caught the tail end of the report last night and didn't see where in FL it was.
