Friend: Faye, are you ok hun? Faye: I'm fine why do you ask? Friend: Because you didn't say one word on that two-hour road trip. Faye: So why is that important? Friend: Because that breaks your previous record by two hours!
We took a great road trip earlier in the month. Went up through the Georgia mountains into North Narrowlina. Checked out Franklin as a possible place to buy a summer place. Used Cherokee as a base for day trips. We had a great couple of trips into the Great Smokey Mountains National Park to see the elk and hear them "bugle" (unbelievably eerie sound), and some trips to Fontana Dam and Bryson City.
Sounds like yall had a great time,Georgia is my home state Atlanta area mostly ,mountains is my old stomping grounds.Or the foothills we call most of the lower ones.
I got one: I was at a Chinese buffet with friends, and when we were done we got our check and our fortune cookies. As you know, the back of the fortunes often say "Learn To Speak Chinese," and have a word in English with its Chinese equivalent underneath. My word (actually words) was Pot Sticker. So always wanting to learn something new, I called over one of the young Chinese girls who was clearing tables, pointed to the word, and asked her how to pronounce it. She took the fortune, went over to a couple of her coworkers, they huddled for a minute, she came back, handed me my fortune, looked me in the eyes, and in a slow deliberate voice said "Pawt Stickuh." We all cracked up, and I thanked her. I never did learn that word, but I have had a teenage Chinese girl teach me some English.
Just a bit ago. I was eating a sandwich ,while hubby was looking for the cookies I bought hour before. Once again told him where they were. He mumbled something and my response was - I have learned you only pay attention to the things I say if you find them fitting to you at the moment, which is rarely. He turns, and was laughing , I asked what so funny ? He said You know Walter (Jeff Dunham puppet named Walter) yes, well he was talking about his wife and how she says things that bother him, so Walter ponders on how to handle his response to her - Hands in the air hubby says " Be gone Satan!" Omg i laughed so hard almost fell out of my chair. Never a dull moment with this man.
Thanks for that story. I love such improvisational stories. You two sound like a fun couple. Zek (my old former neighbor and friend) once told me he was sure glad old age gravity had taken down my boobs instead of my sense of humor.
Well dummy here left out most important part ''Walters askes- what would Jesus do= then says Satan be Gone... oh well tomorrows another day
Some jokes are funnier when they get botched. My favorite post-punchline is "No. WAIT!" The real joke is always eclipsed by the goof.
Faye - "Remember when you said I am a very funny gal?" Friend - "I never said you are a very funny gal, I said you are a very funny kind of gal and there is a difference."
