I remembered a joke,...........


"This lady has plumbing problems,....she calls a plumber and arranged for him to do
the repair. She waits forever it seems, and finally leaves him a note that she would be right back.

The wind carried away the note shortly before the plumber arrives, he knocks on the door,....
a voice says, "who is it?",.... he answers, "the plumber",.....he stands waiting for 2 minutes
or so,..... knocks again,...a voice says, "who is it?",... he again answers, "the plumber",....
(you see he does not know the voice is a large parrot)

again he waits, over a minute,.... this time he bangs on the door loudly,...again,.. "who is it?"

"The Plumber!" he shouts out,......, getting frustrated he begins pounding on the door
with both fist,...... again the voice,......"who is it?"

Red in the face, and angry, he shouts,.... "THE PLUMBER!" as he pounds away at the door,...
He feels a sharp pain in his chest and left arm,..... he collapses there at the door,.... dead.

The lady gets home, walks up to the door and says,.."oh my God, who is it?"

The parrot answers,...... "the plumber"
 

I see,........

Are you about 6'6" and 275 lbs?

You realize it's going to be like the WWF in that place right?

Only with a bunch of nuts,.......... no offence guys and girls,......

Its not a mental health facility in the sense your thinking haha. Its a place thats labeled a mental health facility thats getting its license to be a drug treatment center in the near future. The facility is not open yet but they are opening soon. And I'm 5'11 170 pounds haha.
 

I see the 2nd shift has joined in....ECS and Simon have come onboard.
"Well the midnight gang's assembled for a rendezvous tonight"- Bruce Springsteen
I did this ancestry.com thing, found out my 16th great grandfather was a knight who fought with the Lancasters against Richard III at Bosworth Field and was given the position of Sheriff of Nottingham.
When I was in college, my history professor was from Nottingham Teachers College, who kept telling me I was English, when I knew my line came to New Amsterdam from South Holland.
My 14th great grandfather whom I share a first name, who was not the first born son, left England when James I became king, relocated to South Holland to teach in a Protestant school in South Holland.
Sometimes it is strange how things connect to the past.
...and me, I just played in some rock and band...
 

Sounds like we have relatives from the same part of the world. Still trying to figure out if they were " friend or foe " before I go on. Would hate to get hit by a "misplaced" arrow ???
 

Hey ECS, we had to belong to a union or organization when we played someone else's music. I remember it was three letters, but I can't remember the first 2. I believe the third was an "I" ? I know I still have my card somewhere in a box in my study as I saw it back in the late 90's. Can you refresh my memory on what it was ?
 

Good Morning, ARC. Good Morning, Simon.
Woke up 2 minutes before the alarm.
Have a Blessed Day!
 

Good morning WD, SIMON AND ARC. BE RIGHT BACK . SADIE GOTTA GO.:laughing7:
 

Good morning Rook :hello:
( good girl Sadie......distract Rook so Sister can some treats ) :icon_thumleft:
 

Time to call it a night friends.
See everyone later :hello:

Good night and good morning .
 

No its at a mental health inpatient facility thats going to become a drug treatment center. The position I applied for is a "behavioral health technician".

You'll fit right in here.
 

Good morning.

Sunday begins the invasion of the North, though it's still up in the air how much of our brigade is going...

Indiana is the target this time, to pick up a puppy. Woo hoo.
 

Afternoon all (at least it is here).

My brother-in-law has called to say he had to go to hospital, having damaged his knee, which already has a replacement joint in it. Heā€™s going to be fine, but we havenā€™t been able to stop laughing. Outside of a Tom & Jerry cartoon, he may be the only person in modern history to have actually slipped on a banana skin.

A little Googling suggests that the banana skin gag was popularised in the 1900s by the vaudeville comedian ā€˜Slidingā€™ Billy Watson, although his contemporary rival Billy ā€˜Beefā€™ Trustā€™ Watson (no relation) claims to have invented the routine. Who knew?

Weā€™ve asked him (brother-in-law, not Billy Watson) if his car is also OK. Based on previous observations, the doors usually fall off like they do on the clown car in a Hungarian circus, just before someone gets slapped in the face with a custard pie.

:laughing7: :laughing7: :laughing7:

Oh my! Invading Peyton Manningā€™s territory? Good thing he likes you!

LOL I might be related to your brother in law . I have not slipped on a banana peel but one morning while walking through the kitchen I slipped on one a frog that had gotten out of the aquarium. Tweaked my knee and back.
