Friday Funnies

Hi,

This is one of those mornings where everything is getting condensed. If you stay up late, and get up late, there's less time to play. Hmm, why didn't I know this sooner. (Ha)

You seem to be getting better at this song thing. Yes, it was Billy Joel and "Just The Way You Are". For the weekend we're going easy again, I think. "You're a __ __ __ but I still have your love to remember you by..." Hint: This is a classic ballad from '60s R&B. It even had an answer song. If you're old you'll remember. (Ha) If you're young, you should know this.

Yesterday morning we went to 'Kids' Day' at the institute where Jeff works. DJ August was pumping out the music when we arrived. There were lots of different activities going on in the same room, plus a movie theater and a 'Be a Rock Star' room where they could record vocals to their favorite song. August is very business like when he's 'working'. He has a knack for keeping the beat going and always puts his discs away after they play. So neat. Hmm. On one song where the singer called out dance instructions, they requested that he play it over so they could learn the steps. The DJ complied and the party was rockin'.

I had lunch with my dear friend Seth (Godfather Workout) and among the things we talked about was the possible renewal of the show. Lisa and I were genuine groupies and followed his one-man show all the way to New York. Now we'll have to figure out how to get from Thailand to Vegas. (Just thinkin' ahead)

We have a breakfast, and a lunch today. Maybe there will be time for a nap this afternoon. As it is, I have to run but I'll be posting some new photos over the weekend so stay tuned.

It's time for the 'Funnies'. It's a repeat, but it still makes me laugh. You must laugh too. (Ha)

Have a 'Safe and Sane' holiday and try not to blow anything up.

Peace,
Danny

A contestant on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" had reached the final
plateau. If she answered the next question correctly, she would win
the $1,000,000. If she answered incorrectly, she would pocket only
the $32,000 milestone money.

As she suspected it would be, the million dollar question was no
pushover. It was, "Which of the following species of birds does not
build its own nest, but instead lays its eggs in the nests of other
birds?

Is it:
A) the condor
the buzzard
C) the cuckoo
D) the vulture

The woman was on the spot. She did not know the answer. And she was
doubly on the spot because she had used up her 50/50 Lifeline and her
Audience Poll Lifeline. All that remained was her Phone-a-Friend
Lifeline. The woman hoped she would not have to use it because her
friend was, well… blonde.

She had no alternative. She called her friend and gave her the
question and the four choices. The blonde responded unhesitatingly:
"That's easy. The answer is C: the cuckoo."

The contestant had to make a decision and make it fast. She considered
employing a reverse strategy and giving Regis any answer except the
one that her friend had given her. And considering that her friend was
a blonde, that would seem to be the logical thing to do. But her
friend had responded with such confidence, such certitude, that the
contestant could not help but be persuaded.

"I need an answer," said Regis.

Crossing her fingers, the contestant said, "C: The cuckoo."

"Is that your final answer?"

"Yes, that is my final answer."

Two minutes later, Regis said, "That answer is… Absolutely correct!!
You are now a millionaire!"

Three days later, the contestant hosted a party for her family and
friends, including the blonde who had helped her win the million
dollars.
"Jeni, I just do not know how to thank you," said the contestant. "How
did you happen to know the right answer?"

"Oh, come on," said the blonde. "Everybody knows cuckoos don't build
nests. They live in clocks."
