Friday Funnies

Hi,

We're back in Thailand. Seemed like we spent most of a day chasing the night. Very sleepy, but determined to send this to you.

The Who was the group that sang "I Can See For Miles" during the 'Summer of Love'. The album was titled 'The Who Sell Out'. For 'Old School Friday' the challenge will be an "answer song" that was very popular. "You're my love, you're my angel, you're the girl of my dreams. I'd like to thank you for waiting patiently. __ __, __ __ to stay."
Hint: Seriously? You think this one needs any hints? If you don't know it, a thousand hints won't help.

We left LAX at 10:45pm on Wednesday night. We arrived in Taipei as the sun was coming up on Friday morning. Somewhere in that 14 hour flight, we lost a day. Hmm. It was so early, the shops in the airport were still closed. When we got to Bangkok, the lines for immigration were so long that we feared we might miss our connection flight to Chiang Rai. Lisa spotted a guy in a uniform and asked if he could help. He was from immigration and he took us aside and ran us through. Then we got to the Thai Airways window and they had no record of our ticket. What? We finally got it settled and had time to sit and wait for boarding.

There are many things that can happen in the course of a day in Thailand that let you know you're in a different part of the world. At the airport, I went into the 'Men's Room'. As I turned to use the sink, I noticed a woman cleaning the mirror. OK. This is not an isolated occurrence. The same thing has happened at Big C. Then, while we were standing in line at the ticket window, the small carry-on of the woman in front of us tipped over and hit our suitcase. She immediately turned, waid, and smiled. Welcome to Thailand.

The last portion of our journey home was in the smallest seats, in the middle section, on a smaller plane. A far cry from the wide recliners of business class. At the same time, we were flying home, and not taking the non-air-conditioned bus that takes 10 hours from Bangkok. So, grateful for the whole experience.

The welcome home was wonderful. The dogs did their little crazy dances, romped excitedly, and knew which bag had the treats. Daku has been waking Boot up at 4am to go out and play. There will be none of that in the morning. It's back to the old routine.

Tomorrow we get a massage in the afternoon, and go to an art exhibit opening at 9 Art gallery in the evening. It's good to be back.

Have a Wonderful WeekEnd. And now, the 'Funnies'.

Peace,
Danny

That’s Disgusting
A man observed a sign in the window of a restaurant that read “Unique
Breakfast” so he walked in and sat down. The waitress brought him his
coffee and asked him what he wanted.

“What’s your ‘Unique Breakfast?’” he asked.

“Baked tongue of chicken,” she replied.

“Baked tongue of chicken?… Do you have any idea how disgusting that
is? I would never even consider eating anything that came out of a
chicken’s mouth!” he fumed.

Undaunted, the waitress asked, “What would you like then?”

“Just bring me scrambled eggs,” the man replied.
