Friday Funnies

Hi,
Well, another beautiful day in the Land of Smiles. We had a most productive afternoon. But first, the business. The song was "Tell Me Somethin' Good" by Rufus, featuring Chaka Khan. Linda sent me some interesting background. As some of you knew, Stevie Wonder wrote the song. He took the group another song but they didn't like it, so he wrote a new one on the spot. Then showed Chaka how to sing it. I think it worked. For the weekend, I dare you not to hum this:
"As I walk through this world Nothing can stop the __ __ __...." Clues: Oh, you know this one. Came out just before the British Invasion, back when vocal groups and crooners ruled the land. It's about a flashy bit of 'royalty'. (Ha) Sing it.
Our new friend, Supat, was all ready to show us more land, but we had a list of things to do that was growing. Also, we needed his help with some of it. Things went very smoothly, as we paid bills (yes, we still have those) and shortened the list. We have a ton of VCR tapes coming with our stuff, but didn't bring a machine. We just figured we'd get one here. Welcome to the digital age. Half the stores we went to didn't know what I was talking about. Supat knew, and took us to a big store that had one used one left. We bought it. Another thing I needed was a keyboard. I'd been looking at the two big music shops, but they hadn't had any pro gear until lately. We went back to the store, had the guy hook it up, played a bit and took it home. We couldn't have done that in a Tuk-Tuk. Supat was kind enough to take all of our shopping to the house while we walked to our Thai lesson. The mouth is still a little confused when having to start a word with 'ng'. Try it. See?
This is the weekend of the last Formula One Grand Prix of the season. The race for champion is to close to call. You've probably noticed that I stopped bugging you about it. Just be glad I'm not into baseball. They have games all the time.
This weekend I'll be loading some new pictures on the Flickr site. And now it's time for the 'Funnies', from the archive. Have a Great WeekEnd.

Peace,
Danny


A man opens an outdoor stall to sell bagels and puts up a sign, "50
cents each." A jogger runs past and puts 50 cents into the bucket but
doesn't take a bagel. The next day, he does the same thing. For weeks
and then months, this goes on.

One day, as he's jogging past, the owner joins step with him. The jogger
laughs and says, "I know why you're here. You want to know why I always
put money in the bucket and never take a bagel."

"No," says the owner, "not that. I just want to tell you that the bagels

have gone up to 60 cents."
