Belief/Friday Funnies

Hi, (This is Thursday's Message)
I'm writing you from high above the Gulf of Thailand. We're on our way to Kuala Lumpur. We have an hour stop and I figured, if I wrote the message before we land, I have an hour to figure a way to send it. Brilliant.
A few of you knew the song and the rest of you were too busy to reply. (5) Here's a bit more that will surely jar the memory:
"Well, it happened that the PTA was gonna meet that very afternoon..."
Our day in the airport was kinda fun. We discovered this really cool network of escalators that will let you keep your luggage cart. They're similar to the ones at Big C. I'll post some pics. We spent most of the day in the Sky Loft. It's a restaurant/lounge with a pre-pay system. You buy a minimum of Bt500 on a card. You 'buy' items and the price is deducted from the card. We hung out at a table by a big window, with a plug nearby. The plug is the key. With it we could power the laptop and watch movies, TV, check mail, etc. Since we couldn't check in until the afternoon, we had to babysit our bags most of the day. It all worked out just fine.
It's 7:30 Malaysian time and the moon is out and we can see a pink sunset down below. We're headed south, so we have a perfect view. The sunset is bright on the other side of the plane. I got a shot of the moon and clouds.
I just saw a piece on the big screen about how the Chinese government is sending a group of young people to rehab for internet addiction. Hmm, how interesting. I remember, many years ago, seeing a web address for internet addicts. How's that going to work? I'm just asking.
Well, with any luck (and free WiFi) I'll get this message out and we can keep this thing going. Have a Cool Thursday.

Peace,
Danny

PS Today's quote seemed fitting after all we've been exposed to lately.

"It doesn’t really matter what religion anybody believes. If their life
is working (and there are many different approaches to life that are
working very well) then why not let them believe whatever they want to
believe? It’s all working in the way that it is supposed to be. There
are religions that you wouldn’t want anything to do with, that are
perfect mechanisms for the people who are involved in them. And
therefore, they are a very good thing."

Hi, (Friday's Message)
Well, needless to say, there was no free WiFi in Kuala Lumpur. We're in New Zealand now, at Dan and Carolyn's house outside of Hamilton, on the North Island. Their house in on an acre of land in the middle of rolling farm land. It's warmer than we thought it would be, with a light breeze. They're in the midst of the driest season in years, but it's still beautiful. We got a great view of the northern islands as we came in for our landing.
The song was pretty easy for some. It was "Harper Valley P.T.A." by Jeannie C. Riley. Here's something for the weekend, if you dare:
"I remember when rock was young, me and Suzie had so much fun, holding hands and skimming stones... We were hopping and bopping to the __ __ " Hint: There's a loose connection with the Funnies. He had us rockin' a few weeks ago.
Here's a few new terms I've added to my vocabulary since being here: electrician is a 'sparky' and a body shop is 'panel beater'. That's how they're listed in the phone book. More to come, I'm sure.
Gotta run. There are cows and deer to see outside. Have a Fun WeekEnd and enjoy the 'Funnies'.

Peace,
Danny

PS Malaysian F1 GP Sunday. (and we just left there)

Grown Up Talk

It was the first day after Christmas vacation in a 3rd grade class.
The teacher told the class that each student could tell the class 1
thing they got for Christmas. So, the teacher calls on a girl to come
up to the front of the class and tell everyone 1 thing she got.

"My daddy got me a Bow-Wow," she said.

The teacher tells the class that they are old enough to know the
correct words for things without using nicknames. The teacher tells
the girl to try again. The girl thinks real hard ........

"My dad got me a dog," she said.
She sat down and a boy got up and said,
"I got a choo-choo!"

The teacher scolded him and told him to try again. The boy thought
hard and said,
"I got an electric train!!"

That boy sits down and a really shy kid gets up and sadly says,
"I got a book"
The teacher feels bad for the kid and she asks,
"What was the title of the book??"

The boy thinks very hard. The class waits as the boy is thinking.
Finally, the boys face brightened and he said,

"Winnie The Sh*t!!
