eld, no joke. I just watched an old movie, Dial 1119, from 1950 that was ahead of its time for sure. Dialing 911 for emergency didn't come out until almost 20 years later and they had a flat screen TV in the corner over the bar which wouldn't be available for another almost 50 years!

The older we get, Rusty, and the more decrepit our body becomes, the truer your observation becomes. Sometimes, when people in their 50s or so remark how their memory is failing, I've been known to suggest that, while I didn't like being the bearer of bad news, that that situation was going to deteriorate further, I could pretty well guarantee it. ole joyful

You remind me of my SIL. She opens up various cans but then adds zucchini and says it's homemade..

Eld, There is a large Portuguese community in my small home-town. I loved telling this joke. What do you get when you cross a Portuguese with a Canadian? Canada Geese! LOL
