A joke for you old timers ahem-buzsaw-*cough cough* to relieve high blood pressure

It's the Spring of 1957 and Bobby goes to pick up his date. He's a pretty hip guy with his own car. When he goes to the front door, the girl's father answers and invites him in."Carrie's not ready yet, so why don't you have a seat?" He says."That's cool." Says Bobby.Carrie's father asks Bobby what they're planning to do. Bobby replies politely that they will probably just go to the soda shop or a movie.Carrie's father responds, "Why don't you two go out and screw? I hear all the kids are doing it."Naturally, this comes as quite a surprise to Bobby, so he asks Carrie's Dad to repeat it."Yeah," says Carrie's father, "Carrie really likes to screw; she'll screw all night if we let her!"Well, this just made Bobby's eyes light up, and his plan for the evening was beginning to look pretty good.A few minutes later, Carrie comes downstairs in her little poodle skirt and announces that she's ready to go. Almost breathless with anticipation, Bobby escorts his date out the front door.About 20 minutes later, Carrie rushes back into the house, slams the door behind her, and screams at her father: "DAMMIT DADDY! IT'S CALLED THE TWIST!!!"This message has been edited by Lam, 07-12-2004 12:07 AM

Lam, you need a job bad......too much time on your hands. Before you head out to work or where ever, read a chapter of wise old Solomon's Proverbs each day for a while. It'l enrich your mind to think good thoughts.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!ROFLMAO!

Yes, I need a full time job bad. Unfortunately, nobody in my town wants to hire a student that is going to leave for college again in august. I am currently painting people's houses, painting my parents' house, and replacing my parents' wooden floor... and watch stargate sg-1.

You watch that too? Cool show.

Total agreement. I used to only watch it because I would sit down early for Farscape.Then, when I started paying attention, it came to me that I was having more fun watching Stargate than watching Farscape.

Too close to home.True story from just about that time (maybe a few yearlater)I had an apartment on North Charles St. in Baltimore, a couple blocks north of the Washinton Monument. One day a beautiful young lady from England moved into the apartment on the third floor. As the polite young gentleman I was, I introduced myself and offered to show her around the neighborhood. Imagine my surprise when she responded, "That sounds great. Why don't you knock me up some time?"Imagine my disappointment when I discovered the "Knock me up" simply refered to knocking on her door.

Dude, I'd be a little worried if a girl wanted me to knock her up on the first date. I dunno, maybe I've got comittment issues or something...

"Egos drone and pose alone, Like black balloons, all banged and blown
On a backwards river the infidels shiver in the stench of belief.
And tell my mama I'm a hundred years late; I'm over the rails and out of the race
The crippled psalms of an age that won't thaw are ringing in my ears"

The early 60's were an amazing period. I feel most fortunate to have been there.

Good. So you are busy. So Stargate is cool, you think. Nothing though, will enrich your mind like Solomon's Proverbs (addressed, btw to the young man, no matter what you think about the rest of the Bible or no matter what your ideology and no matter what you think about religion.

I'd go with Ecclesiastes, myself.I keep meaning to start a thread about "wisdom an atheist can glean from the Bible." Ecclesiastes would definitely top the list.This message has been edited by Dan Carroll, 07-12-2004 11:01 AM

How old were you then? Were you old enough to be a hippy, a child of one of the hippies, a child of one of the lamenters or one of the lamenters of the beginning of the moral freefall in the US of A?I was in Southern Ca during those years, then about 30 with my own business and lamenting the depravity that was obviously moving in upon society at such an alarming pace. The hippies began to find need to steal in order to buy their drugs instead of working for a respectable living. Some would park near avacodo or fruit orchards with their busses, vans or whatever that they lived in and steal the fruit to add to what they filched from public welfare.

They bought drugs with avacados?

Certainly old enough to be a hippy. Had my page boy and 'stash. Wore tie die with the best of them. Attended the little get together on June 16th, 17th and 18th. Had a great time but the weather was typical NoCal lousy. Me too. Didn't see you in the groves or recognize you. Did you have flowers in your hair?I did do a few things other than steal avocados down your way. Built the cable tv systems in Fallbrook, Pala Mesa, Coronado, El Cajon and Chula Vista. There were about twenty or so other system in California that I designed as well. Ventura, Oxnard, Port Heuneme and a bunch of others. Spent a little time helping found the Society of Cable Television Engineers.It was a wonderful time when for a short moment there was a chance for real spirtitual advancement. Unfortunately, religion got in the way and much that was good about the period was lost.

Actually, the big attraction of avocados was to have cuke fights. If you found some overripe ones they made really messy splatters.Few people had to steal to get drugs. In fact, the whole concept of stealing was so counter to the hippie movement as to be nearly unheard of.
