I often sit down and just think. Better than thinking standing up. My thoughts fall down to my feet when I'm standing up.
I think about the good old days. They were neither good nor old. I was young at the time. I remember being raised in poverty. It was a town next to misery and despair.
Our house was always cold and damp. We had a permanent rainbow in the kitchen. The house was so small that even the mice were hunch-backed. There was no room to swing a cat. We had to do it outdoors. Despite our poverty we believed in nature and saving the environment. We used natural things where we could. For example, we tied a dead hedgehog to a stick and used it as a toilet brush.
My teacher at school told me once, "Some day you'll go far ... and I hope you stay there!" I was bad at Math. If I had 50 cents for every failed Math exam I would now have $4.27.
As a young man I was always ambitious. I once entered the world kleptomaniac championships. I took gold, silver and bronze.
I wanted to make it good in life. Never succeeded. I wanted to have a girl-friend and get married. I did not realise that marriage is a very expensive way to get your laundry done free.
My girl-friend at the time told me I should be more affectionate. So I got myself two girl-friends. Neither of them liked that!
Honestly ... women ... I'll never understand them. My girl-friend liked chocolates, like many women do. She also liked shoes. Always buying shoes. She dropped many hints for her birthday. So I bought her a pair of shoes made of chocolate.
Eventually I married Miss Right. I did not know at the time her first name was Always.
My wife dresses to kill. She cooks the same way. I was so hungry I ate a clock yesterday. It was time consuming.
She has just called me pretentious about this last joke. I was so surprised that my monocle fell off.
I hate it when people act so intellectual and talk knowledgeably about Mozart when they haven't seen even one of his paintings.
For our honeymoon we went to Paris. I tried to climb a really tall tower; but Eiffel off!
Good joke hein? Don't you hate it when people always answer their own questions? I do!
My wife and I laughed at this last joke. We often laugh at how competitive we both are. But I laughed more!
Victor..Just like reading one of my
ReplyDeleteown scripts..Brilliant! :).
But! I disagree with 'I think about the good
old days. They were neither good nor old'
I was raised just like you then..Poor! :(
We even put mustard on my Dads tongue, and
sat round with our hands to keep warm..!
But! Never~the~less they were good..good or
bad, they were still old..! :).
HeHe! And honeymoon..I went to Sicily...
Can't remember where the wife went..
The priest said to me.."Will you take
this woman to be your lawful wedded wife"?
I said "Would you"? He said "No way" I said
"Then stop asking stupid questions..".
HeHe! And do you believe in sex before
marriage? No! As long as it does'nt hold up
the ceremony..! Boom!Boom!
Let's go see what Tom's up to...! :O).

It's good to laugh, Willie.
DeleteGod bless.
...what a sad life, Victor. I hope that things improve for you!!!
ReplyDeleteThe worst bit was when my wife called me pretentious. I was smoking my pipe at the time and my beard nearly caught fire.
DeleteGod bless, Tom.
Your life is certainly a bundle of laughs.
ReplyDeleteNot a minute goes by without me thinking of laughing.
DeleteGod bless, Kathy.
LOL, only you could come up with the kleptomaniac championships. :)
ReplyDeleteI was certainly a winner on that championship day.
DeleteGod bless you, Bill.
Sherry said, "He may get in the last words, BUT, BUT he's better stand by!"
ReplyDeleteShe is Always Right, just sayin' (watchit)
Sherry & jack
I'm so glad you and Sherry enjoyed my offering of humour, Jack.
DeleteGod bless you both.
In some countries in the the Middle East, such as Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, etc. are they as right as we see in Western countries? ... Nice post, Victor! You made me laugh :-)
ReplyDeleteGlad I made you laugh, Giorgio.
DeleteGod bless.
Dearest Victor,
ReplyDeleteOnce in a while we all need such a generous dose of humor vitamins!
Hugs,
Mariette
Yes we do. I know I do. I hope you liked my humour, Mariette.
DeleteGod bless you.
When I did label your humor 'vitamins'... that speaks for itself Victor!😜
DeleteThank you so much, Mariette.
DeleteGod bless always.
💞
DeleteGood ones ... especially the monocle! You know, I'll never clean my toilet bowl again without thinking of that poor hedgehog.
ReplyDeleteThe hedgehog was dead, Mevely. My monocle fell on him and killed him.
DeleteGod bless. Keep smiling.
Always good to read your high brow writing. Thanks for giving me some giggles.
ReplyDeleteI'm so pleased to see you visiting again, Susan. Thank you. Giggles are good for us.
DeleteGod bless.
You've outdone yourself this time, Victor! I especially like that Miss Right's first name is Always. I think you understand women far better than you give yourself credit for. :)
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
I have learnt not to get into an argument with a woman. In all our marriage I have never argued with my wife. I am waiting for her to stop and catch her breath!
DeleteGod bless, Martha.
Thanks for the laughs! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you enjoyed my jokes, Happyone. Thanx.
DeleteGod bless.
I recognise a few of these, I must have seen them before, but they are still funny.
ReplyDeleteFunny is good, River.
DeleteGod bless.
I am always grateful for a good laugh. My favorite was the free laundry joke. Thanks for the uplifting way you made me smile. Blessings, Victor
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see you smile Nells. We all need some humour in our lives.
DeleteGod bless always.
Heeheehee! Marriage is also an expensive way to get your meals cooked.
ReplyDeleteMarriage is good ... as long as she does not vacuum clean when the football is on TV.
DeleteGod bless, Mimi.
I'm always looking for a reason to sit down.
ReplyDeleteI like to sit down. And contemplate. With a plate full of pizza.
DeleteGod bless, Linda.
I love marriage! I loved your snail story. I sit down way too much. It is always good to see you here. Have a blessed day.
ReplyDeleteWe love seeing you visit us. Please visit again tomorrow, Tata. You'll enjoy the story, I hope.
DeleteGod bless.
Many thanks for the laughs :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
It's good to laugh. Glad you enjoyed this post, Jan.
