I watched a TV detective type program the other day. This private eye had to spend the night in the same apartment as a pretty woman to protect her from the baddies who wanted to do her harm. It was an impromptu unplanned decision.
Now the questions running through my mind:
Did he have a change of underpants for the next day?
Did he brush his teeth in the morning?
Did he wear the same shirt on both days? He certainly looked nice and neat the next morning.
Why did he not need a shave the next morning? He looked well groomed to me.
And whilst we're at it ...
Why is it in these action type films where the hero often fights, runs and jumps from tall buildings, drives fast cars, and does all sorts of heroic things ... why does he never stops to go to the toilet? How come he can do all this fighting and running and shooting and everything without needing a pee? He must have a great bladder.
And one more thing ...
Why is it when I want to make lobster thermidor I can never find the thermidor? Can one buy thermidor at the supermarket?
Over to you for the answers.
...perhaps stupid thoughts!
ReplyDeleteNo ... the thoughts are clever but the questions in my thoughts are stupid.
DeleteGod bless, Tom.
Great minds think alike, Victor, as I find myself asking those same types of questions from time to time. Yes, they are stupid, but that's okay!
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
You see, Martha. Whilst the world worries about the environment, global warming, re-cycling and plastic bags in the sea; we are concerned with peoples' underwear!
DeleteGod bless always.
I have no idea what a thermidor is, so I'm no help.
ReplyDeleteAsk for it in the supermarket, Kathy. Just the thermidor, not the lobster!!!
DeleteKeep smiling. God bless.
Super heroes have super body parts that function different than regular people.
ReplyDeleteI never thought of that, Bill. Thanx for solving my questions. But how about thermidor? Is it a dance perhaps?
DeleteGod bless.
And how can movie actors jump into water, jump out, and still be wearing dry clothes? Amazing! Maybe it's because they sent their wardrobes to the dry cleaners.
ReplyDeleteThe beardless morning-after actor: that's a puzzlement. Maybe he's such a hero that he can retract his beard by willpower alone! ;)
Now that is clever, Brian. Retracting one's beard by will power alone. I wish I could do that. If I were a superman type character that would be my super power. To retract my beard!!! My mind boggles at what else I could similarly do!!!
DeleteGod bless you, Brian. Thanx for cheering me up.
Dearest Victor,
ReplyDeleteThose miracle actors look too good to be true! At least both of us see through them (FAKE) and don't even waste our time on such movies...
Hugs,
Mariette
I see your point, Mariette. I am astounded at how much they can run without stopping to catch their breath, or have a pain at their side.
DeleteAlso, did you know that there are no car chases in any of the Shakespeare plays? That's because the stage at the time was too small.
God bless.
Haha, indeed a too small stage and no cars yet at that time!
DeleteI don't understand either.
ReplyDeleteThe mysteries of life.
DeleteGod bless, Susan.
Exactly! And how, in those olde-time Westerns do the ladies always look so perfectly coiffed and fresh in their long skirts? Everything we wanted to know ... but were afraid to ask!
ReplyDeleteThat's also true, Mevely. In the old Westerns, the stagecoach may well be attacked by Indians and it turns over; yet the ladies come out totally unhurt with nice clean dresses.
DeleteGod bless, my friend.
Maybe we don't really want to know all the answers! :)
ReplyDeleteI do ... I do ... I want to know the answers so I can write about them here.
DeleteGod bless, Happyone.
Clever questions! Maybe they just do that off camera so as not to make us squeamish.
ReplyDeleteYears ago, there was a true story in the Reader's Digest about a little boy who wanted to grow up to be a hockey player. He quit using the toilet, and his parents were understandably upset, but he said, "None of the hockey players on TV ever use the toilet, and I want to grow up to be like them!"
Dad had to take him to a hockey game and introduce him to a hockey player who informed the child that, yes, indeed, the players use the toilet before games and during the breaks.
The ideas children can get in their heads sometimes.
Now i wonder, does G-d think about us that way? Wonder how we, His children, get such crazy ideas in our heads?
What? You mean that the actors in the films get changed, and shave, or go to the toilet off camera? I didn't know that, Mimi.
DeleteGod bless.
