So, I said to a bird with webbed feet, "Hello duck."

Wow, the end of another very busy week!

Norwich has just been voted the greenest town/city in the U.K. (which is great to know). Now we have the Art Festival started this week. I do not like cities but I like it here because it is like a big village.

Sally was driving home from one of her business trips in Northern Arizona when she saw an elderly Navajo woman walking on the side of the road. As the trip was a long and quiet one, she stooped the car and asked the Navajo woman if she would like a ride. With a silent nod of thanks the woman got into the car.
Resuming the journey, Sally tried in vain to make a bit of small talk with the Navajo woman. The old woman just sat silently, looking intently at everything she saw, studying every little detail, until she noticed a brown bag on the seat next to Sally. "what's in the bag?" Sally looked down at the brown bag and said, "It's a bottle of wine. I got it for my husband." The Navajo woman was silent for another moment or two. Then speaking with the quiet wisdom of an elder, she said: "Good trade."

Every time I read that joke, I have a pic in my mind of some one like the Eskimo girl from "Northern Exposure", only much older!

Glad you're busy, Skip!

So, I said to a bird with webbed feet, "Hello duck."

I beg your pardon: I am a goose...

Thank you guys. It ain't easy being cheesy. And I do most profoundly apologise to the goose, it was a clear case of mistaken identity on my part. Not that I have anything against geese, I just thought it looked more like a duck.

Peace and my very best wishes going out to you.

Viaduck? Via not a chicken?

By H82typ, # 4. May 2008, 16:27:02

Chickens do not have webbed feet. Hey, I do know the difference between a chicken and a duck - even though I obviously have difficulty telling the difference between a duck and a goose (but, in my own defense, they both have webbed feet).

In Mr. Mike's Mondo Video, Dan Akroyd claimed to have webbed feet. Does that make him a duck or a goose?

By rfhurley, # 5. May 2008, 04:08:47

The 'Man from Atlantis' also had webbed feet but I would not class him a duck or a goose. And, therefore, neither is Dan Akroyd.

By Skip247, # 5. May 2008, 19:06:34

...so you're calling Dan Akroyd a chicken???

By rfhurley, # 5. May 2008, 20:00:56

I can not really say if Dan Akroyd is a chicken or not, because I have never seen him in a real fight!

You are most welcome. (Now, if I can just figure out how to train my own brain.....).

By Skip247, # 9. May 2008, 08:48:28

think about something
you believe, you are sure to know the truth.
you will see the bricks fall down.

By ombolan, # 9. May 2008, 08:53:05

I believe in the Earth and the natural order, because they are pure.

Technology and commercialism are merely transient.

the internet times we have to enjoy
maybe they're over one day like the high times 1960 to 1976
internet is fun, the world a big little village
it's prepairing something good for the future

i think/believe/hope/know

By ombolan, # 9. May 2008, 09:54:14

I am with you on that.

I see the internet as a tool for global communication and must be used to the full while we have the use of it, so long as we can cut through the crap.

By Skip247, # 9. May 2008, 10:16:41

i'm not alone

By ombolan, # 9. May 2008, 10:21:21

Nobody on this Earth was born to struggle alone, that is why we have each other.

By Skip247, # 9. May 2008, 10:47:57

BUT: everybody has to die alone

By ombolan, # 9. May 2008, 10:54:38

All the more reason to make the most of living here together. I do not fear death, just apprehensive of the pain of death.

By Skip247, # 9. May 2008, 11:07:34

also the same

By ombolan, # 9. May 2008, 11:12:12

...if I can just figure out how to train my own brain...

It's much easier to train other people's brains. Advertisers and TV News talking heads do it all the time:

"Sit!"

"Fetch!"

"Roll over!"

...goood dog...

By rfhurley, # 9. May 2008, 15:26:23

that's the real truth
making other people rich is also easier
you have just to put there nose on the right track
if there is one
if not, the stay poor
