She wants "her man" to stay home with her! She gets bored, so I think a good paying job would be the ideal course - for her.....Maybe UPS driver - they run a lot.

That isn't Duchess Von Levy. If it were the laptop would be in 25 pieces and the pillow would be nothing but feathers. I can't keep pillows with Duchess around. When I go to work they dissappear. So they come off the bed until I get home from work now. She is getting a little better but I am loosing patience with her. She will be 2 this June. She darn well better grow out of it soon. [V]

A Cat Story... You don't have to own a cat to appreciate this one...

A couple was dressed and ready to go out for the evening. They turned on a night light,

turned the answering machine on the phone line,

covered their pet parakeet and put the cat in the backyard.

They phoned the local cab company and requested a taxi.

The taxi arrived and the couple opened the front door to leave their house.

The cat they had put out into the yard scoots back into the house.

They don't want the cat shut in the house because "she" always tries to eat the bird.

The wife goes out to the taxi while the husband goes inside to get the cat. The cat runs upstairs,

the man in hot pursuit. The wife doesn't want the driver to know the house will be empty.

She explains to the taxi driver that her husband will be out soon.

"He's just going upstairs to say goodbye to my mother."

A few minutes later, the husband gets into the cab. "Sorry I took so long," he says,

as they drive away. "Stupid thing was hiding under the bed. Had to poke her with a

coat hanger to get her to come out! Then I had to wrap her in a blanket to keep her from

scratching me. But it worked. I hauled her fat *** downstairs and threw her out into the

back yard!"

The cabdriver hit a tree...

This was funny - It will even make the real Mookie smile when I explain it to her....

You might be joining the list of people on the couch in the corner of Kev house or doghouse. I am not sure where the couch is at the moment. It depends on "if" he sent ME the rat pic or not.

Zardoz - thanks for the formula!

Summing up the past few commercial moments that need responses:

I remember TV commercials touting the elegant glassware obtained from the House of Gulf.

"Try it, you'll like it" and "I can't believe I ate the whole thing!" were both Alka-Seltzer commercials, back from the late 1960s and early 1970s. That was one of the best bunch of ads ever!

VW also had clever, understated ads back then, both on TV and in print.

This Baptist preacher and this Methodist preacher were at a wedding. They were each offered a glass of wine. The Methodist preacher picked up the glass of wine and drank without hesitation. The Baptist preacher just stood there and glared at him. The Methodist stopped drinking and asked why he was staring. The Baptist said he’d just assume commit adultery. The Methodist then threw down his glass. The Baptist asked why he just did that. The Methodist replied “I didn’t know we had a choice!”

Since no one has guessed what product Josephine the plumber touted, the answer is:

[Granny74]

I think the cheapest gas I ever saw was in Concordia, Kansas, on Highway 81 in town for 9 cents a gallon! I could be wrong,---but of course, you all know my age and so maybe you could look up the info in an olddddddddddddddddddddddd newspaper!!!LOL I worked for Standard Oil and I had to wash all the customers windshields and windows instead and out---about 1939. I had to also sweep out the front seats floors as well as all of the other "good" service items you mentioned!!

Sepaking about commercials, There are a few ones that Canaidnas like that appear on American stations.

A) Jimmy Dean Sausages, HA! he's a hoot! he's got the most an accent that makes mis alomst sound impossible to be real, and the way he pronounces his own name.. what a carck pot!

B) who has Comcast digital cable? you know the commercail where they need someone to be the "C" i can't rememebr for what reason... okay, if you subscxribe to Warner cable, or any other Mickey mouse company, you won't get the comcast commercial!

DR pepper? man, I buy Dr. Publix. Svaes me a buck and a half each time! I love cheap immitations, although publix cream soda makes me fart more then the regular brand, Just what you all wanted to know, eh?

Rememebr the commercail that went like this or correct me if im wrong, "and rememebr, mom's the word!"

"It's not nice to fool Mother Nature" was Parkay margarine.

'WHERE'S THE BEEF?" was Wendy's Restaurant.

New question: What product did Josephine the Plumber advertise?

[cherokee woman]

Okay, here's another one from down memory lane:

Jim, do you remember when flashlight batteries (all batteries really) were about $.05 each[?] I do: I bought some (locomutt)

What commercial had the little boy saying "Mothers are like that, yeah they are!"


cherokee woman

"Please God, give me strength."

Yeah right Jim,you had to be as youngster. Although I believe I sort of
remember that price also.(as a young lad of course)[swg]

Gas stations actually put gas in your car,wiped the windshield,checked the oil,put air in
the tires if needed[?] YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING [:O] [swg] Now I remember, that's where all
those Apollo glasses and decanter came from[:-^]

Anybody remember which chain of gas stations had the dinosaur on the signs[?]

hint,Fred Flintstone had one as a pet

[edblysard]

Yup Carl,
I can remember that, and even remember when the gas stations filled your tank for you.
If you did ask for a fill up, they often gave you a "gift".
Most likely a real cheap water glass or coffee mug, or a free road map.
Stay Frosty,
Ed

[CShaveRR]

But Ed, do you remember when it was Esso that wanted you to put the tiger in your tank?

(I remember the Mad Madazine parody of those ads...grinning tiger, saying "I put a gas station attendant in MY tank!")
