Welcome to my Funnies, all you new people. Make sure you go back and read some of my old stuff. Some of it is decent. It's your job to find the decent stuff mixed with all the indecent...wait....undecent....err....nondecent.......screw it, I'm AWESOME. Go see for yourself.
And now some quickies:
Conversation over Christmas weekend @ my house between the Wife and ME while watching White Christmas:Me: “I read somewhere that Danny Kay wasn’t Bing Crosby’s first choice to play opposite him.”
(because I’m full of useless knowledge)Wife: “Nuh-uh. Really?”
(said doubtfully, cause she knows I’m usually trying to dupe her)Me: “Yeah, he wanted Fred Astaire, since they played together in Holiday Inn. Fred was his first choice. But Fred declined, because he thought he was getting too old. Then he wanted some other old dead dude, but that guy had a prior engagement on another project.”
Wife: “Was it Van Johnson?”
Me: “That sounds about right.”
Wife: “It probably was because he was big around that time.”
Me: “Yeah, so Danny Kay was option 3. And I guess he was pissed when he found out.”
Wife: “Poor guy. But he wasn’t known for dancing. He was more of a comic.”
Me: “I know, but I like Danny Kay. He’s funny. And they had good chemistry onscreen. And he’s a good guy, what with starting St.Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital and all.”
Wife: “That was Danny Thomas.”
Me: “Right! Danny Kay Thomas.”
Wife: “No, just Danny Thomas. He was a different actor.”
Me: "I think that’s probably incorrect.”
Wife: “I think YOU’RE incorrect. Maybe you should look it up online.”
Me: “Nah, I prefer to remember it my way. Since that’s the correct version.”
Wife: “Wrong version, you mean.”
Me: “Well, maybe Danny Kay started Riley Children’s Hospital.”
Wife: “That was James Whitcomb Riley.”
Me: “Geez, why does everything have to be so factual with you. A boy can dream, can’t he?!”
Today, while helping Old Guy Office Mate take a photo to put on a dating website:Me: “So, what kind of pose are you going with? You want just a standard headshot?”
OGOM: “Yeah! Give me a Headshot! Headshot!”
Me: “Calm down tiger, save it for the ladies…….I said Headshot………….HeadSHOT……………SHOT……..S-H-O-T…..not….J-O-B.”
OGOM: “Just take a close up.”
Me: "Okay. How much physique do you want showing? Gut? No Gut?"
OGOM: “Most of the women on the site post from here
(points to chest) up, so you can see some of their breasts.”
Me: “Is that what you want? You want them to see your breasts?”
OGOM: “F@*# You, asshole!”
(said while laughing hysterically)
