I was going through some email that had accumulated in my inbox and ran across a joke that just cracked me up. I decided to make it today’s blog post.

As a woman was walking down the street to work, she saw a parrot on a perch in front of a pet store.
The parrot said to her, “Hey lady, you are really ugly.”

Well, the woman was really ticked at that! She stormed past the store to her work. On the way home that afternoon, she saw the same parrot and it said to her again, “Hey lady, you are really ugly.”

She was now incredibly angry. And the next day the parrot yet again said to her, “Hey lady, you are really ugly.”

The woman was so furious that she stomped into the store and said that she wanted to sue the store and kill the bird. The store manager apologized profusely and promised he would make sure the parrot didn’t say that to her again.

When the woman walked past the store that day after work, the parrot called out to her, “Hey lady.”

She paused and said,”Yes?”

The bird said, “You know.”

Fox has a program called “Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?” The questions some people miss are amazing! Yesterday a friend forwarded a link to an online quiz with some questions to test yourself. Three people in our house took the quiz yesterday, our scores ranged from 94% to 73%. To try it yourself and possibly have your intelligence insulted, click here.

For those who like to know what we’ve been up to…. We are back in Greenville again after a very enjoyable week with Jim, Megan, and Drew. It was a nice combination of activity and relaxation, and it was especially nice to be able to watch and hold our grandson Drew daily. He had a good check up on Friday and he was only a little the worse for the various vaccinations. Becka got to see all our children and our grandchild on Mother’s Day, and I even got to see my mom for a couple of minutes when we dropped by to see her on our way through Ohio.

Our drive back was almost blissful compared to our drive up the previous weekend. I was reminded, though, of several likes and dislikes of car travel - I love the nice stretches of road that lie between road construction sites, I hate little cement walls right beside my car door with a semi right beside the passenger door, I love left lanes where semis are not allowed to roll, and I have a hard time loving lawless drivers.

We are really enjoying our new laptop computer and fast internet. We finally opted for DSL since Mainstreet Wimax wouldn’t work from our house. Thanks to all who wrote with suggestions and advice when we were making our decision about a new ISP.
