WELCOME to FRIDAY June 9, 2023
Here’s The Story…….
Sitting in the bar George asked his 40-year-old friend John,
“How come you aren’t married?”
John: “I haven’t found the right woman yet.”
George: “So what are you looking for?”
John: “Oh she’s got to be real pretty, a good cook and house keeper, she’s got to know how
to handle finances, have a forgiving personality — and money, she’s got to have money,
and if she has her own house it wouldn’t hurt either.”
George: “A woman like that would be crazy to marry YOU!”
John: “Oh, it’s okay if she’s crazy. 😳😳😳
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Have a GREAT WEEKEND, people, stay safe,
and whatever you do, don’t forget to laff it up! Peace, I am outta here! Eucman! 😁

Today was Star Wars Day, because the day was May Fourth, as in ‘May the fourth
be with you.” And now, it’s technically May Fifth, Cinco de Mayo, as in

Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes
My wife asked me to buy ORGANIC vegetables from the market. I went and
looked around and couldn’t find any. So I grabbed a harassed and tired looking
employee and said, “These vegetables are for my wife.
Have they been sprayed with any poisonous chemicals?”
The produce guy looked at me and said,
“No, sir, you’ll have to do that yourself.”😳😳😳
Thursday’s’ Movie Trivia of the day! What movie is this quote from??? “
“I’ve never felt more orderly in my life. It is a shattering and beautiful sensation. It is the exalted flow of the space-time continuum,
save that it is spaceless and timeless and… of such loveliness. I feel on the verge of some great, ultimate truth.”
Answer: Network!
In this scene from the 1976 film “Network” news anchor Howard Beale (played by Peter Finch, who won a posthumous Best Actor Oscar) lays himself open to his friend Max Schumacher, played by William Holden. Max is the TV news division president of the network Beale is on. Beale has exhibited bizarre on-air behavior, launching into maniacal rants during the news. Sadly, Max gives Beale the news that he has to replace him. Beale explains that his behavior is not due to a psychotic breakdown, but rather that he feels plugged into a sort of universal truth.
Friday’s Movie Trivia of the day! What movie is this quote from???
“I have always found that socially unacceptable people make the best lovers because they are more sensitive.”
Thursday’s Quizzler is….
A Tom Swifty is a play on words. Tom speaks, and the way he is said to speak has two meanings. Both meanings could be true.
e.g. “I love hot dogs”, Tom said frankly.
The “frank” describes how he spoke and relates to the hot dog! [Frankfurter!]
The Tom Swifty can also use a phrase or homophone.
e.g. “You didn’t order enough carpet”, said Tom with a cold stare.
“Cold stare” expresses his annoyance and suggests uncarpeted stairs!
Choose one of the listed words or phrases to fill each gap.
- “I really don’t need that injection”, said Tom _.
- “Russian Roulette? Yeah, it’s my favorite game!” said Tom _.
- “Nay”, argued Tom _.
- “We just got back from a Mediterranean holiday”, said Tom _.
- “Oh…she must have fallen off the back of my motorcycle”, said Tom _.

If you really need an explanation, scroll down…
Tom Swift was an adventure hero created by American writer Victor Appleton. In the books, almost all of Tom’s remarks were written with an adverb or adverbial phrase. From this style, the term “Tom Swifty” has come to be used for this form of word play.
EXPLANATIONS
- Injection in his vein; his protest was in vain
- Hopefully, its a blank cartridge that he fires; his statement shows a rather blank mind!
- Nay…neigh!
- Nice is a Mediterranean resort city.
- Ruth is no longer with him!
I thought of “heavily” for the bonus question. Any better ideas?
