This Strange English Language
We’ll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes;
but the plural of ox became oxen not oxes.
One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,
yet the plural of moose should never be meese.
You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice;
yet the plural of house is houses, not hice.
If the plural of man is always called men,
why shouldn’t the plural of pan be called pen?
If I spoke of my foot and show you my feet,
and I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?
If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,
why shouldn’t the plural of booth be called beeth?
Then one may be that, and three would be those,
yet hat in the plural would never be hose,
and the plural of cat is cats, not cose.
We speak of a brother and also of brethren,
but though we say mother, we never say methren.
Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him,
but imagine the feminine, she, shis and shim.
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! 😁

“A study has found that the most popular type of business in New Jersey
is golf equipment stores. Though most customers come in and say, ‘I need
a blunt object and a bag about as big as a guy.'” -Seth Meyers
“Scientists believe the first modern Europeans mated with Neanderthals.
This is the oldest evidence yet of beer goggles.” -Conan O’Brien
Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes
My father was completely lost in the kitchen and never ate unless someone
prepared a meal for him. When Mother was ill, however, he volunteered to
go to the supermarket for her. She sent him off with a carefully numbered list of seven items.
Dad returned shortly, very proud of himself, and proceeded to unpack the grocery
bags. He had one bag of sugar, two dozen eggs, three hams, four boxes of detergent,
five boxes of crackers, six eggplants, and seven green peppers. 😳😳😳😎
Thursday’s’ Movie Trivia of the day! What movie is this quote from??? “
Person #1 says, with some over-the-top emotion and dramatic tunes blasting: “There’s no reason to become alarmed, and we hope you’ll enjoy the rest of your flight. By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?”
Answer: “Airplane!”
“Airplane!” is nothing short of one hysterical scene after the next one! Making a careful plot out of it wasn’t a priority and all it was really meant to do was lambaste the whole “Eeek!-This-plane/building/luxury liner’s-going-down!” films that were so popular in the 1970s.
It did this (and then some) to completely outrageous effect in 1980 and it starred Peter Graves, Lloyd Bridges, Robert Stack, Leslie Nielsen and -yes- even Ethel Merman for a minute. The stewardess (Julie Hagerty) dryly delivers many remarks such as this one quoted in the movie.
Friday’s Movie Trivia of the day! What movie is this quote from???
Staunchly and especially stoically, the older fellow observes: “Now and then, for no good reason, life will haul off and knock a man flat.”
The young man is not even a bit sure he likes the sound(s) of that business and quickly remarks: “Well guess what? It isn’t training over there, it’s war. Where losers die and there aren’t any winners, just guys who turn into broken-down wrecks like my father. Now if trouble awaits me, I’m ready. But why go looking for it?”
