WELC0ME to FRIDAY MARCH 1. 2024
Here’s The Story….
There was once a very influential farmer in a remote part of China, who had a problem.
His chickens were losing their feathers and dying. H sought the counsel of the two wise
men in town, Hing, who was scientist, and Ming, who was a sorcerer.
Hing, who has had man advanced course hours in poultry science, consults the classic
text in poultry disease, “Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Diseases of Chickens,
But Were Afraid to Ask.” In the book Hing finds a reference to the report of a study showing
that feeding the chickens with an infusion of gum tree leaves is often a remedy for chickens
losing their feathers. Meanwhile Ming reads obscure writings of ancient wise men, he meditates,
and he reads tarot cards and examines the entrails of a pig. Getting no inspiration he uses his
old standby, reading tea leaves. In a spark of discovery,
it comes to him that an infusion of gum tree leaves is the cure.
So the two wise men report back to the influential Chinese farmer. Ming says, “As gum sticks to
tables and chairs, so shall an infusion of gum tree leaves make feathers stick to chickens.” Hing
agrees, saying “Studies show that infusions of gum tree leaves alleviate feather loss in chickens.”
The influential Chinese farmer is ecstatic, for the two wisest men in town are of a single mind.
He decides to follow their recommendation. It does not work.
Moral of the Story: “All of Hing’s courses and all of Ming’ ken couldn’t get gum tea to feather a hen.”
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! 😁

Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes
Two young men were out in the woods on a camping trip, when the
came upon this great trout brook. They stayed there all day,
enjoying the fishing, which was super.
At the end of the day, knowing that they would be graduating from college
soon, they vowed that they would meet, in twenty years,
at the same place and renew the experience.
Twenty years later, they met and traveled to a spot near where they had
been years before. They walked into the woods and before long came
upon a brook. One of the men said to the other, “This is the place!”.
The other replied, “No, it’s not!”.
The first man said, “Yes, I do recognize the clover growing on the bank on the other side.
To which the other man replied, “Silly, you can’t tell a brook by it’s clover.” 😳😳
Thursday’s’ Movie Trivia of the day! What movie is this quote from??? “
“Don’t mess with me, man. I’m a lawyer!”
Answer: “Hook”
In “Hook”, Robin Williams played Peter Banning, an uptight lawyer. Before Banning grew up, however, he was a lost boy in Neverland, named Peter Pan. Sadly, he forgot who he was, and everything about Neverland. But when Captain Hook (Dustin Hoffman) kidnapped his kids, Jack (Charlie Korsmo) and Maggie (Amber Scott) he had no choice but to return to Neverland with the help of his old friend Tinkerbell (Julie Roberts). While there, the Lost Boys had to train him to fight Hook. They were trying to get him to remember by having a feast and insulting him, but he didn’t see any food, even though they were all eating constantly. Rufio (Dante Basco), the new head of the Lost Boys, started to get on him, and finally, Peter started to attack back. The other boys cheered him on, at first his insults were lame, and he called Rufio a “math tutor”. But then his insults became better and better. Finally, he called Rufio, amongst other things, a “paramecium brain” and when Don’t Ask (James Madio) asked him what that meant, Banning responded “That’s a paramecium!” as he pointed to Rufio. He then proceeded to define it, and yelled, “Don’t mess with me, man. I’m a lawyer!” He soon learned to fight, fly, and crow.
Friday’s Movie Trivia of the day! What movie is this quote from???
“He’s still a human being Philip.”
Thursday’s Quizzler is….
Which one of the following words does not belong with the other six?
Issue
Mishap
Parachute
Ocean
Semiconscious
Anxious
Mansion
ANSWER: Mishap is the misfit.
The other six words, and the three in the title, all contain the ‘sh’ sound – which is spelled in nine different ways!
Ironically, the word which does contain -sh- is not pronounced ‘sh’!
‘Schedule’ would count as another spelling of the same sound, depending on which side of the Atlantic you studied!
