WELCOME to TUESDAY OCTOBER 27th, 2026
HERE’S THE STORY….
Chris Cross, a tourist in Vienna, is going passed Vienna’s Zentralfriedhof graveyard on
October 31st. All of a sudden he hears some music. No one is around, so he starts
searching for the source. Chris finally locates the origin and finds it is coming from a
grave with a headstone that reads: Ludwig van Beethoven, 1770-1827. Then he realizes
that the music is the Ninth Symphony and it is being played backward! Puzzled,
he leaves the graveyard and persuades Tim Burr, a friend, to return with him.
By the time they arrive back at the grave, the music has changed. This time it is the
Seventh Symphony, but like the previous piece, it is being played backward. Curious,
the men agree to consult a music scholar. When they return with the expert, the
Fifth Symphony is playing, again backward. The expert notices that the symphonies
are being played in the reverse order in which they were composed, the 9th, then
the 7th, then the 5th. By the next day the word has spread and a throng has gathered
around the grave. They are all listening to the Second Symphony being played backward.
Just then the graveyard’s caretaker ambles up to the group. Someone in the
crowd asks him if he has an explanation for the music.
“Oh, it’s nothing to worry about” says the caretaker. “He’s just decomposing!”😉😂🤣
Have a WONDERFUL TUESDAY’ people, stay safe, and whatever you do,
don’t forget to laff it up! Peace, I am outta here! Eucman! 😁
GUARANTED TO MAKE YOU LAFF!
Notice: County Community Burn Ordinances Pertaining to
recreational fires and burning of yard and household waste.
All outdoor burning is prohibited in the City except for those parcels
described in ordinance. Recreational fires are allowed,
but not during the hours of 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.
At 8.00pm on October 31st two fire-fighters could see a fire raging in the back yard.
I was clearly in breach of the rule on burning leaves after dark. One of the fireman
knocked on the door, and they both waited each holding their helmet in their hand.
The little old woman opened the door and promptly dropping a bar of candy into
each helmet. She then told them, ‘Aren’t you boys are a little old for trick and treat,
and closed the door’. The fire-fighters left open mouthed. 😂🤣
MONDAY’s Movie Trivia of the day!
One director has been involved in creating two epic films, one, a western released in 1968 called ‘Once Upon a Time in the West’, and the other, a crime drama called ‘Once Upon a Time in America’, which hit theaters in 1984. Who created these two excellent films?
Answer: The correct answer was Sergio Leone!
Sergio Leone has directed some of the most masterful epics in film history, including the ‘Man with No Name’ trilogy, starring Clint Eastwood. ‘Once Upon a Time in the West’ featured Henry Fonda and Charles Bronson in an all-star cast, while ‘Once Upon a Time in America’ starred Robert De Niro, among many other great actors.
TUESDAYS Movie Trivia of the day!
No discussion of film epics would be complete without a mention of the 1939 film ‘Gone with the Wind’, an expansive film with a top notch cast and brilliant directorial work by Victor Fleming. Which actress won a Best Actress Oscar for her performance in this blockbuster?
MONDAY’s Quizzler….
It was Xmas time, and Xavier eXeter eXhorted his family for an eXpedition downtown to eXpend some funds for the usual holiday gift eXchange. As soon as they boarded the eXpress train, his Auntie Jen began to eXpound on her eXpectations for the trip.
“I assume you know that the full name of the holiday is Christmas?”
“Newspapers started it to save space, replacing ‘Christ’ with a cross.”
“Very good. Do you know what else ‘ex’ means?”
“Well, it can mean ‘outside’ or ‘former’.”
“EXcellent. But sometimes, it doesn’t seem related to the original word.” She smiled, and Xavier could tell she had another one of her games in mind. He returned the grin, eXcited for her to eXplain the rules.
“Now, if you lose weight in January, how might you describe your loss?”
Xavier thought for a few seconds, and then his face eXploded with delight.
“EX-mass!”
“Very good! What else?” Jen often had more than one up her sleeve. His father claimed that’s why she often wore long-sleeved blouses.
“EX-pound?”
She chuckled and made a mental note. ” I hadn’t thought of that one. How about ‘EX-size’, spelled C-I-S-E ?”
“Oohhh,” he groaned. “Okay, do you have any more?”
