My dad was Mr. MaGoo when he drank, and his offspring, Aunt Clara from Bewitched, any day of the week. 🙂

Fun post, Susannah. I could imagine the scene at the package store.

My dad was a very delightful man but such an alcoholic. Luckily the store was nearby, and they all knew him. SIGH

Thanks a lot. And he’s such a little gentleman. I wish you could hear the seriousness when he orders. It’s too funny. We all, including who’s waiting on him, have to stifle a laugh. I LOVE KIDS.

This made me think of the time we went to Maine and my eldest ordered a Lobster Roll. Then returned it because it was cold… Ummmm, Son? The restaurant heated it up for him!

Thank God for the funnies in life, otherwise, it would be a dull place to roam!

What a marvelous collection of Sussanecdotes! My collection would be ANNEcdotes, and they wouldn’t be nearly as good as yours.

Sadly He is no longer with us. Seems a car ended his days. Since that’s not too funny, I left it out. 😪

As for Hicks, he’s very much still here. As Jerry says to Charlotte in the film, Now Voyager…I see you around every corner.

Yes indeed, Susannah, humor brightens up each day. Luckily, children don’t get to name babies. My 5 yr old grandson wants to name his incubating cousin ‘Puffball’. My sister-in-law’s grandson wants to name his soon-to-be sister ‘Simba’.
Thirty plus years ago I ordered calamari by phone. After delivery I called the restaurant again, very upset. “There’s squid in my calamari!” Luckily this was before caller ID or redial. I had meant to order tortellini. In my defense, we weren’t as educated about food choices back then.
Have a humorous Wednesday, Susannah!

Squid doesn’t sound half as good as calamari. I think Simba is a good name, Puttball though, I’m on the fence about. 🙂

My ex-father-in-law has a page on Facebook called “giggles”. Each day has several jokes in it. His for yesterday went something like:
There’s a man trying to cross the street. As he steps off the curb a car comes screaming around the corner and heads straight for him. The man walks faster, trying to hurry across the street, but the car changes lanes and is still coming at him.
So the guy turns around to go back, but the car changes lanes again and is still coming at him. By now, the car is so close and the man so scared that he just freezes and stops in the middle of the road. The car gets real close, then swerves at the last possible moment and screeches to a halt right next him.
The driver rolls down the window. The driver is a squirrel. The squirrel says to the man, “See, it’s not as easy as it looks, is it?”

A sense of humor makes up for others lack of sense. Keep on laughing or at least smiling.

I’d be in a locked ward without my sense of humor, that’s for sure. KV had one as well. The Man Without a Country sure shows it. Very apt for today. Wish he were still here teaching us a thing or two. sigh
