Welcome to the April 7th (Berleen’s Daddy’s 76th Birthday) version of Thursday Thunks!
(which we always seem to post on Wednesday)
Where we make you think a little bit before you blog!

We pick a subject, and your job is to interpret it anyway you want. Write about it on your blog… simple as that. Maybe you can interpret it as a picture – we don’t care!
Please only leave a link if you have written a Thursday Thunks post. Please mention us in your post, and link back to the blog here.
Don’t forget to go visit the other participants’ blogs. Read and comment about all their Thursday Thunks! Thats what all this is about afterall, isn’t it? We’ll have so much fun and become lifelong friends….

These questions were inspired by the late George Carlin. His quotes are in bold. They were gathered from his routines. The TT questions are brought to you by Bud, the color KC’s eyes and the number 3.

1. Why do they ask you to get on the plane? Shouldn’t you get in it? When was your last flight?

About ten or eleven years ago. I used to fly a lot when I was a kid, mostly over seas. Once when we were flying back to Spain, my brother woke up from a nap and went to the restroom. The next thing we knew we heard some kid screaming and the flight attendants were running toward the back of the plan. My dad decided to see what was going on. It seems some kid had locked himself in the bathroom. Dad slid the little occupied sign over to available and out pops my brother. My dad was very surprised. My brother had still been half asleep, and had forgotten how to open the bathroom door.

2. Why do they call two planes getting too close a near miss? Shouldn’t it be a near hit? Have you ever been on a plane that was in trouble?

Not that I have been aware of.

3. If a mute swears, does his mother wash his hands with soap? What have you done when your child sweared?

My daughter makes a point of not swearing. My son is 20 and in the Marines, I am sure he swears often.

4. How about a restaurant for anorexics? What would you call it? The Empty Plate? When was the last time you went out to a fancy restaurant?

Years. It just not in our budget to do that.

5. Where do forest rangers go to ‘get away from it all’? What to you do to get away from it all?

The bathroom

6. Why do people who know the least know it the loudest? What do you do to get a know-it-all to shut up?

I walk away from them.

7. If a man speaks in the forest and there is no woman to hear him, is he still wrong? Men: does your woman (or most recent) think that you are always wrong? Women: Do you believe that men are always wrong?

No. Only sometimes.

8. If a turtle loses his shell, is it naked or homeless? Tell us about a time when you were caught naked.

ummm it happened just yesterday…….that is all of the story you are getting.

9. Would a fly that loses it wings be called a walk? How badly do flies annoy you?

Flies make me nutty. They are gross and annoying all at the same time.

10. Why do they report power outages on TV? When was the last time that you went without power?

Just a few weeks ago. The worst time we ever lost power was about four years ago. We had an ice storm and we lost power for three days. When we have not power, we have no water since we are on a well. When we lost power that time we had just gotten an order of one day old chicks in. They have to stay very warm and need light to eat. We put their brooder on a table and put them in front of the fireplace. We kept the fire very hot so that the chicks would stay warm, and put a battery powered lantern in the brooder so they would eat. We must have done a good job, because we did not lose any chicks during the power outage.

11. If vegetarians eat vegetables, what do humanitarians eat? Have you ever been or considered to be a vegetarian?

No way, not even for a second.

12. If the cops arrest a mime, do they tell him he has the right to remain silent? Tell us about a time when either you were arrested or came close.

I have never been arrested, but when I was committed to the psychiatric hospital, I had to go by sheriff’s car. I had to ride in the back. The deputy could have handcuffed me, but since I was calm at the time, he chose not too.

13. Why isn’t there mouse-flavored cat food? Have you ever owned a cat?

We currently have two outside cats.
