It might cause an eclipse - but more by mooning than moon ...

apparently Leslie Nielson had almost no sense of humour, which was why he was able to stay so straight and serious filming all of those types of pun and satire based films. he just didnt get the humour, but that makes them so much better as it makes everything seem almost normal

I'd actually forgotten the product even existed.

I just came this on another site, and it makes you think about how things are today. Kids just don't know what it was like for us older generation 😁

 

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL BORN IN 1930's, 1940's, 50's, 60's, 70's and Early 80's !!! First, you survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us. They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a tin, and didn't get tested for diabetes. Then after that trauma, your baby cots were covered with bright coloured lead-based paints. You had no childproof lids on medicine ..medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when you rode your bikes, you had no helmets, not to mention, the risks you took hitch-hiking .. As children, you would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags. Riding in the back of a van - loose - was always great fun. You drank water from the garden hosepipe and NOT from a bottle. You shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this. You ate cakes, white bread and real butter and drank pop with sugar in it, but you weren't overweight because...... YOU WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!!

You would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the street lights came on. No one was able to reach you all day. And you were OK. You would spend hours building your go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out you forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, you learned to solve the problem . You did not have Play stations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 99 channels on cable, no video tape movies, no surround sound, no mobile phones, no text messaging, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chat rooms..........YOU HAD FRIENDS and you went outside and found them! You fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents you played with worms(well most boys did) and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever. You made up games with sticks and tennis balls and although you were told it would happen, you did not poke out any eyes. You rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just yelled for them! Local teams had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!! The idea of a parent bailing you out if you broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law! This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever! The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas. You had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and you learned HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL! And YOU are one of them! CONGRATULATIONS! You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated our lives for our own good. And while you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave their parents were.

Unless you’re involved with Trumps latest hearing in which case the jury panel starts off numbering 96 which eventually gets whittled down to 32, who then face a questionnaire and the hope is that within a fortnight they’ll have found a suitable jury 🙄

Well.....perhaps

 

General observation: never mess with anyone wearing Marigolds

 

( esp if 'Borderforce' are involved )

I don't think the gag works with 'Supertouch nitrile' or 'Polyco taskmaster' gloves being planted

Reminds me of when I lived near Norwich in the 1980's/1990's - at the weekends you could often see a young man wearing Marigolds believing he was directing traffic at the first roundabout on the A11 coming into Norwich from the Newmarket direction.

 

First question at work on Monday morning was "Did you see Marigold?".

[J.R.]

In Worthing it was a guy in a pinstripe suit, bowler hat and Comic Relief red nose!
