One Mans Opinion

Part IMy wife and I spent the earlier part of last week with my parents inHartsville, SC. For those of you that dont know, Moms 82 andDads 91. They arent quite as speedy as they use to be physically,but their minds are still pretty sharp. Anyway, Joan and I took a couple of days to do some clean upand repairs around the house. Joan took the inside and I took the outside. Now mind you, I paysomeone to do my yard here because I felt like I was getting to old to be out there all the time, otherthan to work in our garden. But in Hartsville, Im the Kid doing the work. So here I am, using theweed eater to clean the drainage ditches in front of the house sweating and huffing and puffing andthe neighbor across the street whom Ive know since I was 14 years old, called out and asked if Icould clean their drainage ditch too. Now, I grew up with his son, he and his wife are in the sameage range as my parents so they too arent as speedy as they once were. I had to agree, because Iwas the Neighborhood Kid that day. So the moral of the story is: Anytime youre feeling old and rundown, go around some Really Old people. If only for a little while youll feel like a Kid again.

Part IIThe HOT SPOT Garden / Farm is doing well. So far weve harvested a few strawberries, a fewwhite potatoes a couple of onions and some extremely fine heads of Romaine Lettuce. We haveabout 100 green tomatoes, a dozen or so baby squash, about 20 or more little cucumbers, a fewpeppers and countless little beans all of which will be ready to pick in a few weeks.. All total weplanted, two types of tomatoes, potatoes, okra, two types of squash, bell peppers, watermelon,

Catawba melon, cucumbers, green beans, lima beans, cabbage, lettuce, corn and onions. It wontbe long now.

Just, One Mans Opinion.Live Long and Prosper

Rodney and Wilma his wife are awakened at 3

o'clock early one Saturday morning by a loud

pounding on the door. Rodney gets up and

goes to the door where he sees a drunken

stranger, standing in the pouring rain.

"Could you give us a push" says the swaying

stranger."Not a chance," says the husband, "It

is three o'clock in the morning." He slams the

door and returns to bed. "Who was that?"

asked his wife.

"Just some drunk guy asking for a push," he

answers. "Did you help him?" Wilma asks.

"No. I did not. It is three o'clock in the morn-

ing and it is pouring with rain outside.

His wife said, "Don't you remember about

three months ago when we broke down and

those two guys helped us? I think you should

help him, and you should be ashamed of your-

self.

Rodney does as he is told, gets dressed andgoes out into the pouring rain. He calls out

into the dark, "Hello! Are you still there?"

"Yes," comes back the answer.

"Do you still need a push?" calls out Rodney.

"Yes. Please." comes the reply from the dark-

ness.

"Where are you?" asks Rodney. "Over here onthe swing," replies the drunk.

Bernie and Eddie were fortunate enough

to have a season ticket to watch the At-

lanta Falcons. They could not help no-

ticing that there was always a spare seat

next (K37) to them and they had a

friend who would love to buy a season

ticket, especially if all three could have

seats together.

One half-time Bernie went to the ticket

office and asked if they could by buy

the season ticket for K37. The official

said that unfortunately the ticket hadbeen sold. Nevertheless, week after

week the seat was still empty.

Then at the Playoffs, much to Bernie

and Eddie's amazement the seat was

taken for the first time that season.

Eddie could not resist asking the new-

comer, 'Where have you been all sea-son'. Don't ask he said, the wife bought

the season ticket back last summer, and

kept it for a surprise Christmas present.

Dear Abby, I've suspected that my husband hasbeen fooling around, and when confronted withthe evidence, he denied everything, and then saidit would never happen again.

Dear Abby, I joined the Navy to see the world.Now I've seen it, how do I get out?

Dear Abby, My forty year old son has been payinga psychiatrist $50.00 an hour every week for twoand a half years. He must be crazy.

Dear Abby, I was married to Bill for three monthsand I didn't know he drank until one night hecame home sober.

A football coach walked into the changing

room before a game. He looked over to his

new signing and said, "I'm not supposed to let

you play since you failed arithmetic, but we

need you to be in the team. So, what I have to

do is ask you a math question, and if you getit right then you will be allowed to play."

The player agreed, so coach looked into his

eyes intently and asked, "Okay, now concen-

trate hard and tell me the answer to this. What

is two plus two?"

The player thought for a moment and then an-

swered, "4?""Did you say 4?" the coach exclaimed, ex-

cited that he had got it correct.

Suddenly all the other players on the team be-

gan shouting..., "Come on coach, give him

another chance!"

Michael was watching the soccer game be-

tween Manchester United and Liverpool;

The stadium was packed and there was onlyone empty seat - next to Michael.

'Who does that seat belong to?' asked the

person in the next seat. 'My wife usually sits

there.' Michael replied

'But why isn't she here?' the neighbor per-

sisted

'She died.' Said Michael in a matter-of-fact

tone.

'So why didn't you give the ticket to one of

your friends?'

'They've all gone to the funeral.' Said Mi-

chael.

In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with abig kettle that always hung over the fire. Every day

they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They ate

mostly vegetables and did not get much meat.

They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers

in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the

next day. Sometimes stew had food in it that had

been there for quite a while. Hence the rhyme, "Peasporridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the

pot nine days old."

Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them

feel quite special. When visitors came over, theywould hang up their bacon to show off. It was a sign

of wealth that a man could "bring home the bacon."

They would cut off a little to share with guests and

would all sit around and "chew the fat."

Those with money had plates made of pewter. Foodwith high acid content caused some of the lead toleach onto the food, causing lead poisoning death.

This happened most often with tomatoes, so for the

next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poi-sonous.

Bread was divided according to status. Workers gotthe burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the mid-

dle, and guests got the top, or "upper crust."

Lead cups were used to drink ale or whisky. The

combination would sometimes knock the imbibersout for a couple of days. Someone walking along the

road would take them for dead and prepare them forburial. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a

couple of days and the family would gather around

and eat and drink and wait and see if they wouldwake up. Hence the custom of holding a "wake."

England is old and small and the local folks startedrunning out of places to bury people. So they would

dig up coffins and would take the bones to a "bone-

house" and reuse the grave. When reopening thesecoffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to havescratch marks on the inside and they realized they

had been burying people alive. So they would tie a

string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through thecoffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell.

Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all

night (the "graveyard shift") to listen for the bell.Thus, someone could be "saved by the bell" or was

considered a "dead ringer."

Historical Truths

Most people got married in June because they took

their yearly bath in May, and still smelled pretty goodby June. However, they were starting to smell, so

brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body

odor.Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when

getting married.

Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. Theman of the house had the privilege of the nice clean

water, then all the other sons and men, then the

women and finally the children. Last of all the babies.By then the water was so dirty you could actually

lose someone in it. Hence the saying, "Don't throw

the baby out with the bath water."

Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw-piled high,

with no wood underneath. It was the only place for

animals to get warm, so all the cats and other smallanimals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof. When it rained

it became slippery and sometimes the animals would

slip and off the roof. Hence the saying "It's rainingcats and dogs."

There was nothing to stop things from falling into thehouse. This posed a real problem in the bedroom

where bugs and other droppings could mess up yournice clean bed. Hence, a bed with big posts and asheet hung over the top afforded some protection.

That's how canopy beds came into existence.

The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had somethingother than dirt. Hence the saying "dirt poor."

The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery

in the winter when wet, so they spread thresh (straw)

on floor to help keep their footing. As the winter

wore on, they adding more thresh until when youopened the door it would all start slipping outside. A

piece of wood was placed in the entranceway. Hencethe saying a 'thresh hold."

square. Each Sudoku has a

unique solution that can be reached

logically without guessing.

One day David went to an auction. While he was

there, he bid for a parrot. David really wanted

this bird, so he got caught up and thoroughly in-

volved in the bidding. He kept on bidding, but

kept getting outbid, so he bid higher and higher

and higher.

Finally, after he had bid much more than he had

intended, David won the bid; the parrot was his

at last. As he was paying for the parrot, he said

to the auctioneer, "I hope this parrot can talk. I

would hate to have paid this much for it, only to

find out that he can't talk!" "Don't worry." said

the auctioneer, "He can talk. Who do you think

kept bidding against you?"
