A Wee Joke...

Got this from a British friend. I edited slightly from the quote she sent, to avoid copyright issues, in the unikely event of any. But I think it's so old that it's probably in the public domain.


My mother-in-law fell down a wishing well. Until then, I doubted that they worked!

Very wee...

Very wee...

I'm easily amused.

I thought is was good for a laugh.

Reminds me of a reply that Mr. Spock said after Captain Kirk said something funny in the episode: A Piece of the Action. I dont remember what was said but Spocks reply was something like "Your getting a miniscule--a small (emphasizing with his thumb and forefinger) piece of the action.

There's an English professor who has identical twins named Metonomy and Synecdoche.

You can't tell them apart.

I love my M-I-L dearly, but the visual of her getting winched out of a skanky ol' well makes me chuckle....a lot!

There was a Judge Hogg in Texas who named his daughter Ima. The rumor that there was another daughter named Ura is not true. Miss Hogg went on to become a very well known socialite and contributror to many cultural causes.

(My personal feeling is that Judge Hogg should have been horsewhipped).

Many years ago when my sister was a social worker she had a client family with boy-girl twins they had named Lucifer and Gazebo.

There has to be a special department of hell for parents who would do that.

A man and his wife were having a terrible argument. She finally said "That's it. I'm going to live with my mother". When she informed her mother, she said "Oh no, dear. If you really want to make him miserable, let me come live with you!"

Just Sayin'..............

Did you read the Modesty Blaise book called, "I, Lucifer"? But I think the villain in it chose his own name.

I heard her husband used to call her "Urma."

Just think, everyone's mother-in-law is someone's mother, I think…

I'd say that is better than Moon Unit Zappa.

Or Apple--named by the young gal who rose to fame while working for Disney-and who used to have a relationship with Justin Timber-something or other.

This is a true story...that aint all...Ima Hogg was very rich and owns many works of western art. I don't know if she is still alive though. Between her and Sid Richardson {another Texas millionaire} they had just about all of Frederick Remington's paintings. I have gotta somehow get to Tay-haaas!!!

Well, I get Justin Timberlake, who was with Britney Spears. Weren't they married?

Did they have a kid named Apple? Will some Hollywood type have one named Dell? Or, Orange or Tangerine? Hey, there WAS a girl named Tangerine on CSI last night!

I saw Aussie model Miranda Kerr making it pretty clear that she liked Justin before she married Orlando Bloom, a marriage now gone by the wayside. They have a child, but his name isn't really odd, although it escapes me at the moment.

I don't know recent Disney performers well. Miley Cyrus was one, as Hannah Montana. But was she with Timberlake? I thought he usually had better taste. A little better, anyway.
Come to think of it, was Timberlake a Disney teen performer? I don't pay him a lot of attention, but think I heard that on an entertainment show.

A former in-law of mine and my step-sister named kids after Texas counties. I probably shouldn't mention names, as his brother is a highly public figure. But they weren't amused when I asked if the next kid was going to be named Bexar, the county where San Antonio is located. (Actually, the names they chose aren't bad, but are county names. I could see an amusing trend...)

I don't think she ever married. She did collect a lot of very good art, and I think she was also a patron of music.

Little Willie mad as hell, threw his sister down a well. Mother said while drawing water, 'its so hard to raise a daughter.'

That one has stuck with me for some reason.

True story. I came to work my shift and my co-worker was visibly upset. I asked him why and he told me he had to fly to AZ to attend his sister's wedding. I asked whats the big deal and he told me she's marrying some guy who's lastname was Bates. Well, it took me awhile but I finally got it - co-worker's lastname was Master.

I wish someone had sent that one to Jay Leno, when he read odd wedding names.

I'm going to steal the one about the daughter & send it to my friend in the UK..

Years ago one of my neighbors was blessed with the family name of Head. One night we were visiting him and his pregnant wife. He said if the baby was a boy he would name him Richard so he could call him by his nickname. His wife said that she would kill him if he did that.

Oh, it was a girl.
