Hypnotism at the Senior Center (submitted via e-mail by my brother, Tom Reichard)
It was entertainment night at the Senior Center.
Claude the hypnotist exclaimed: “I’m here to put you all into a trance. I intend to hypnotize each and every member of the audience.”
The excitement was almost electric as Claude withdrew a beautiful antique pocket watch from his coat. The polished metal gleamed in the light.
Claude the hypnotist said: “I want you each to keep your eyes on this antique watch. It’s a very special watch. It’s been in my family for six generations.”
He began to swing the watch gently back and forth while quietly chanting, “‘Watch the watch, watch the watch, watch the watch.”
The crowd became mesmerized as the watch swayed back and forth, light shimmering off its polished surface. Hundreds of pairs of eyes followed the swaying watch, until, suddenly, it slipped from the hypnotist’s fingers and fell to the floor, shattering into a hundred pieces.
“SHIT!” said the hypnotist.
It took three days to clean up the Senior Center…

Dear Reader:
You won’t fully appreciate the small details that totally make this picture unless you click on the image and check out the larger size. So, please. Humor me. Put down that darn Crackberry/iPhone, whatever and look at the full-size view.
Fondly,
ToadMama
Did you look at the larger version? Well, did you?
Why not?
(The faces this boy makes crack me up!)
K Finally Expelled Her Tapeworm

She really did. The above photo is a reenactment, staged by K’s foster Mom who just may have a sense of humor weirder than me. Maybe. If not, she’s pretty darn close!
Where Mom Jeans Really Come From
(submitted by Shannon, my oldest, globetrotting daughter)
Shannon found this Mom-cotton store in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt. That’s gotta be what they use to make Mom jeans, right? Mystery solved! Thanks, Shan.
Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought…
(found by little ole me while shopping for dog bones)
Amazon.com definitely has its pluses and its minuses, but I still shop there often because they have lots of stuff and you can usually find pretty good prices. For the life of me, I don’t know why local brick-and-mortar retailers either don’t sell compressed rawhide rolls or do sell them for exhorbitant prices. But that’s a whole ‘nother story.
I found the rawhide rolls on Amazon at a good price. And I got a little giggle out of the deal. Check out the “Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought” recommendation.
You’d think more than one person would have to buy this item for it to qualify as a recommendation, right? Could it just be a weird coincidence that multiple customers bought professional noise canceling earmuffs with the bones?
I confess, I didn’t so much giggle as just scratch my head and wonder what’s up with that?
Wacky Web Sites You Might Enjoy
(most of these were found by Hubby)
Is your partner one of those not-so-handy men? If yes, you should be able to relate to this one. If no, go look anyway, just for some giggles.
Do you always feel like somebody is watching you? Apparently, lots of other people do, too. They see Faces in Some of the Weirdest Places. You may never look at things around you in quite the same way.
Need a cartoon for your Blog? There are some cool–FREE–ones to use at www.BZToons.com. Like this one, which made me think of K’s foster Mom…
Here’s one that describes yesterday’s weather…
Speaking of crappy… you have reached the end of today’s post.
That’s a weak closing, I know. Sorry. I’ll try to do better tomorrow.
Belle: Mama?
Gaige asked Shannon how long it would take her to get here.
Here are some other images from the evening. The older kids wouldn’t be still long enough for me to get decent shots of them!
