Your Friday Smile!

Our flight was being served by an obviously gay flight attendant, who seemed to put everyone in a good mood as he served us food and drinks.

As the plane prepared to descend, he came swishing down the aisle and told us that "Captain Marvey has asked me to announce that he'll be landing the big scary plane shortly, so, lovely people, if you could just put your trays up, that would be super."

On his trip back up the aisle, he noticed that this well-dressed and rather Arabic-looking woman hadn't moved a muscle.
"Perhaps you didn't hear me over those big brute engines but I asked you to raise your trazy-poo, so the main man can pitty-pat us on to the ground."

The woman calmly turned her head and said "in my country I am called Princess and I take orders from no-one."

To which the flight attendant replied, without missing a beat "Well, sweet-cheeks, in my country I'm called a Queen, so I outrank you. TRAY-UP, BITCH!"

I wish I could find me some of these towells... they are just too much!

My mother taught me to read when I was four years old (her first mistake).

One day, I was in the bathroom and noticed one of the cabinet doors was ajar.
I read the box in the cabinet. I then asked my mother why she was keeping 'napkins' in the bathroom. Didn't they belong in the kitchen?

Not wanting to burden me with unnecessary facts, she told me that those were for "special occasions" (her second mistake).

Now fast forward a few months... It's Thanksgiving Day, and my folks are leaving to pick up my uncle and his wife for dinner. Mom had assignments for all of us while they were gone. Mine was to set the table.

When they returned, my uncle came in first and immediately burst into laughter. Next came his wife who gasped, then began giggling. Then came Mom, who almost died of embarrassment when she saw each place setting on the table with a "special occasion" Kotex napkin at each plate, with the fork carefully arranged on top. I had even tucked the little tail in so they didn't hang off the edge!!

My mother asked me why I used these and, of course, my response sent the other adults into further fits of laughter. "But, Mom, you said they were for special occasions!!!"

Isn't it easier to just tell the truth?!

Have a great weekend everyone
& happy Memorial day to my US friends!

Absolutely FREAKING Priceless!!! I always get a great laugh out of your friday jokes, but gosh...THAT is just too sweet - special occasion napkins.

It makes me honestly rethink some of the stuff I have passed on explaining to the Porcupine [our 9 yo] hee!

Hugs and have a great weekend.
