OT: Something to laugh about

[MacDaddy]

With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, it
is worth reflecting on the death of a very important person, which
almost went unnoticed last week.

Larry LaPrise, the man who wrote "The Hokey Pokey," died peacefully at
age 93. The most traumatic part for his family was getting him into the
coffin. They put his left leg in. And then the trouble started.

Good story, but ...

Larry LaPrise died: 4 April 1996 in Gooding, Idaho

Knees bend, arms stretch, rah rah rah!

Cheers,

Seán.

PS Here in the UK we say Hokey Cokey, for some reason.

News sometimes travels slowly here in the States! ;o)

Just the thought of that one should keep me grinning all day at work LOL

I have a T-shirt that says: "What if the Hokey Pokey really is what it's all about?"

 

[TPPhotog]

Frank does that mean you have discovered the question to the answer 42? 😀

 

[Stephanie Brim]

42 is the answer to everything. Duh.

😀

When I saw this t-shirt in a store I broke out laughing. (I'm odd.) It works on several levels. First of all, it causes you to hear that silly song in your head, one that sometimes sticks and you can't get rid of it, then you think of the question, "Is life a dance?", and then there's the sexual connotation. 🙂 And clearly the answer is "Yes."

"Life" is what happens to us while we are making other plans.

Can't remember who said that. Probably Twain.

And I dream of a world where the motives of chickens in traversing a via isn't questioned...

By the way, did any of you think about why the tie is like an arrow pointing right towards THAT body part of the male person?

 

[FrankS]

That CAN'T be just a coincidence.

I thought it was John Lennon, but then, he may have been quoting Twain.
