Funny pic/gif thread...

Which reminds me of the stories ....

Dorothy Parker tells me of the last time she encountered Playwright Clare Boothe. The two ladies were trying to get out of a doorway at the same time. Clare drew back and cracked, “Age before beauty, Miss Parker.” As Dotty swept out, she turned to the other guests and said. “Pearls before swine.”​

Ira Gershwin got a teaching gig at Oxford. He was not happy trying to pass on musical wisdom to disinterested kids. He told a friend, "I feel like I'm casting fake pearls before real swine."

According to a Hollywood legend there was a pointed verbal encounter between the movie siren Jean Harlow and the sharp-tongued English aristocrat Margot Asquith. When Harlow attended a party given by Asquith, the movie star presumptuously referred to the hostess by her first name, and she repeatedly mispronounced it as “Margott”, i.e., she pronounced a “t” at the end of the name. Eventually, Asquith responded with a squelcher:

No, no, Jean. The ‘t’ is silent, as in Harlow.

Some think this story is apocryphal...some don't.

…………………...


I was at the zoo and noticed the electric wires going around the usual very tall fence, the highest one over the fence and obviously heavier wire than the other two. I asked a friend that worked there, "The go see Jesus wire?" "Right!" They didn't want to hurt their cats but people had a higher priority.

The push maneuver is real!

I don't believe in doing it though...
Sometimes they don't even need it!
