For
those of you old enough to remember Red Skelton, I think you will enjoy
this. For those of you not old enough you will see what you
missed. Either
way, his humor was always clean and he was a great entertainer. A
re-run of great 'one liner's' from the man who was known for his clean
humor.
RED SKELTON'S RECIPE FOR THE PERFECT MARRIAGE
1. Two times a week we go to a nice restaurant, have a
little beverage, good food and companionship.
She goes on Tuesdays, I go on Fridays.
2. We also sleep in separate beds.
Hers is in California, and mine is in Texas ..
3. I take my wife everywhere,
but she keeps finding her way back.
4. I asked my wife where she wanted to go for our anniversary.
"Somewhere I haven't been in a long time!" she said.
So I suggested the kitchen.
5. We always hold hands. If I let go, she shops.
6. She has an electric blender, electric
toaster and electric bread maker.
She said "There are too many gadgets, and no place
to sit down!" So I bought her an electric chair.
7. My wife told me the car wasn't running well
because there was water in the carburetor.
I asked where the car was. She told me, "In the lake."
8. She got a mud pack and looked great for two days.
Then the mud fell off.
9. She ran after the garbage truck, yelling, "Am I too late
for the garbage?" The driver said, "No, jump in!".
10. Remember: Marriage is the number one cause of divorce.
11. I married Miss Right. I just didn't know her
first name was 'Always'.
12. I haven't spoken to my wife in 18 months.
I don't like to interrupt her.
13. The last fight was my fault though.
My wife asked, "What's on the TV?"
I said, "Dust!".
Can't you just hear him say all of these?

I love it. These were the good old days when humor
didn't have to start with a four letter word.
It was just clean and simple fun.
And he always ended his programs with the words,
"And May God Bless" with a big smile on his face.

Morning Glories!
No there were not any cuss words but the jokes were still at the expense of the wife. I know I am a party pooper but if you really read the context it is still perpetuated today. Notice no jokes about him being a less than perfect spouse. Okay off my soapbox.
Sounds the like The Hawaii 5-0 group is having a blast! Sounds fantastic! Loving the pictures on FB.
Getting packed this weekend, as I am heading to Vancouver with Mr. Lynn D next week.
Waving a wing at ya all!
DIANNE - Red was one of my Dad's fav comics!
LYNN - Merrrrnin' Pooper ;) We r having a blast! Enjoy your trip next week :)
DI: My parents watched The Red Skelton Show. I remember a couple of his characters..Clem Kadiddlehopper..a name that made me giggle when I was a kid..and still makes me smile..and then there was a clown..I'd have to Google that name. Ok..did that..wow the speed of the internet! It was Freddy the Freeloader.
I sure can hear him saying everyone of those..and I can vouch for the dust on the TV one causing a little tiff..js.. :D
LYNN: 'ello gorgeous! Yay! I'm glad you're getting to go to Vancouver next week! Make sure to pack your artist supplies! :)
JODI: Looks like you guys are having a great time..more pics please!! :)
Zona I plan on taking them! :)
TINA - I had a teriyaki and swiss burger for lunch and thought of u :)
Today we went to Chinatown and visited TURTLE'S Mr. Yee. I've never had acupuncture before. I was hoping he could help me with my right leg. I stepped wonky off a curb at the airport on Wednesday, and it's been giving me fits on and off ever since. Hell getting old....°sigh°
ZONA - Forgot my camera today, but snapped a few with my phone!
Hey Everyone....how are you all doing? I'm a little grouchy tonight at Louis and its carrying over into my night.
Jodi, hope you knee gets better ...you don't even know what old is....be careful.
Lynn, have a good get away trip. Paint and relax...sounds like fun.
Zona, actually I was never crazy about Red Skelton. I was just kind of passing blogs on. My parents liked him a lot too and I'm really too young to remember most of him. :)
Published before I was ready...I wanted to ask Barb what she was doing today? Our play from the other night got a not so great review in the paper today.
DIANNE - Don't b grouchy! What did he do?
Grrrrr
Another quick fly-by! Took a little nap , now getting ready t go to dinner. We are doing Italian tonight :)
The acupuncture relaxed me wayyyy too much,, but after my nap I am ready to roll!!
I like Red S. I never minded his jokes about his wife anymore than I minded Phyllis Diller's jokes about Fang LOL!!!
Last night we almost needed the bail money! I guess we were just a tad rowdy out in the Lani at 1 am lol. We heard a loud tap on the door. It was security telling us to pipe down jeesh, party pooper. lol!!
Later...
Be good Dianne!
