Boxing a Compass - means explaining the thirty-two points of a compass. Didcha know that? Well - I recently learned that too.
Kovie - of Shop B, has developed into a checker champ. Just because I believe I can play checkers is no criterion Kovie is a champ. Quite the contrary, cause he beats me makes me "a chump."
Earl (G.), take it easy. It's always darkest just before dawn. The Authors should see you put the nuts & bolts together. It would be hard to believe, your adeptness is the same in assembling words.
Dickie of Shop M. recently joined our local choir. When Dickie heard that "Birdseye Ice Cream," is good for the voice, or any brand of Ice Cream, Dickie has been in the market for Ice Cream. But aren't we all?
I was showing "Bok Sok" a Rosary I received from Mother La Belle. Bok said: "Now be sure and don't peddle it." The only thing I am interested in acquiring is more than a little knowledge. 'Cause a "little" knowledge is a dangerous thing.
Here's hoping our friends of Shop M. "Garry and Jenks" lick the "Flu Bug" and are noticed again really tearing the pages off the calendar. Jenks, this is no time to be sick. Since justice was for a change extended to one of us. May both of you have future - happy days - free!
During my limited travels, I have bumped into some pretty rough characters. Some I could out talk, some outrun, on some I had to "lower the boom." But - If I ever hear a guy again say, "Me no scare for you," in just a certain tone, that's where the one that says the above is left standing alone!
Anything told this writer, in the form of a message is taboo. But - David, known in Winona as Whitey was so pleased with a very loving and inspirational card that "Chickie" sent him. I'm sure "no one" will object if "they" saw the "big smile" "Chickie's" card brought to David's face!
Whitey of Woodshop, has been hording sawdust. When queried, replied - All I need is a press. When asked what he would do with a press. Why Chump, - "cause that's me name," I'll press this sawdust into blocks and sell it during this coal shortage. Hard as his head is, I think he's going to use the blocks for a pillow.
