We have talking birds, I still do, but my neighbor had so many she put hers out off her patio in an screened in room, I was out watering along my fence, where my corn was planted that year. and I had my pond at the end of ithe fence and "Ducky" and "Sir Drake" were in the pond mating, all of an sudden I heard this over the fence.".OH...will you LOOK at that!"...to which I replied..."Keep your eyes on YOUR own side of the fence!".. and left chuckling to myself.

Another time we use to have an Grayhound Racing Park not to far from here and they were going to have an big fireworks display for July 4th, and our freinds had come over that day to BBQ and we decided we go to this that evening...they were boys, my sister and were "tom boys" I think...so cars were parked for miles away from this place and we hopped out and told our parents we were going to walk down there...see if we could get in..which was closed because there was so many people there. So one of the guys decides we can jump up on the fence, help each other up and sit on it. Well, they really "struggled" getting us on top of the fence and to our dismay we find out that what was 8 foot tall climbing was another two foot drop on the other side...into an holding pen for the dogs apparently...all that was there was this wheelbarrow full of Hay mixed with "doggie-do" to break our fall. We told the guys, No way...we were NOT jumping into that, no way!...well, some nice policeman heard us and came over and he said, if you learned your lesson I'll help you off the end of the fence and you can walk out...we all shook our heads...YES..WE had learned our "lesson"....so we got out without the doggie-do "jump an roll" bit....nice fireworks also!

Here is one for Lynn....my hubby and I weren't to long married and we were still in the act of fancy dinners for four, when my girfriend brought over her new boyfriend for dinner. You know how you like those oh so proper impressions with people. Well, she had worn over an outfit that was an dress and pant into one outfit. first you got into the shorts part of this thing, pulled up the sleeves and buttoned up the front of it last. Well, she said she had to go to the bathroom, and she was in there for the longest time, we were begining to wonder what had happened to her, when I hear this .."Pisst..come here!'..so I went over there and she takes me into the bathroom with her around the door, now in the meantime the guys are out on the front livingroom sofa talking an wondering kind of what's going on. She tells me that by accident as she was flushing, her sleeve got into the toliet water, so she'd been rinsing off her sleeve trying to dry it before dinner...so here's what the guys heard out in the lvingroom.."Oh My god!"...laughing....Oh no!...some more laughing"..well I told her I had my hair dryer in the other room, maybe I could go an get it and she could dry her sleeve with that. Here's what the guys saw...me creeping to our  bedroom, with an big grin..taking the hair dryer and sheepishly going back into the bathroom with it..then more laughing. then the noise of the dryer for an bit, 'OUCH"..when she nearly burnt herself..then me coming out and sitting down with an sweet grin, and her coming out ..trying to look dignified...to which my hubby looks at me, and points to the bathroom and says, Can I ask what's going on? To which we both burst out laughing, and I said, "after dinner!"...Later dear! ..smiling. So much for making impressions with the "new" boyfriend!

I have a good one for you. I was 16 years old and was told by my parents that I could start dating. So I thought I would wear a dress to school that day to impress some of the guys. So as I walked up the street with my backpack on heading for school, I got halfway up the street when this car comes down the street really slow and the guys head seems to be on a rotating device but he just keeps looking at me with this huge smile on his face and finally disappears. I think to myself, what is wrong with that guy at which time I looked down at myself to see if I had put something on that didn't match when I noticed that my backpack had shifted my dress up around my waist. That guy got a nice look at my girdle!  I just about keeled over in embarassment. My face I am sure was as red as a beet for quite some time. Needless to say anytime I wore a dress to school I carried my books in my arms.

You all are so funny!  I can hardly see to write my own!

A few years back I was walking down town Boston with a couple of friends and we were having a heated discussion.  I was determined to get my point across when all of a sudden a bird crapped on my head.  My friends walked around calling me s*** head for the rest of the day. Embarassed

Yuck! LOL @ Lyn!

That reminds me of when I was about 4 years old. I was walking with my mother and all of a sudden I had to sneeze and when I did a big old wad of green stuff landed on the side walk in front of a person walking towards us! Embarassed  He was lucky it didn't land on his shoe. LOL!
