YOUR LIPS WILL SMILE

Your lips will smile.  Your brain will turn on the memory channel.  All I have to do is say three names:  Beaky Buzzard, Looney Tunes, and Baby Bumble Bee.

Ha, ha, ha, you replayed tht little cartoon in your mind, didn't you?  The one called The Bashful Buzzard by Warner Bros.?

“No, no, nope.  I don’t wanna.”  Yet you did!

I came across Mama and Beaky Buzzard while I was hunting appropriate one-liners for work on the internet.  At work the boss gave me a Fun Meter button and I’m trying to live up to it.  Here are a few I might use:

·      What did the bee say to the flower?    Hello, honey!

·      * What do you say to a beautiful blooming cactus?  You look sharp!

·      * What did the old flower say to the young flower? What’s up, bud?

·      * Which flower has a mouth?  The Tulip!

If you loved your Saturday morning cartoons like my siblings and I, then you probably also went to the theatre to watch Who Framed Roger Rabbit.  Ah-ha, you’re smiling again.

Those two ducks went at it voraciously, didn’t they?   Their dueling piano scene playing Liszt’s Hungarian Rhapsody #2 was energized!   And full of smart remarks!

Daffy:  “I’ve worked with a lot of wisecrackers but you are despicable.”  “This is the last time I work with someone with a speech impediment.” 

Donald:  “This is hot stuff!”

Remember Nestor and Dumbo?  Yep, you do.  You’re sporting a slow grin.  Though you love your political party, whether donkey or elephant, Nestor or Dumbo, you can still laugh at this one: 

·      *The Secret Service just this year had to change protocol for when the president is in danger. Instead of yelling, "get down!” they have to yell "Donald, duck!"

   Got a Goofy grin on your face?  Chuckle, I can just see it!  We’ll end with Snoopy.  Reading those comic strip thought-bubbles we know Snoopy, the voiceless dog, thinks, “Curse you, Red Baron” and “Rats”.  He consistently loses to the Red Baron with ne’er a spoken word.

So here’s the last joke:

·      *The other day, my wife asked me to pass her lipstick but I accidentally passed her a glue stick. She still isn't talking to me.  

   It's time for me to stop talking.  While you stay engaged in your own memory channel I'll disengage with a final image:  bow tied pink Porky Pig popping out of a bullseye, "Th-Th-The, Th-Th-The, Th-Th ... That's all, folks!"
