I’d never trust a parrot perched on the shoulder of my jacket. . They have neither manners or modesty when it’s time to…..

  My husband and I got suckered into having our photos taken with parrots belonging to some huckster in Hawaii who charged to have pictures taken with his birds. The critters didn’t do their business on our shoulders, but they chomped the heck out of our ears. Fortunately, we didn’t have to pay extra for that!

    I suppose this means no elephant pictures either.

Ahoy, Carl! My mother taught me “Never trust a man with a parrot on his shoulder.”

I scan newspapers and mags all the time for photos to make jokes. If you start to play with this process you be amazed how the jokes come to you. One always gets a laugh. Get photo of any politician or group thereof and write “trust me” in the balloon. I want to thank you for commenting this morning. You see I had multiple “baby” heart attacks in March of 2006 and had to retire from my classroom after 34 years. It was especially heartwarming to hear someone say “You’re giving me ideas” again. It has been a long time since I have heard that. So please take every idea that may come to mind, play off it, create your own and have fun! Please visit my sandwich post like yours. I am pretty sure it’s 9/3/10 which makes our conversation this morning a double coincidence.

  They are perfect for me since I am no great artist. The other person draws, I just insert the joke. By the way, thank you for supporting my blog with your visits and comments.

Ya can’t trick a trickster, so I’ve been told.

We are kindred spirits of sorts Carl; it’s been 9 1/2yrs. since I quite smoking.

  I’m down to about 15 a day. Yeah, Miami is con and scam town. I can smell em a mile away and I cut them off and tell them you can’t put no booggie wooggie on the king of rock and roll. Our immigrant population and elderly are the most vulnerable victims. On the other hand if you don’t look for the treasure you will not find a treasure.

  Ah, yes the rum or as our Puritan fathers of 1600’s Massachusetts called it “ye stronge Jamaican drinke” Those were the days but on Mar 2, I will have been sober 9 years.

The treasure chest looks to me to be loaded with ferrero rocher chocolates!

  One man’s treasure is another man’s candy or something like that.

Funny! Today Ivan and I listened to the first half of a BBC radio production on CD of Robinson Crusoe. Good timing!

  I loved that story from childhood and if you can find the old black and white production of Treasure Island with Wallace Beery he will be enchanted by that as well.

Guess you better brush up on your pirate-speak! Do you look good with a wooden leg? Don’t worry, there are benefits. Like barrels of rum. And a pet parrot to sit on your shoulder. And the eye patch! And making people you don’t like walk the plank!
