The Trouble Started With the Left Leg...

By pioneer - Mon, 02/25/2008 - 12:42pm

There's a lot of sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, so it might be worth reflecting on the death of a very important person, which almost went unnoticed recently.

Larry LaPrise, the man who wrote 'The Hokey Pokey' died peacefully at the age of 93. The most traumatic part for his family was getting him in the coffin.

They put his left leg in...and then the trouble started.

Oh, come on and laugh...You know it's funny.

Another giggle

An old country preacher had a teenage son, and it was getting time the boy should give some thought to choosing a profession.

Like many young men, the boy didn't really know what he wanted to do, and he didn't seem too concerned about it.

One day, while the boy was away at school, His father decided to try an experiment.

He went into the boy's room and placed on His study table four objects:

- a Bible,
- a silver dollar,
- a bottle of whisky and
- a Playboy magazine

"I'll just hide behind the door," the old Preacher said to himself, "when he comes home from school this afternoon, I'll see which object he picks up."

If it's the Bible, he's going to be a preacher like me, and what a blessing that would be! If he picks up the dollar, he's going to be a businessman, and that would be okay, too. But If he picks up the bottle, he ' s going to be a no-good drunkard, and, Lord, what a shame that would be. And worst of all, if he picks up that magazine he's gonna be a skirt-chasin' bum."

The old man waited anxiously, and soon heard his son's footsteps. As he entered the house whistling and headed for his room.

The boy tossed his books on the bed, and as he turned to leave the room he spotted the objects on the table. With curiosity in his eye, he walked over to inspect them. Finally, he picked up the Bible and placed it under his arm He picked up the silver dollar and dropped it into his pocket. He uncorked the bottle and took a big drink while he admired this month's centerfold.

"Lord have mercy," the old preacher disgustedly whispered, " He's gonna run for Congress!"

Doing the Hokey Pokey

Who knows for sure what got to him? It very well could have been the 30 day sex challenge that got to him. After all, this joke was a real GROANER, according to Uncle Rich.

Pioneer admits to being so naive that the term GROANER had to be explained.

Nevertheless, all of the jokes and comments today have made me smile and brightened a very serious and traumatic day for me.
