Oh the humanity! It is gone gone gone!!

Roy brought an expensive pair of shoes.

His cat found the shoes and chewed on them.

Roy was beside himself with anger. The cat saw that it was time to move on and ran away.

Weeks later while Roy was talking to friends, one of his friends saw the cat behind a bush and said, "Pardon me, Roy is that the cat that chewed your new shoes?"

I wonder how many will get that one! One of my boot camp stories involves the original to that line!

[BrianShaw]

I don't get it. Would somebody please explain.

Well, see, there's there's this guy named Roy, and he has this cat, and this cat tore up his footwear, and Roy got mad, and the cat ran away, and then this other guy came along and saw the cat outside, and asked him about it.

Try thinking of the first line of a tune popular about 70 years ago.

Here it is-

A> Simon and Garfunkel put out an album called "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme.
B> A group covered a song off that album, which became their biggest hit.
C> That group also did well with another popular song they covered, and that is the relevance.

Thus spake the sage.


But if I'd wanted to mislead him I would have said it was a song by Rosemary Clooney.
Or Elvis Parsley.

Did you ever get a copy of this cookbook: "First you take a Leek" by Maxine Saltonstall and Virginia Carroll?

I love the cover art: http://www.amazon.com/First-Take-Leek-Maxine-Saltonstall/dp/080483461X

 

[Photo Engineer]

Yeah, but that was in 2001.

Actually, it was quite a bit earlier. In fact, some parts of that saga predate the Bible. It is still considered holy writ by Zoroastrians and is still alive and well. That was a "God like reference" then on my part. Reference mind you, not a God like statement by me.

I was talking about the movie, dude.

"Pardon me, Roy is that the cat that chewed your new shoes?"
"Track 29"
"Roy, you can give me a shine"

 

[lxdude]

The cat's name is Track 29?

The actual words are racist IMHO. I think we should drop it.

Is "The first herd shot around the world." offensive?
