Just a chime....or??

[arr&bee]

Hey we don't discriminate,they may be a little dead but the cash is alive.

[Jerry Oz]

I worked with zombies on my last job. If you don't think the dead can come to life, you need to stop by and see them at quitting time on Friday.

[arr&bee]

You should see em at the bar after some of this wonderful elixur,they just stumble all over the place.

[Jerry Oz]

They serve your hooch at bars? Then why would I need to deal with you to get it? I'll just send the little kid from next door to pick me up a dozen wings and a cask of hooch from the Olde Shooting Gallery Grill & Tavern.

[[Better he goes than me; it's not named 'Olde Shooting Gallery' for nothing...)

[arr&bee]

Jerry,the bar i was referring to only serves zombies,you would be out of place...[and luck]if you stumbled in there.

[Jerry Oz]

I'll just carry my Bible and a handful of 'Watchtowers' and they'll avoid me like I had the plague.

[arr&bee]

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...je rry you're my hero.

[Jerry Oz]

I'm glad you feel that way. Why didn't you open the door last week when I came by to witness to you? I see you peeking from behind the sofa as I looked into your window.

[arr&bee]

Oh,was that you??i thought it was the feds....[nobody knocks that early in the morning]they've been after me for years..jerry i might have unleashed my untrained[pet peeve]but he was passed out drunk..next time call first...123-h-o-o-c-h.

[Jerry Oz]

Ummm... What's the area code?

[arr&bee]

I don't know...i move around alot...pick one.

[Jerry Oz]

My lucky number has always been seven. I play 7-7-7 in the Pick three, 7-7-7-7 in the Pick Four, and 7-7-7-7-7 in the Pick Five. I'm waiting for them to come up with a Pick Seven.

Anyways, as soon as I hit a few of these numbers, I'll have your cash.

[arr&bee]

Gee jerry,i don't know if i'll live that long.

[144man]

Are the odds against 7-7-7-7-7 greater than any other five specified numbers coming up?

[westgrandboulevard]

I wouldn't bet on it.

[arr&bee]

1-2-3-4-5...???

[144man]

The odds are exactly the same.

[arr&bee]

Ohhhh,i get it now,it's about odd,then heck i'm a winner,pay me.

[Jerry Oz]

Wow. Sometimes you are odd, amigo. And with the disability laws in the USA, I'm pretty sure the government will pay you something for that. Call the Law Offices of Ambu Lanschacer, Esq. and see if he can help you out.

[144man]

The odds on him getting paid out are evens........my head hurts......

[arr&bee]

I got paid for that already,i'm on to bigger things.

[westgrandboulevard]

Try your National Debt.....

[Jerry Oz]

We will pay that as soon as we can print enough yen.

[westgrandboulevard]

Will that ever be possible?

[Jerry Oz]

We borrowed more money to buy the extra printers last week.

[westgrandboulevard]

That will mean one printer for every single person....

[Jerry Oz]

Well, if by 'printers' you mean 'full sized four-colored offset production presses', then I'm inclined to agree with you.

[westgrandboulevard]

I recognise the type.

[Jerry Oz]

It was created by Little Lord Fontleroy, a veritable legend in the printing industry.

[westgrandboulevard]

Aided by his devoted personal secretary, Miss Print - who, like you, couldn't spell his name correctly

[arr&bee]

The national debt???hmmm i think i owe some folks.

[Jerry Oz]

Aided by his devoted personal secretary, Miss Print - who, like you, couldn't spell his name correctly

You missed my pun... I'm a little let down.

[Jerry Oz]

The national debt???hmmm i think i owe some folks.

Well, since you're gonna be broke anyway, you might as well add me to the list. I'll PM you the Western Union location to send the money.

[144man]

You missed my pun... I'm a little let down.

He must have got it. He's the font of all knowledge.

[westgrandboulevard]

LOL! I'm not that, but yes, of course, I did get it...and quickly moved past it, with a smile.

Little Lord Fontleroy is clever in written form as a font name, as was Jerry's post..it's just a tad contrived, as it doesn't rhyme with Little Lord Fauntleroy in British English. It may well do in America....

[144man]

My parents always pronounced it as Font-LE-roy, but most people now seem to say Font-EL-roy.

[westgrandboulevard]

I've always believed it to be pronounced as 'Foornt-le-roy' in British English [[probably as Foorntle-roy in American English)... although FHB was indeed in the US when she wrote it....but, coming from Manchester, I wonder how SHE would have pronounced it...

If she wrote it now, it would be "Hey! LEEroy!!"

[Jerry Oz]

Hmmm... I always thought it would be pronounced FAWNT-la-roy. But admittedly, I didn't pay attention to anything older than myself in literature class.

[arr&bee]

Oh it's that time again...to be or maybe not who can tell whether it be wiser to not be or not the wiser,only the mundane will decipher this quizzical malady of the who's who of what won't matter in ten days...thank you!!

[Jerry Oz]

That was beautiful... I was so moved that I called an old friend to apologize for something that broke us up more than 30 years ago.

He said that he was glad for the phone call because now that he has my location, he's coming over to kick my butt. And that's exactly why I hate literature.

[westgrandboulevard]

Hence the phrase "to throw the book at someone".....

[Jerry Oz]

Friday is a great night to catch a movie. If you catch a book, I hope it is the latest edition of 'The Physician's Guide to Treating Concussions and Open Head Wounds'.

[westgrandboulevard]

I will head straight out for it, look at the price, and catch my breath.

[Jerry Oz]

Well, that's something to think about. It's sort of for the brainy folks out there, though.

[westgrandboulevard]

If that's true, there will be many who feel they should definitely acquire a copy.

[Jerry Oz]

Almost as many as there are seeking to purchase this wonderful elixur...

[westgrandboulevard]

Most people need something to believe in - and some will believe in anything...

[144man]

Richard Dawkins is a notable exception.

[westgrandboulevard]

He certainly seems to be at odds with EO Wilson, although I'm somewhat unclear on their respective beliefs.

[Jerry Oz]

Dawkins let Wilson know that he lost respect for him when Wilson shortened his name from EIEIO Wilson. Wilson, not wanting people to know of his close association with Ol' McDonald had words with Dawkins and they never saw eye-to-eye again.
