The piano player stops and the bar goes deadly silent. After a brief pause, all eyes drop, the pianist returns to playing and the piece of road saunters up to the bar and orders a beer. At that precise moment, in walks a piece of freeway which says: "I'm the hardest bit of bitumen in the whole country and I'll take you on!" The tension mounts, other drinkers scatter and take cover. The two braggarts stood, staring at each other, for what seemed like an eternity. Once again, the door opens and, into the middle of the stand-off, walks a strange-looking piece of coloured bitumen with a blue stripe. Suddenly, the stand-off is forgotten! The now-sheepish braggarts turn their backs to the door, sit down at the bar and stare quietly into their drinks. The bartender sidles up to them and asks what the problem is. "Shhhh!", says the freeway, "Watch what you say, that guy's a real cycle path."

A new supermarket opened. It has an automatic water mister to keep the produce fresh. Just before it goes on, you hear the sound of distant thunder and the smell of fresh rain. When you pass the milk cases, you hear cows mooing and you experience the scent of fresh mown hay. In the meat department there is the aroma of charcoal grilled steaks with onions. When you approach the egg case, you hear hens cluck and cackle, and the air is filled with the pleasing aroma of bacon and eggs frying. The bread department features the tantalizing smell of fresh baked bread and cookies. I don't buy toilet paper there any more. watcher13 on "Could You Use A Laugh?" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2541/page/24#post-61145 Thu, 30 Jul 2009 03:01:33 +0000 watcher13 61145@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ Many of you have seen it - it's one of those, "you should see it before you die" things. However, especially for our non-American friends, I'm going to post a link to the famous Tim Conway elephant story outtake from the Carol Burnett Show. This is the whole one, too, often only the second part is shown. A little background. The show was edited together from two rehearsals. Anything flubbed in both rehearsals made in on to the final tape. Two rehearsals also helped if the show was going way over time in the first one, stuff could be cut out of the second. And Conway was notorius for adding ad-libs and physical bits that the others weren't prepared for to try and get them to crack up. He was particularly good at doing it to Harvey Korman. This is during a "The Family" sketch with Carol, Vicki, and Dick Van Dyke playing something like Trivial Pursuit. Tim, playing dim-witted Micky, launches into a couple of preposterous stories after one of the questions is about elephants. Even Tim starts cracking about how he's tearing up the other three. But Vicki Lawrence turns the tables and gets the last word, which is why it's an outtake. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qqE_WmagjY&feature=PlayList&p=EEA6C5C03FB410B7&index=0" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qqE_WmagjY&feature=PlayList&p=EEA6C5C03FB410B7&index=0</a> Robert on "Could You Use A Laugh?" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2541/page/24#post-60218 Fri, 17 Jul 2009 15:22:49 +0000 Robert 60218@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ Good one, BK! :D watcher13 on "Could You Use A Laugh?" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2541/page/24#post-60216 Fri, 17 Jul 2009 14:58:54 +0000 watcher13 60216@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ LOL!

I dreamed a dream in time gone by When hope was high And life worth living I dreamed that love would never die I dreamed that God would be forgiving. Then I was young and unafraid And dreams were made and used And wasted There was no ransom to be paid No song unsung No wine untasted. But the tigers come at night With their voices soft as thunder As they tear your hope apart As they turn your dream to shame. And still I dream he'll come to me That we will live the years together But there are dreams that cannot be And there are storms We cannot weather... I hope that Susan Boyle's dream will come true. graylox HOSS on "Could You Use A Laugh?" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2541/page/24#post-51030 Sat, 14 Feb 2009 21:25:16 +0000 HOSS 51030@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ I found this great new site that can clean your monitor screen from the inside!
