Subject: BS: Think he believed me & will call back? From: katlaughing Date: 15 Jun 12 - 10:59 PM Feeling a bit better, mind-wise, this evening so figured I'd spend a bit of it with you all. So, I am wondering if this guy believed me on the phone tonight. He called to see If I'd like to have some supplies sent out for the bi-pap machine. Then he wanted to play twenty questions. I'm standing there buck-naked just from a shower 9in a rush to get the phone) and Rog is in the backyard half-naked (no shirt:-) with the dogs who are going ape over the neighbour's goat which is in our driveway (over the fence she went!)pruning Rog's grape vine! I told the guy on the phone "Can you call me back, there's a goat in my yard and I'm naked!?" That was a spontaneous blurt. Think he believed it. Got your own fun story to tell? BTW, the goat, Star, was rounded up and taken home. Hope she stays on their side of the fence. That grape vine is almost ten years old, has a neat gnarly trunk and huge leaves. |

Subject: RE: BS: Think he believed me & will call back? From: JohnInKansas Date: 16 Jun 12 - 02:12 AM He'll probably call you back 'cause he thought you were trying to be suggestive. But it may really hurt when the first thing he says is "how's the goat." John |

Subject: RE: BS: Think he believed me & will call back? From: Newport Boy Date: 16 Jun 12 - 06:23 AM You've frightened him off, Kat. Anne was showering one morning when a friend phoned to say she would deliver a card in 5 minutes on her way to the garden centre. By the time the doorbell rang, Anne was in a short silk kimono, towelling her hair. She shouted "Come in", but Jane didn't react. So she walked across the hall and opened the door. The fresh fish man calls every couple of months, and he looked a bit surprised. He looked somewhat more startled when Anne said "Oh, I was expecting someone else!". That was 18 months ago, and the fish man hasn't been back. Phil |

Subject: RE: BS: Think he believed me & will call back? From: Don(Wyziwyg)T Date: 16 Jun 12 - 10:44 AM About fifty years ago the father of an ex girlfriend, confined to the house while recovering from a bout of pneumonia, was in the process of making himself a sandwich. A knock on the front door, and he answers, in dressing gown and slippers, hair uncombed, and carrying the bread knife. The couple on the doorstep flinched, and the man said "We're from the local Children of Mary, would you like to come to our meeting on Monday evening?". With a wave of the knife, the old man said "I'm sorry, but I'm not allowed out yet." He said the pair got wedged in the opening of the garden gate, and had to fight their way out. He never saw or heard from them again. Don |

Subject: RE: BS: Think he believed me & will call back? From: Bill D Date: 16 Jun 12 - 11:18 AM A woman I knew back in Kansas once lived in a rented house on very limited income. Her decór was made up of borrowed or found items....including a couple of church pews from an old church that was torn down. (I had one of those pews myself for awhile.) Anyway, she added to the 'theme' by some odd stained glass items and a mantle made to look like a little chapel....not very 'authentic', but carried the idea. So... one day the Jehovahs Witnesses knocked on the door. She opened it part way and spent a couple minutes fending off the standard questions, hoping they'd give up, but they persisted.... suggesting that she NEEDED their message. Finally, one of them asked: "But ...don't you go to church?" At this she sighed, threw the door open wide, gestured at the room and replied, "My dears, they come to ME!". She said she supposed they were afraid they had encountered some weird cult, because they did leave quickly. Follow up: a couple years later, after she found a better house, that same little house was rented by a couple I knew who 'took up' practicing a sort of Wiccan lifestyle, including tattoos and nudism! When people they did not know knocked, they were told "you can come in...but you'll have to take off your clothes." I never heard whether the JH's ever came by, but I'd have loved to see it! |

Subject: RE: BS: Think he believed me & will call back? From: Bill D Date: 16 Jun 12 - 11:42 AM ...and.. the power of Google! I found this article mentioning the name Joe Wilson and the year 1965, which is exactly when I knew him. then... this page with a picture of a man of the proper age, with shaved head (just as Joe W. I knew) and obviously nude above the waist. I'd bet it's him. Sorry for the thread drift, but you know how our Mudcat minds work. |

Subject: RE: BS: Think he believed me & will call back? From: SINSULL Date: 16 Jun 12 - 11:48 AM That's hysterical, Kat. In my youth, I was dating a young man no one in the family liked. One evening he came to take me out when Uncle Ted was visiting. Uncle Ted is the one who loudly announced at the Social Security office that he was born into the world buck naked and hungry and NO he didn't have his birth certificate. So the young man walks in and is met by Uncle Ted who has lost his shoe. Ted shakes hands with the guy and says "You have a handshake like a wet fish. Did you steal my shoe?" And they wonder why I am single. |

From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 16 Jun 12 - 12:26 PM years ago I heard a story of a very harassed woman who answered the phone saying "please hold the line, teh kids let out the white mouse & we've got to catch it" When she returned some time later she found the caller was a stranger who had immediately realised he had the wrong number but had stayed to find out if they caught the mouse. sandra |

Subject: RE: BS: Think he believed me & will call back? From: Rapparee Date: 16 Jun 12 - 02:32 PM During my first shot at grad school I was sharing an apartment with two other guys, one of whom was an Oxford-educated Nigerian. He was also a good Lutheran. One evening, as he and his friends were getting ready to visit a Lutheran church (dressed as they would at home in Nigeria) there was a knock. My apartment mate answered it -- it was a couple of Jesus Freaks (a term from 1971) who were obviously nonplussed to be answered by a tall black man in Nigerian dress who spoke Oxonian. After listening politely to their spiel for five or so minutes, he knew they were going to be late AND he was getting tired of being converted. So he very nicely interrupted them with the statement, "This is all very interesting. Would you care to join us? We're about to sacrifice a goat." They left scorch marks in the hall as they ran out of there. |

Subject: RE: BS: Think he believed me & will call back? From: ranger1 Date: 16 Jun 12 - 06:42 PM My neighbor Kathy ended up in possession of her daughter's goldfish when the daughter went off to college. The goldfish was very large, was into interior decorating (he changed his tank decor frequently), and had been named Hector. One evening I was checking my e-mail at Kathy's house and discovered that Hector's aquarium pump had conked out and poor Hector was in distress. I called the neighbor to let her know what was going on, forgetting that she was in the middle of giving a seminar. She told me to go ahead and buy a new pump and she's reimburse me later. After rescuing the fish (including putting him in a bowl of clean water and gently moving him back and forth in what amounts to giving fish CPR) and installing the new pump, she called back to check on the fish and because the attendees at the seminar wanted to know how Hector was doing. Hector lived another several years after that, making to almost ten years of age. |

Subject: RE: BS: Think he believed me & will call back? From: Bobert Date: 16 Jun 12 - 07:10 PM Couldn't pass this one up... I use to work with a guy who would always be boastin' on North Carolina and cars, sports, clothes and just about anything that you cab boast on... If you said that you liked a certain car, or ___________ he'd come back and say... ... "I wouldn't drive that car to a goat-fucking"... Sho nuff did... Sorry... Now back to our regularly scheduled program... B;~) |

Subject: RE: BS: Think he believed me & will call back? From: Rapparee Date: 16 Jun 12 - 08:36 PM I don't think I'd attend one of those, Bobert. Maybe the guy just had odd tastes. Now llamas...well, I probably wouldn't got one of those either. People should have their privacy. |

Subject: RE: BS: Think he believed me & will call back? From: Don(Wyziwyg)T Date: 16 Jun 12 - 08:51 PM Best one I've heard for a while. There's a knock on the front door and when he opens it the tenant finds a keen young J.W. on the doorstep. "Come in and take a seat" he says, "I'll make some tea". Comes back after five minutes with tea and biscuits and says "Now what did you want to discuss?" The young man thinks for a minute, then "Buggered if I know, I've never got this far before". Don T. |
