The Little Princess



Well, it's not me the one who calls her "Princess" (I'm not a monarchist, that's why!), but her father - my younger brother. Here we were at Starbucks, she was waiting for her vanilla milkshake, and she didn't want me to picture her (usually she likes to be a photo model, but that day I guess she was really tired, she had I don't know what kinda dance contest, then the long walk in Kemah, and so on). Unlucky her, I had enough patience to wait til she turned her head toward me!

Today's joke (from a Canadian friend):

A father walks into a restaurant with his young son. He gives the young boy 3 nickels to play with to keep him occupied. Suddenly, the boy starts choking, going blue in the face. The father realizes the boy has swallowed the nickels and starts Slapping him on the back. The boy coughs up 2 of the nickels, but keeps choking. Looking at his son, the father is panicking, shouting for help. A well dressed, attractive, and serious looking woman, in a blue business suit is sitting at a coffee bar, reading a newspaper and sipping a cup of coffee. At the sound of the commotion, she looks up, puts her coffee cup down, neatly folds the newspaper and places it on the counter, gets up from her seat and makes her way, unhurried, across the restaurant. Reaching the boy, the woman carefully drops his pants; takes hold of the boy's testicles and starts to squeeze and twist, gently at first and then ever so firmly.. After a few seconds the boy convulses violently and coughs up the last nickel, which the woman deftly catches in her free hand. Releasing the boy's testicles, the woman hands the nickel to the father and walks back to her seat at the coffee bar without saying a word. As soon as he is sure that his son has suffered no ill effects, the father rushes over to the woman and starts thanking her saying:
"I've never seen anybody do anything like that before, it was fantastic. Are you a doctor?"
"No", the woman replied. "I'm with Revenue Canada..."

  8. I'll be in Kemah in another couple of weeks. :-) Time to check out what is left of my home after Ike... I know it will be changed once again with the wind and tide. She's a lovely girl and I can see she is tired and "not in the mood." We call my oldest grand daughter the Indian Princess (she's paiute) and even now, nearly 17 years old, she loves being my princess.
