Q - How can you tell if a lawyer is lying?
A - His lips move!

Q - What do you call a bus full of lawyers going over a cliff?
A - A good start!

A lawyer was walking down the street when, unknown to him, he trod into a pile of doggie-doo. A few paces further on, he noticed it, and collapsed on the pavement screaming "I'M MELTING!"

The Naitch


Remember I was asking (asking? Pleading, more like!) for an M400 Mellotron? Well.....

No, nothing doing. There's a Mark V Mellotron on eBay at the moment, but...
A) it's in the US, so transport costs will be horrendous,
B) the bloke is looking for >$9000, coupled with...
C) a Pound that's dropping like a brick against the yankee Dollar.

So, basically, not a chance. I'll probably go for a software package (M-Tron, Pro-Tron or Sampletron)

One day you'll strike lucky, and one will turn up, previously long forgotten in someone's attic (or, loft, if you prefer) ... just down the road. I have recently picked up a load of "vintage" test equipment that came up like that following the recall of a good old boy to "that great workshop in the sky"!

The "secret" there, is (of course) not having too many people know about it ... and once stuff is posted on eBay, well ... the whole world is in the know! Then your only hopes are a) That's it's an auction of short duration, and b) That the thing has been incorrectly catalogued (as sometimes happens, when the seller doesn't know what the item actually is) ... but then, how would you come across it?

But, we live in hope, do we not? smile

PS: I notice that the M-Tron stuff attracts a fair amount of interest (bidders), too.

Three men were sitting together bragging about how they had
given their new wives duties.

Terry had married a woman from America, and bragged that he
had told his wife she needed to do all the dishes and housework.
He said that it took a couple days but on the third day he came
home to a clean house and the dishes were all washed and put away.

Jimmie had married a woman from Canada. He bragged that he had
given his wife orders that she was to do all the cleaning, dishes, and
the cooking. He told them that the first day he didn't see any results, but
The next day it was better. By the third day, his house was clean, the
dishes were done, and he had a huge dinner on the table.

The third man had married an Irish girl. He boasted that he told her
that her duties were to keep the house cleaned, dishes washed,
laundry and ironing twice a week, lawns mowed, windows cleaned
and hot meals on the table for every meal. He said the first day he
didn't see anything, the second day he didn't see anything, but by the
third day most of the swelling had gone down and he could see a little
out of his left eye, just enough to fix himself a bite to eat, load the
dishwasher, and call a handyman.

A cat goes to Heaven and is met by St Peter at the pearly gates. St Peter says to the cat. As you were such a gentle and caring cat whilst you were alive you can have whatever you like up here. The cat replies that it would like a satin cushion to sleep on. This said St Peter would be done and the cat was allowed to pass through the gates
Next some mice stood at the gate and were met by St Peter. St Peter said to the mice. As you were such good mice when you were alive and did not steal any food or damage any property you can have anything that you want in heaven. After they had spoken with each other they said to St Peter that they would like roller skates just like they had seen children wearing. This said St Peter would be done and the mice were allowed to pass through.
The next day St Peter went round to see the cat and asked how things were, the cat replied that it was very comfortable and how kind he had been in sending around the meals on wheels the previous evening.

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales.

The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small.

The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.

Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.

The little girl said, 'When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah'.

The teacher asked, 'What if Jonah went to hell?'

The little girl replied, 'Then you ask him'.

Subject: TURKEY RECIPE ~ Just in time!



Give this a try.

8 - 15 lb. turkey
1 cup melted butter
1 cup stuffing (Pepperidge Farm is Good.)
1 cup uncooked popcorn (ORVILLE REDENBACHER'S LOW FAT)
Salt/pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush turkey well with melted butter
salt, and pepper. Fill cavity with stuffing and popcorn. Place in
baking pan with the neck end toward the back of the oven.

Listen for the popping sounds.
When the turkey's butt blows the oven door open and the bird flies across the room, it's done.
