LOL! Ironically enough, I'd bet Granny was a pretty good doctor, though. They do say that laughter is the best medicine, and all she'd have to do is open her mouth and start defining "medical jargon.":-)
haha! elvis and pelvis.
man, that was some list...!
an interesting piece of trivia
that i just remembered
when i saw Jed Clampett's face
is that Buddy Ebsen
was originally the first
guy cast as the Tin Woodsman
in the Wizard of Oz but
i think he had some allergy
to that poisonous silver paint
they used (that probably had
some freakin' lead in it
for Pete's sake!)
and so they had to cast
the other dude
whose name i now
totally forget cuz
i get like that...
Weee doogies!
You would not be talkin' about Granny rheumatoid medicine would you? Doctors have to do what they can to stay healthy so they can see their patients.
Well excuse me while I go take a quick dip in the cement pond.
Very funny by the way.
Oh, great vocabulary for me to pick up on! :-)
you're a hoot!
"Hooked on Phonetics" gone horribly wrong!
You and I are genitals?
Does that make us impotent?
i wonder if swimmin' in the cement pond would be good for what ails ya.
and LOL @mona!
Can I borrow those???? They're great sayings.
OMG That was hilarious!
SO was your comment at my blog today! :P
And, you met RUPERT? WOW that is so cool. How lucky was he to have met you?
;)
We loves ta get a swim in th ceement pawnd beforin we has out vittles what granny has cooked up fer us.
OH, I love the Beverly Hillbillies.
Remember the cement pond, wouldn't laying beside that right now feel good?
Granny was a treasure, and I agree with Serena, laughter is the best medicine. Granny was a great healer.
Have a nice day G-man.
xo
I used to love watching the Clampets!
The medical terms were too funny G!
Funny...I'll have to use these in a quiz for my massage students for A&P. :)
Did those guys come in color? I thought they were only black and white :)
You gotta love a doctor with a still!
Hilarious. That Granny was one tough old broad. Your blog is cool.
