    Excellent, I can relate to many of those.

    Mr Fork and Mrs Outlet bring back uncomfortable memories and no doubt played apart in my deep seated fear of electricity.

    My daughter (now 35) could add the title "Moms old car keys will not start the electical outlet..."

    Fun Times!
    I was once asked if I was "a paranoid for carrying my Kahr".
    "Nope" I said, "just prepared".
    " prepared for what" he asked?
    "more stuff than you are"
    God Bless our Troups!

    A Quick Swim....

    A minister, a priest and a rabbi went for a hike one day. It was very hot. They were sweating and exhausted when they came upon a small lake.

    Since it was fairly secluded, they took off all their clothes and jumped into the water. Feeling refreshed, the trio decided to pick a few berries while enjoying their “freedom.”

    As they were crossing an open area, who should come along but a group of ladies from town. Unable to get to their clothes in time, the minister and the priest covered their privates and the rabbi covered his face while they ran for cover.

    After the ladies had left and the men got their clothes back on, the minister and the priest asked the rabbi why he covered his face rather than his privates.

    The rabbi replied, “I don’t know about you, but in my congregation, it’s my face they would recognize.”
