This Summer is one that has brought an overbearing heat wave to the Emerald City
It is so hot you could fry an egg on the Tin Man’s head!
The water well is barely hanging on so therefore the garden had been left to die….
….all this oppression has made it difficult to run about in the Enchanted Forest and gather fodder for this blog!
I did run across these wonderful tidbits of advice and some marvelous quotes; I thought you might enjoy…
Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
There is a very fine line between “hobby” and “mental illness”
People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.
You should never confuse your career with your life
Nobody cares if you can’t dance well…..just get up and dance!
Never lick a steak knife
You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason
why we observe daylight savings time
You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she is pregnant
unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment
There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday.
That time is age eleven
The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside,
we ALL believe that we are above average drivers
A person, who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person
Never be afraid to try something new…….remember that a lone amateur built the Ark.
A large group of professionals built the Titanic
“I ask people why they have deer heads on their walls. They always say because it’s such a beautiful animal.
There you go. I think my mother is attractive, but I have photographs of her.”
Ellen DeGeneres
“A lady came up to me on the street and pointed at my suede jacket:
“You know a cow was murdered for that jacket?!?!!”, she sneered.
I replied in a psychotic tone,
“I didn’t realize there were any witnesses, now I’ll have to kill you too!”
Jake Johansen
“If your parents never had children, chances are you won’t either.”
Dick Cavett
“Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not commit adultery. Don’t eat pork.
I’m sorry, what was that last one?? Don’t eat pork. God has spoken
Is that the word of God or is that pigs trying to outsmart everybody?”
Jon Stewart
Tales and Travels of the Tinman 
You made my day 🙂
So glad you enjoyed!
I never minded the old daylight saving time, but the new one messes with my head.
Good stuff my friend.
Glad you enjoyed……….can’t wait till it cools off and the rains come!
This is so refreshing, as you intended , I’m sure. Loved the DeGeneres one. Deeee- lightful. MER
I miss you and I miss the rain…………
Thanks for a little refreshing breeze via your post today! The heat is getting to us all. We need a benign tropical storm.
Yes, I have been doing the ancient hookie-pookie dance each night at midnight to gather the rain clouds!
This all makes perfect sense. Especially the professionals who designed the Titanic. But wait. Something must be wrong. We don’t read (in various newspapers) any thing that makes sense to anyone but those below the age of 11. OK – There’s the Manchester Guardian. Oh, and The New York Times Saturday edition, mebbe one should add the Christian Science Monitor. It’s 6 pm in Lotus Land Tin Man time for a very cold flute of Veuve Cliquot to celebrate the end of another wondrous day. Virginia
Oh my High Princess of the Inner Relm of the Land of Lotus Blossoms…..how I wish to join you for a flute of Veuve Cliqout! I salute you, whether in person or far from the shores of the Land of Lotus Blossoms.
This one is to funny!!! Love it…….yes we need rain! Lets pray for rain all of us together!!!
Ana

Like the song says, Come rain or come shine!
(But I hope you get some rain soon.)

Thank you for stopping by and making a comment on my blackberry cake. You are welcome to come back anytime.
