"No Michael" she exclaimed," I asked for some Lou Rawls! I'm serious!" I didn't know what to do, so I put on this next one. I mean, what could be better than Lou Rawls and Sam Cooke? Please enjoy and I will finish the story.......
She got a little peeved with me and I had no idea that the problem was our interpretation of the English language. She spoke the Queen's English and I spoke a combination of Texican and Spanglish. What she really wanted is this..LOO ROLLS. (please click to see what the heck I am talking about.)
I have laughed at that story many times and still do until this very day.

The weather is starting to clear up here in West Texas. We had a couple days of dreaded snow, but the weather girl said we would get into the 40's today. I am going to have to go to town to post this. I will try to find some ISP today.
I hope you enjoyed my post today. Here are a couple more for those of you who can't get enough toilet humor.........
The Texas Troubadour!!
That's about it for today. I hope you got a chuckle out of this!!

Michael, I needed something to dispel this low flying anxiety I was experiencing this morning, and here you are with a great chuckle that did just that. I spent a couple of weeks down in Port Isabel exactly two years ago while attempting to do something similar (dispel anxiety), and every day I drove the Queen Isabella Bridge to South Padre with Lou Rawls and "You'll Never Find.." It was a great way to lift my mood and get on with the day. Thanks for the reminder and the laughs.
ReplyDeleteT~This is an absolutely true story. Why don't you get out of there and come on back to Texas? BTW, I haven't read anything new from you and was sure wondering.
ReplyDeleteWell it all worked out OK. Or as she might have said. "Bob's Your Uncle" :-)
ReplyDeleteGlad you checked in BTW.
Thanks Ben~It sure did get cold up here. Thanks for the visit!
ReplyDeleteHa! Too funny! I'm going to use Lou Rawls in the bathroom forever more!
ReplyDeleteI was hesitant to read it because of the title but it was a great story and funny too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a Charmin' post. I remember Mr. Whipple! So I hope you didn't make your friend wait too long before you figured out what she really wanted. Great story.
ReplyDeleteYea, that was funny. I really have trouble with accents. My brain isn't too sharp when it comes to understanding people with an accent different than mine. Maybe I ought to talk to more people, right?
ReplyDeleteChuckling :)
ReplyDeleteVery funny post, Michael. Now regarding your most recent comment on my blog... since I can't e-mail this to you... "Don't worry, Michael, Oregon Ducks are darn hard to catch."

Loo rolls! Har!
ReplyDeleteDelightful!
ReplyDeleteSo very true, it's a common phrase at home in the UK. When we're on holiday in the USA I sometimes forget and ask for directions to the 'loo' cue blank looks and me hastily correcting myself :)
ReplyDeleteNo that's the Michael I remember from about 6 months ago. That was too funny. LOL
ReplyDelete>bow< Thank you all so very much. I got new internet today. What a difference it has made. Do you hate it when you stuff won't work? I know I do.
