I hope you were braver than that. What a hoot! <BR/><BR/>I loved it when Felix Unger left Oscar a note on his pillow and Oscar bemoaned the fact that it took him a while to figure out that F.

Oscar Madison was the slob componet of "The Odd Couple." When I saw Madras I remembered the Madras shirts of the late 60s and that led me to India and the RUPEE answer.

A man was on an island and a beautiful girl came swimming up on the shore. She asked if the man would like anything and he said he could really use a cigarette. She unzipped a pocket and pulled out a pack of Marlboros and a lighter and he lit up. "Anything Else" she asked. "How about a nice cold beer". She unzipped another pocket and pulled out a cold Bud for him. Then she began unzipping the front of her suit and asked, "Would you like to play around?" He replied, "Geez, you mean you've got golf clubs in there too?"Boomerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08274119227434714222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-85870611363978823622008-06-03T09:30:00.000-05:002008-06-03T09:30:00.000-05:0048A Tried different forms for "grandmother" before...48A Tried different forms for "grandmother" before remembering why the Russians call old women "babushka" and penned in "scarf".
