I'm going to start a new series of posts entitled "Groucho Moments". I'm calling them that as Groucho could just spin off a brand new joke right off the top of his head at a moments notice. I do that a lot, and there was one such occasion today.
I and my wife were taking our morning "constitutional" ...
(discussing the bill of rights ... HAHA! Just thought of that!
Ehhh, after that one you might be wanting to declare a declaration of independence from even knowing me! Ba da Dump! Tsss!)
... a nice walk, and I have been having problems with my right wrist, and so I said ...
"I'm hoping that I'm not getting tendinitis ...
and I quickly quipped ...
"I wouldn't even want "ninedinitis"
My wife gave out a low groan, and I followed with ...
"Yeah, I know sweetie. I wouldn't touch that with a ten foot pole, but perhaps with a six foot swede!"
Ba da dump! Tsss!
Have a nice day, folks!

I do that too, maybe abit too much? (Everyone called me Chandler Bing throughout high school ^^)
I was talking to a friend there once, and we were discussing the US election (Obama/McCain) and while we were talking, some girl walked up to us, and asked what we were talking about.
"Were talking about Obama" we said, and she responded: "Oh, is that the place in Spain you visited."
A quick moments silence, and then I went "So her parents are siblings?"
Yeah, yeah, not the best, but the only one I could think of ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

I do that a lot too.
Unfortunately they are (almost) all of the type where you play with words and their double meaning, so they don't translate at all. And those that are translatable, is so "non pc" that I would look as a really hard lined mysogynist and racist, among other things, if I related them, and anybody that really knows me can wouch that I am not.
If this sounds offensive, you should now that I subscribe to the belief that you CAN, and SHOULD, joke about absolutely everything. The best comics are those who stand by that rule.
However, I have always had a speciall fondness for Groucho, he was, and is, my favourite Marx brother. And when I found out that we acctually share the same birthday, I felt somewhat connected to him (I was around 9-10 at the time). We also share this birthday with Otto von Bismark, Mahatma Gandhi and Sting, to name but a few.
