Satan vists the church

Indianabob, Satan probably(for the sake of this joke) appeared with the horns and pitchfork dressed in red! Judy
judith collier:
Mark and Stephen I must tell you about last night(remember I escalate) In 40 years of living in this big old barn which is across from the river we have had 2 mice (thank you, I am a good housekeeper) The second one I saw was last night. Now, I have a MAN for a husband(I'm traditional)and so when I hollered,"Bob, hurry come here" my knight slowly sauntered in and said in a condescending voice,"what". I pointed to the hall closet and yelled "mouse". Now remember this MAN cannot see 2 ft. in front of him(I figure I am helping him by expecting him to use what capabilities he has left) so, he got down on the floor and was going through the closet when the mouse darted out and ran into another room. I enquired about mouse traps and where did he put them from the last time. Of course HE did not know and HE did not know when HE could see either, this MAN never knew where anything was!!!! Now here is the ingenuity of MAN, Somehow HE made a piece of duck tape with the sticky side up and stuck it to the floor and laid a piece of cheese on it,(I am still shaking my head) I guess the mouse is supposed to stick to the tape while it is eating the cheese!!! If you want to hear my reply, please just ask me. Judy

Judy I have to tell you this. My husband is absolutely fearless unless the creature has more than four legs. We were talking to our africaans neighbour one day who we had allowed to plant an eggplant crop on part of our plot. We were out in the land and our neighbour said he was having problems with the guinea fowls scratching up the seedlings.
The africaans word for guinea fowl is tarantale. Which sounds very much like tarantula. Dave, being british and not fully versed in africaans started nervously looking around for big spiders.
I of course, immediately clicked what his problem was and started laughing. It escalated into hysteria as he nervously bade our neighbour goodbye and hotfooted it back to the house. I have never seen a 125kg man move that fast. I got a smack on the butt for my entertainment. He was really angry with me, but boy, was it worth it.
stephen:
Hi Jassy, I'm from South Africa and Afrikaans is like my second language. Give your neighbour a message from me and tell him "alles is lekker" here in South Africa. You can pronounce it "Alice is lacker" with a heavy emphasis on the r.... and the A in Alice is pronounced like the U in up. In Afrikaans "lekker" is the word used for anything that's very very nice.
By the way, I hope you haven't corrupted the couple. In South Africa the woman know their place.
Stephen
Ninny:
Ok Steven, it is obvious to me that you are not married! You need to lighten up a little on us women. If you don't start seeing women in a more positive way you are going to end up a lonely, crusty, old man with no grandchildren to soften up your old age! ;D
