The habitually disappointed support group
Had
good reason to bellyache
As
their meeting had been cancelled
And
as a result, there would be no cake

THE HABITUALLY DISAPPOINTED SUPPORT GROUP
OLD AGE IS LIKE BEING IN A PLANE
Old age is like being in a plane
Flying
through a typhoon
Because
once you’re on board
There
is nothing you can do

ALL-TIME CLASSIC MOVIE FAVOURITES – WHERE EAGLES DARE (1968)
Where Eagles Dare is a WW2 drama film, screenplay written by Alistair MacLean based on his book of the same name and, directed by Brian G. Hutton.
After
a British Mosquito aircraft is shot down over Nazi held territory, the Germans
capture American Brigadier General George Carnaby (Robert Beatty), and take him
to the nearby S.S. headquarters at the Schloss Adler, the Castle of Eagles,
because the Germans believe the General is privy to details of the D-Day
operation.
So
Admiral Rolland (Michael Hordern) and Colonel Turner (Patrick Wymark) of
British Intelligence assemble a crack commando team led by Major Jonathan Smith
(Richard Burton) to rescue him before he can divulge any details of the plans
for the Normandy landings.
Amongst
the team of Brits is an American Ranger, Lieutenant Morris Schaffer (Clint
Eastwood), who is puzzled by his inclusion in an all British operation, and
when two of the team are killed soon after arriving in Germany, Schaffer
suspects that Smith's mission has more than one objective.
THE WISDOM OF MY MIDDLE YEARS # 6
I have discovered
In
this life of ours
That
singing “Amazing Grace”
Can
lift my spirits for hours
A GREAT MIND IS NOT EASILY DEFINED
A great mind is not easily defined
But
its measurement is oft unspoken
For
a great mind is like a parachute
It
always works better when it’s open
I TRIED DONATING BLOOD TODAY # 3
I tried donating blood today
But
the problem on this visit
Were
too many stupid questions
For
example, why is it in a bucket?
A TROPHY SISTER-IN-LAW
My brother decided
To
take himself
A
trophy wife
And
I admit I was taken a back
As
her ears stuck out
And
the names
Of
prior winner’s
Were
tattooed down her back
