Good God-Julie Andrews is 69. Our Age +/— She is dealing
with it well!
To commemorate her 69th birthday on October 1, actress/
vocalist, Julie Andrews made a special appearance at Manhattan's
Radio City Music Hall for the benefit of the AARP.
One of the musical numbers she performed was "My
Favorite Things" from the legendary movie, "Sound Of Music".
Here are the lyrics she used:
Maalox and nose drops and needles for knitting,
Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings,
Bundles of magazines tied up in string,
These are a few of my favorite things.
Cadillacs and cataracts, and hearing aids and glasses,
Polident and Fixodent and false teeth in glasses,
Pacemakers, golf carts and porches with swings,
These are a few of my favorite things.
When the pipes leak, When the bones creak,
When the knees go bad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don't feel so sad.
Hot tea and crumpets and corn pads for bunions,
No spicy hot food or food cooked with onions,
Bathrobes and heating pads and hot meals they bring,
These are a few of my favorite things.
Back pains, confused brains, and no need for sinnin',
Thin bones and fractures and hair that is thinnin',
And we won't mention our short shrunken frames,
When we remember our favorite things.
When the joints ache, When the hips break,
When the eyes grow dim,
Then I remember the great life I've had,
And then I don't feel so bad.
(Ms. Andrews received a standing ovation from the crowd
that lasted over four minutes & repeated encores!)

Thanks to my sister for these:
Irish humour
Paddy was driving down the street in a sweat because
he had an important meeting and couldn't find a parking
place.
Looking up to heaven he said, "Lord take pity on me.
If you find me a parking place I will go to Mass every
Sunday for the rest of me life and give up me Irish
Whiskey."
Miraculously, a parking place appeared.
Paddy looked up again and said, "Never mind, I found one.
-----------------------------------------------------
Father Murphy walks into a pub in Donegal, and says to
the first man he meets, "Do you want to go to heaven?"
The man said, "I do Father."
The priest said, "Then stand over there against the wall."
Then the priest asked the second man, "Do you want to go to
heaven?"
"Certainly, Father," was the man's reply.
"Then stand over there against the wall," said the priest. Then
Father Murphy walked up to O'Toole and said, "Do you want
to go to heaven?"
'Toole said, "No, I don't Father.
The priest said, "I don't believe this. You mean to tell
me that when you die you don't want to go to heaven?"
O'Toole said, "Oh, when I die, yes. I thought you were
getting a group together to go on a trip right now."
-----------------------------------------------------
Paddy was in New York He was patiently waiting, and
watching the traffic cop on a busy street crossing.
The cop stopped the flow of traffic and shouted, "Okay
pedestrians." Then he'd allow the traffic to pass.
He'd done this several times, and Paddy still stood on
the sidewalk.
After the cop had shouted "Pedestrians" for the tenth time,
Paddy went over to him and said, "Is it not about time ye let
the Catholics across?"
---------------------------------------------------------
Gallagher opened the morning newspaper and was dumbfounded
to read in the obituary column that he had died. He quickly
phoned his best friend Finney.
"Did you see the paper?" asked Gallagher. "They say I died!!"
"Yes, I saw it!" replied Finney. "Where are ye callin' from?"
-----------------------------------------------------------
An Irish priest is driving down to New York and gets stopped
for speeding in Connecticut. The state trooper smells alcohol
on the priest's breath and then sees an empty wine bottle on
the floor of the car.
He says, "Sir, have you been drinking?"
"Just water," says the priest.
The trooper says, "Then why do I smell wine?"
The priest looks at the bottle and says, "Good Lord! He's
done it again!"
---------------------------------------------------
Walking into the bar, Mike said to Charlie the bartender, "
Pour me a stiff one - just had another fight with the little
woman."
Oh yeah?" said Charlie "And how did this one end?"
"When it was over," Mike replied, "she came to me on her
hands and knees."
"Really," said Charles, "now that's a switch! What did she say?"
She said, "Come out from under the bed, you little chicken-shit!"
-------------------------------------------------
Father O'Malley rose from his bed. It was a fine spring
day in his new parish. He walked to the window of his
bedroom to get a deep breath of the beautiful day outside.
He then noticed there was a jackass lying dead in the
middle of his front lawn. He promptly called the local
police station. The exchange went like this ...
"Good morning, this is Sergeant Muldoon. How might I
help you?"
"And the best of the day te yerself. This is Father
O'Malley at St. Brigid's. There's a jackass lying dead
in me front lawn. Would ye be so kind as to send a
couple o' yer lads to take care of the matter?"
Sergeant Muldoon, considering himself to be quite a
wit, replied with a smirk, "Well now father, it was always
my impression that you people took care of last rites!"
There was dead silence on the line for a moment.
Father O'Malley then replied, "Aye, tis certainly true,
but we are also obliged to notify the next of kin."
--------------------------------------------------------
A Texan walks into a pub in Ireland and clears his
voice to the crowd of drinkers. He says, "I hear you
Irish are a bunch of hard drinkers. I'll give $500
American dollars to anybody in here who can drink 10
pints of Guinness back-to-back."
The room is quiet and no one takes up the Texan's
offer. One man even leaves. Thirty minutes later
the same gentleman who left shows back up and taps
the Texan on the shoulder. "Is your bet still good?",
asks the Irishman.
The Texan says yes and asks the bartender to line up
10 pints of Guinness. Immediately the Irishman tears
into all 10 of the pint glasses drinking them all
back-to-back. The other pub patrons cheer as the
Texan sits in amazement.
The Texan gives the Irishman the $500 and says, "If
ya don't mind me askin', where did you go for that 30
minutes you were gone?"
The Irishman replies, "Oh...I had to go to the pub
down the street to see if I could do it first".
This one is for everyone who...
a) Has kids
b) Had kids
c) Was a kid
d) Knows a kid
e) Is going to have kids.
I was packing for my business trip and my three year
old daughter was having a wonderful time playing on
the bed. At one point she said, "Daddy, look at this,"
and stuck out two of her fingers.
Trying to keep her entertained, I reached out and stuck
her tiny fingers in my mouth and said, "Daddy's gonna
eat your fingers," pretending to eat them. I went back
to packing, looked up again and my daughter was standing
on the bed staring at her fingers with a devastated look
on her face.
I said, "What's wrong, honey?"
She replied, "What happened to my booger?"
