Overheard at Lem's

ndspinelli said: Sixty should whittle a cane for Trooper.

Then inspiration struck me, to wit, I could carve him a cane that would allow him to handle snakes all day every day:


When one sees a cane like that one can only think "Trooper".

Also, I now have au pear of bowls:


The one on the left has been microwaved off and on all day, the other one is fresh off the lathe.

I actually ventured out today.

I told the guys at the barber shop that my heart had stopped for about 22 seconds.

They asked me if I saw a white light or anything.

I said nah....but it got really hot all of a sudden. I said "Do you think that's a bad sign?"

The Dude said...

Good? We can debate that, predictable - well there you go.

One time after a procedure I came to and said "Run away from the light!" Seriously. A friend was in the recovery room and she still laughs about that.

Good job getting out. I can make a cane with a seat and wheels on it - you could sit down and ride it like a broomstick pony. That's so you.

Sixty, do you think that you could possibly put a chin strap on one of you bowls, so Troop could use it as a helmet?

The Dude said...

LOL - we have a winner! I could turn one shaped like the helmets that the Doughboys wore in WWII - perfect!

Trooper York said...

Nice. I need a helmet for when I have to get on the Short Bus. Thanks.

I'm always trying to help.
