I love to laugh, loud and long and clear!

Isn't it good to laugh? The Bible says, "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine" and "A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance"! (Proverbs 17:22a, Proverbs 15:13a)

Let's do something fun, let's play the who-done-it game! Only this will be the who-done-said-it game. I'll quote myself or one of my siblings and you guess the origin of the quote. Come on, it'll be fun! Try it! (Just as a heads up your comment will be counting for points toward an upcoming giveaway.) I knew you'd want to try!

Pick Jack, Goldilocks, SquiRe, Sam, Mari, or Risa; one per quote!

1. "Because de Bible says we hafta play town, we gonna play town! But really. Really yes!"

2. "All governments have assassins - especially the diplomatic ones."

3."This day is always gonna be in my heart. And in your heart. Because I put some of it in yours and some of it in mine!"

4. "Yeah, I'm cool! I'm so cool... I'm COLD!"

5. "Isn't it abominable when one uses a grandiloquent word where a diminuitive one would suffice?"

6. "Oh man, this takes forever to finish! I'm serious, last time it took me about . . . a week. Or a hundred days."

You can comment, put a number to a name, and then we'll post the answers after I think everyone's had a chance to guess!

We've been wanting to post this video on our blog for a while, but can't seem to figure out how to. Here is the direct link to a cute little video our friends made.

Pretty funny, huh?
 And if you think you've had enough laughs today, you're wrong! That's right, you haven't laughed enough today! =) Here is my last laugh for you, a little story told in the inflationary language, by Victor Borge, a great comedian and piano player!
Any of you remember the days, good old days, when the dollar was worth 49¢? Since then, many things have changed. Inflation is coming closer and closer, everything has gone up, except one thing -- the language. I have invented what I call the "inflationary language," because I want to be prepared the day we really have the great inflation. And I have to explain it this way, that we will add one to each number in every word that contains a number -- for instance, number one in "wonderful," will be "twoderful," because we add one to it. In a sentence like, "I ate a tenderloin with my fork," it would be "I nine an elevenderloin with my fivek." Very simple.
Now, I should like to read to you out of this book just a short chapter…
Twice upon a time, there was a young captain in the army named Bob, and his sister, Anna, who lived in sunny Califivenia. They belonged to a fine old family, and they were proud of the fact that some of their fivefathers had been among the crenineders of the American constithreetion. Bob had been very close to his younger sister, ever since she saw the light of day for the second time. Not so long ago, on a threesday evening, they were sitting at a table in a supper club, commemornining the day of her engagement. To Don Two (you see, her fiance was of spanish descent, his name was Don Juan. In this book, it'll be "don two," of course. ) Who, on unfivetunately, had turned out to be an asiten egotist. He hadn't even shown up. The table was beautifully decorated with her favorite flowers, long-stemmed red threelips.
               "Anna," said Bob, eleventatively, "you look twoderful threenight. But you have three of saddest eyes. " Anna really looked twoderful, in spite of the illness from which she had not yet recupernineded. It was midnight -- a clock in the distance struck thirteen. There suddenly in the doorway stood Don Two, obviously intoxicnineded. Bob jumped to his feet -- but Anna, trying to avoid a scandal, said, "Anytwo for elevennis?" Don grabbed a piece of the marininded herring in front of them, and was about to throw it at Bob.
             "Be careful, Don," warned Bob, "Today I became third lieu-elevenant in the army air fiveces.”
             "Are you two? I'm two three," said Don Two. With these words he left, and when he was one-and-a-half way through the door, stopped and turned excitedly.
             "Anna," Don Two said, "I shall never marry. All my life I will remain double!"

I guess I'm in such a mood for humor because my wonderful sisters bought me Micheal Jr.'s DVD, Laughing On Purpose, for me! He is hilarious!!

"Blessed be the Lord, Who daily loads us with benefits, The God of our salvation!" ~Psalm 68:19

Have a wonderful day,

Oh HAHA!! Love Victor Borge! His inflationary language is hilarious! We speak it every now and then... ;D

As to your game, we went in together in guessing the answers... Here's what we came up with:

1. Jack
2. Risa
3. Goldilocks
4. Sam
5. Mari
6. SquiRe

Since there were seven people and seven statements, we figured there would be two five each comment... *bursts out laughing* So, there you go! We thought it best three just throw some guesses out there...

Love,
