I was in Louisville the other day for a funeral and ran ito a guy that I had grown up with back in the 1950s.  We started talking about our neighborhood and he told his wife that we guys lived by three basic priciples back then:

1. If you are up high, throw something off.

2. If it's alive, kill it.

3. See if it will burn.

I think ol' Dennis had it just about right.

Those remarks remind me of the "Be A Dentist" song that was sung by Steve Martin in the movie "Little Shop of Horror")

Old memories and friends are great.

They will always put a smile on your face, no matter the circumstances.

Glad it was not your funeral.

Glad it was not your funeral.

OUCH!

I ...cut.... he told his wife that we guys lived by three basic priciples back then:

1. If you are up high, throw something off.

2. If it's alive, kill it.

3. See if it will burn.

I think ol' Dennis had it just about right.

I've have been given a lot of words of wisdom in my short live, but these three are very puzzleing to me?

Glad it was not your funeral as said before and sorry for your loss too

Words of wisdom , I think not. Words of young boys is more like it. As you all know , boys aren't the smartest creatures GOD CREATED.

I didn't say they were words of wisdom.  They merely reflected how nine year-old boys behaved in the 1950s.
