Jerry,

That ship is actually a Mexican Navy vessel.

Here's one of the Seals (Navy seals):



I don't think he plays the piano...

Wow Jerry! You just made the 1000th reply to this thread!! Congratulations. There ought to be a prize or something!

You bet! All the beer you can drink.

Oops!! I had it wrong, Jerry it looks like you were 999. Flipped over that is 666! So instead of an award we are going to have to burn you at the stake!!

Scooters: It looks like you get the trophy!

You mean sort of like this Ryan?



Scooters, cute. It makes me smile.

I was thinking more like this!

I just noticed today that somehow that #10,000 slipped by. I have got to get a life!

Congrats BDB! I don't know why but, my head seems might hot today!!!! Any idea why Ryan???? It feels sort of burnt for some reason?

Howdy,



Wow! I had no idea! It's indeed an honor to accept this trophy!

So.. where we meeting for the brewsky?

Wow! Congrats.

Wow! 10,000 posts is quite a milestone! Here's some FIREWORKS to celebrate the 10,000 post mark!

Where did you post your 10,000 but the way? These are just for you BDB! You deserve this!!

I'm sure July 4th also saw some of these!

Or maybe to celebrate your 10,000 post BDB, I should give you this champagne fireworks! But, this might just catch my piano on fire!

Oppps! Must have gotten the champagne a "bit too close" to my piano! Will have to call the fire department AGAIN! Or was this your dragon's work JERRY!?

Anyone ready for "BARBEQUE SEASON"! Or how's this for "FIREWORKS"!

Hey Jerry!

I don't think the piano owner liked the way you tuned his piano!

Think Jerry went on A WELL DESERVED VACATION!. . . so he'll never see this! For a while anyway!

Gives a whole new meaning to Great Balls of Fire.

Well it was smokin' hot here for a few days, and lately, all we are getting is a lot of rain SHOWERS! Could be worst! Could be raining pianos!

Rain is just melted SNOW!

So, decided to put up a SHOWER CURTAIN! Cute eh!

Then this is what you need in that room:



Just a roll or two...Maybe some black and white soap too.

Funny Scooter!

Taking this outside!

So WEATHER or not you golf! Here's an idea!
Interesting idea?

I have a strange feeling my chip shot won't work as well as it used to...

Well, yes indeed, I am back from a much needed vacation. Took a whole week up to our cottages. Boated, didn't swim much, to danged cold for that but, we did have a lot of fun and laughed our fool heads off to our hearts content at the nightly bonfires.

Here's a few piano jokes for you.
-------------------

Miracle Cure

Doctor Sims has come to see one of her patients in St Mary's Hospital, Copnor, Portsmouth. Louise, the patient has had major surgery to both of her hands.

'Doctor,' says Louise excitedly and dramatically holds up her heavily bandaged hands. 'Will I be able to play the piano when these bandages come off?'

'I don't see why not,' answers Doctor Sims.

'That's strange,' says Louise. 'I wasn't able to play it before.'

Pianist in Tune?

A pianist and singer are rehearsing 'Autumn Leaves' for a concert and the pianist says, 'OK. We will start in G minor and then on the third bar, modulate to B major and go into 5/4. When you get to the bridge, modulate back down to F# minor and alternate a 4/4 bar with a 7/4 bar. On the last A section go into double time and slowly modulate back to G minor.'

The singer answers, 'Crikey, I don't think I can remember all of that.'
The pianist replies, 'Well, that's what you did last time.'
