      Now Planedick....
      Ok, yes, a humorous read.
      And it was a good story the first time I heard it....35 years ago!
      Geez, that "story" has been around forever...
      Even Fredintoon heard that story as a child...
      (I think the bike then was an Excelsior-Henderson... and the cigarette only blew off the bathroom door... the one with the half-moon cut-out on it.)

        At least one

        is trying to recover from the laughter.... I do remember many more from that era, you know the time when knock, knock and moron jokes were the rage. Why did the moron drive his truck off the cliff............... Problem is, most hear them and they don't fit anymore and they're not old enough to remember the scene.... and Prom, you're just angry you didn't save the clipping. LOL

          "Who you callin' an Old Joke, Planedick?"

          Oh, but I did save the one where the couple at the rest area put their child, in his car seat, up on the roof and then drove off.
          I think the car in question was a model "A".
          I know what you mean about old jokes, Planedick...
          I tried telling my sons about "...these two hippies walk into a record store downtown..."
          #1 Son, "Hippies?"
          #2 Son, "Records?"
          I half expected one of them to say, "Walk?"

            Umm... I guess I shouldn't tell you guys about that weekend when my parents were away.... No, it wasn't a huge party or anything but I can say that there might be a few more grease stains on the living room carpet Not that I know this but an xs1100 is a tight fit through your regular front door.

              We ALL know that!! Because every one of us as teenagers tried to get a MOTORCYCLE instead of women into our house when the parents were away!

                  The XS may be a tight fit through the front door, that's why I once used the sliding patio doors but let me tell you I had a b@#$# of a time getting it turned around in the kitchen.

                      Yeah, but Andrew... just because people give ships female names... that doesn't really qualify for what I was talking about!
