Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for September 03, 2018

That would explain the always red nose…

And if you made him sneeze, while holding his nose?

Squeeze the weeze.

Good to know. Stay away from the nose.

Sorry, no matter what this lady does, it’s not going to unfurl MY tent peg.

You do know white people talk out of their noses? AKA HONKY

“…like one of those paper noise makers. Of course, he, like all the rest, could not stand much of my kazoo. So he left.”

I love it when women reminisce about having fun interacting with a guy, even if he’s a clown. (Which actually describes untold thousands of guys, red nose or not.) Her charm bubbles to the surface.

40 years and 60 pounds ago, she could make a room of the paper noise makers straighten like it was New Years.

I don’t care how many letters they sent

Morning came and morning went

Pick up your money

And pack up your tent

You ain’t goin’ nowhere

Whoo-ee, ride me high

How was the bake sale, Ma’am? Appears as though that you had returned home with an assortment of delicious treats..

Does it have a little flag at the end that says “BANG!”?

Aunt Frannie’s stories were not fit for children or for mixed company. We regularly cornered her and urged her to tell them at every family gathering, holiday, or other opportunity.

“Defining deviancy down,” the catchy alliteration coined by Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D., N.Y.) is the 1990s equivalent of “permissiveness” in political rhetoric about crime and criminal justice.

Defining deviancy up creates a whole new universe of behavior to police, and–a bonus–a higher class of offender. More malleable too: The guilt-ridden bourgeois or vulnerable college student is a far easier object of social control than the hardened criminal or the raving lunatic.Sep 13, 1993

Yeah, sure; you dated a clown once. I bet that was a long time ago, before the current fear and loathing of clowns. But leave his tentpole alone or subject yourself to possible arrest for simple assault….

The bow tie trick, leaves the girls screaming for more.

Ride the clown’s pony, honey?

I’ll bet she tastes funny.
