Reality Check by Dave Whamond for May 08, 2022

Amen.

Yeah just ask Kermit how hard it is being green.

Hard to peas everyone

The Jolly Green Giant has had problems since Tennessee Ernie Ford died. He died on October 17, 1991 at the age of 72. He was the voice of the JGG.

My mother used to say “Eat every bean & pea on your plate” (HAPPY MOTHERS DAY Mom!…Rest In Peace)

Ralph’s hiding in the bookshelf…lol

It isn’t always so easy being a giant, either.

What did the Giant say when he lost his leaves?

“Ho! Ho! Oooh!”

Yet another shibboleth for people from around the world but America. I never heard from the JGG until now. I thought the Strip might refer to the Hulk.

Me too!

Life’s a tough road to hoe-ho-ho.

For those not familiar with old Jolly Green, here’s a compendium of his commercials. (I don’t recommend sticking around for all 22 minutes.)

And as a bonus, an early 1960s rocknroll track about him:

Happy Damned Mother’s Day anyway …!

Did you ever wonder what the Green Giant wears under his greenery.

“Ho, ho, oh to hell with it.”
