That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for March 27, 2023

“A Prince will marry you, but he and you will then get kicked out of the royal family.”

/// “What I read from the leaves in this teacup

is: beware of a man who will sneak up.

He will come from behind,

for he’s eager to find

his dream bride (who’s a natural D-cup).”

“All I can tell you is that you have just drank out of a dirty cup.”

See that stain? Cyanide always leaves bluish tint.

Madame Marie always asked for the fee upfront whenever she told people’s fortunes, because the only future she could foretell was that life never turned out quite how you expected, but gold was always accepted wherever you went.

so, what does it mean under side affects when it says, “necrotizing fasciitis of the perineum”?

The young women of the Swedish village turned to Great Aunt Maja regarding their Romantic Problems. As a respected (and sometimes feared) “white witch,” depending on the circumstances she prescribed a love potion that was a hot infusion of finely-milled sphagnum moss and comfrey. A secret incantation of prayers to St. Bridget activated its magical properties.

Served with wild honey and lingonberries, it was said to to open the heart of even the most stubborn man, clothing his being with desperate unconditional love. It was considered a positive transformational experience, not a hex or curse. Many a happy marital union resulted.

It seldom failed, but if it did Maja resorted to the traditional Swedish method of writing the man’s name on a slip of paper and burying it deep in snow on a rocky mountain slope. Thus his heart was frozen evermore in that vicinity. Any semblance of love he would ever experience, inferior in most respects, required his move far away.

“It’s the new iphone .0 and It’s telling me I should upgrade to iphone .1”

No, no, mom, that isn’t how it works; Snapchat is on your phone; that’s just a tiny framed picture you took last week.

Marta and Mari were sorely disappointed when the Antiques Road Show appraiser told them that their tea set was only worth about twenty bucks.

“And with this new spray product, you’ll feel fresh as a daisy.”

“…and from what I’ve heard about your husband-to-be, dearie, you’re going to want one of these. It has three vibrate settings….”

I can charge this much because this is 3 years in a row with all of my brackets correct.

“You push #1 to repeat, and #7 to delete.”

Hope you didn’t have Alabama going all the way…

I’ll give you both this piece of advice…money can not buy happiness but it comes really close…

I like the depiction of the fabrics, especially the taffeta on one lady.

Honey, I’ll be up front with you. If you can fit in this cup … the men won’t be interested at all.
