assumptions, which as we all know, is fraught with danger.

The first problem is

chuckv97 - Posted - 08/30/2016:  08:21:31

my inability to assume the correct assumptions.

It's like trying to predict air currents

in the middle of a hurricane.

You know it's blowing, but there's no way to tell

unless you hold your wet finger up.

I saw Tonto do

OM45GE - Posted - 08/31/2016:  03:30:44

a very sneaky thing to the Lone Ranger on an out take from one of their movies. 

First he took the Lone Ranger's saddle, 

sandyhookflash - Posted - 08/31/2016:  10:15:17

then he admitted that "Kimosabee" actually means a horse's rear end! Needless to say, the Lone Ranger

OM45GE - Posted - 08/31/2016:  16:10:34

was embarrassed to find he had been made a fool of for so many years. 

He decided he needed to

chuckv97 - Posted - 08/31/2016:  19:36:00

visit Tonto's village medicine man for some guidance and happy potions.

Unfortunately the medicine man

OM45GE - Posted - 09/01/2016:  02:33:54

shared Tonto's opinion of the Ranger. 

In fact, he

banjoscotty - Posted - 09/01/2016:  02:54:52

gave the happy potions to Tonto.

Of course this started

chuckv97 - Posted - 09/01/2016:  04:47:02

a race riot at Joe's Saloon back in town.

The uproar

OM45GE - Posted - 09/01/2016:  04:55:33

could be heard all the way to Boot Hill where it was near enough to wake the dead.

The dead didn't

banjoscotty - Posted - 09/01/2016:  10:25:59

wake up though,,they were planted very deep..

Just then Annie Oakley

OM45GE - Posted - 09/01/2016:  12:14:21

got her gun in front of Irving Berlin and inadvertently started a musical phenomenon.

Millions of 

banjoscotty - Posted - 09/01/2016:  14:55:31

onlookers were surprised at her talent.

So she gave up her guns and

chuckv97 - Posted - 09/01/2016:  17:29:36

went trucking for Oakley Truck Lines, hitting the hiways and biways with a vengeance.



Poor ol' Irving

banjoscotty - Posted - 09/02/2016:  02:55:33

never figured that out.

The moral of the story is

OM45GE - Posted - 09/02/2016:  02:56:50

was befuddled as he couldn't figure out how to work a big rig into one of his musicals. 

He decided to

Is that your rig Chuck?

banjoscotty - Posted - 09/02/2016:  04:57:41

pull the same stunt that the Rubber Duck did on the bridge..

But the Duck didn't have "40 Acres" to

OM45GE - Posted - 09/02/2016:  10:31:56

turn that rig around so he had to go down the highway to the next cloverleaf.

That took a lot of

chuckv97 - Posted - 09/02/2016:  11:10:30

baling, since Farmer John had a bounteous crop of clover this year.

Forty acres of clover leaves/leafs



(no Bill, I pull a reefer, not for Oakley though)

banjoscotty - Posted - 09/03/2016:  02:24:26

so Chuck began a long turn to the left.

Just as he got headed back the other direction Farmer John

OM45GE - Posted - 09/05/2016:  03:18:50

arrived on the scene with a beautiful milkmaid on each arm. 

He looked pretty smug but 

I thought you had said you ran reefers Chuck. 

chuckv97 - Posted - 09/05/2016:  07:27:16

the milk maids quickly abandoned poor John to hop in the truck cab and head for greener pastures.

A milkmaid without a cow

But they promised to give

Not many folks survive

the methane levels in the cow barn.

The flatulence is

banjoscotty - Posted - 09/06/2016:  11:15:21

very unbearable.

Yet the remainder is but a

chuckv97 - Posted - 09/06/2016:  11:42:45

figment of your fragmented imagination.

Check your methane meter

OM45GE - Posted - 09/06/2016:  12:03:14

just in case.

You wouldn't want

the barn to blow up while you're lighting an old stogie you've found,, short but not too big around.

Why do you think Roger

chuckv97 - Posted - 09/07/2016:  04:29:00

put a real humorous twist on words, because though he came from the Oklahoma tradition of Will Rogers and Woody Guthrie.



Some say he suffered a concussion

OM45GE - Posted - 09/07/2016:  06:25:50

but I can't vouch for that personally.

He was a smoker and

banjoscotty - Posted - 09/07/2016:  06:36:15

was naturally a funny man.

But on the other hand he was

chuckv97 - Posted - 09/07/2016:  10:13:20

the king of Kansas City and snubbed the Cornhuskers in Omaha.

Okies and Cornhuskers

OM45GE - Posted - 09/07/2016:  11:45:41

don't always see eye to eye.

They argue over

chuckv97 - Posted - 09/07/2016:  12:30:31

who settled the territory Sooner, and who first planted that initial row of corn.

But Oscar and Hammerstein never

OM45GE - Posted - 09/07/2016:  12:43:52

argue over corn

They do, however, argue long and loudly about

who takes Shirley Jones home on the set of "Oklahoma".

Okies attending Broadway musicals

OM45GE - Posted - 09/08/2016:  02:58:42

Apparently they think

that Merle Haggard was the star.

It wasn't long till

OM45GE - Posted - 09/08/2016:  05:02:18

the producers were forced to call the police to try and break up the unruly crowd.

Things took a turn for the worse when 

chuckv97 - Posted - 09/08/2016:  08:19:29

the Arkies in the audience pulled out their slingshots.



Since then, New York enacted a bylaw
