And Delilah lost her boy toy strength all because Samson did not heed the Japanese proverb: Give the girl pearls! Aloha! Rico

Funny. I would like to try "Limericks". You make them look easy and fun.

While reading this entertaining piece, I could just see Victor Mature and Hedy Lamarr up on the big screen.

The moral of the story is never fall asleep as it may be more than hair they cut off, ouch! Tom

LOL. This is a very fun piece of work, Rico. I got quite a kick out of it. Samson should have protected that beautiful hair at all costs!
