Serious Extraterrestrial

Today I asked a greenish feller,
"Why do you wear a propeller
on your head?"
This is what he said,
"It's transportation, not a toy.
I got the idea from Beanie Boy".

Haha, yup, I guess we can't assume they're rocket scientists just because they're aliens...or maybe we can (talking about stupidity :-))).

Worth a hearty laugh and a little quick internet search as to who Beanie Boy was. Thank you.

Well I am older than you just. Guess it wasn't as popular in Australia. The picture of Beanie Boy did ring distant bells.

Haha, thanks for finding out about Beanie Boy. I was born in 1958, so maybe only those of about that age know. I used to like the Beanie and Cecil show as a kid :-))
