Stupid Questions

It never seems to amaze me
How stupid some people are
Whenever I am out
And take along my guitar.

''Is it a guitar'' people say
''No an ironing board''
I reply with dismay.

''Can you play it?''
''No I just carry it about for fun''
Even though it's a heavy one.

''Are they your dogs''
When out in town
''No'' I reply
''their someone else's
And I'm taking them back to get the ransomed money honey.''
After a while i's an annoyance and not that funny.

Since you play guitar, you may want to think about turning it into a song, "Ransom Money, Honey." Sorry I haven't read you before now...my loss, but I'm not losing this one.. into my favs and a 7 for humor. Login to Reply Peter Dome Date: 10/29/2015 7:04:00 AM Thank ui Lin that was funny. I was in a store and the assistant asked me if I was alright over there.?'', ''Yes I said, are you alright over there?''. We all laughed. thank you Pete.. Lin Lane Date: 10/28/2015 3:27:00 PM Geeze, even your reply made me laugh. What's that saying? "There's no accounting for stupidity," but maybe they should be held accountable...lol I overheard someone asking a uniformed waitress, "Can you take my order?" She smiled and held out her pad and pencil to him..."No, but why don't you take mine." He at least had a sense of humor and apologized. Peter Dome Date: 10/28/2015 3:19:00 PM Thank you so much Lin. Im flattered you enjoy my work. People can be so stupid. I was filming aircraft at an airport taking off, suddenly A voice behind me said,'is that a camera'', 'No a banana''. ''Are you filming'' grrrrrrrrrr. I used to advertise for antique telephones, and had people ring up and ask if I wanted to buy an ice box and some ladders. take care, best wishes. Pete.
