The best part of a woman

[Forty Rod SASS 3935]

I just got home from lunch.  I was sitting across from three young guys, probably early to mid-20s in work clothes with an electric company logo on each one.  There was an old man sitting behind them and sort of facing me.

 

One of these young men was telling the others about his new girlfriend, a redhead with long legs.  Another kid said something about not much liking redheads because his girl had "crow black" hair.  He also liked long legs.  Number three came aboard with a comment about not caring about their hair as long as they had dark hair and a big chest.  I glanced at the old guy who winked at me and stood up to leave.

 

He stopped to putdown a tip and then spoke up.

 

"You fellows are still kinda young so I'm going to give you a lesson that took me over forty-five years to learn.  There are only two parts to any woman that mean anything at all.  The first is the tween."  They looked confused.  "That's the space 'tween the top of their head and the tips of their toes."  He went on ,"the other part is the 'menta center', the space in their head that gives them a personality, and, hopefully a good brain and a sense of humor.  Everything else is just window dressing."  I got up to leave as three heads got together and went to talking about what they had learned....an smiling like Cheshire cats. 

 

It was a good day.

BTW, small town mom and pop cafes are the most useful places I know to learn things...and they often have good food, good service, decent prices, and they know your name, and quite often pretty much you are going to order.

 

I have a bunch of them hereabouts.

 

Also I have a proven way to meet some people almost anywhere.  I usually wear a rather "experienced" Resistol hat and I walk up to someone wearing a big ol' cowboy hat and say "Y'know, a person has to be crazy to wear a big ol' hat like that to town."  Once in a blue moon I get a negative reaction from some old fart with no sense of humor, but I can often end up with a name and a phone number.....and a new friend.

 

Try it.  You'll like it.

 

Hey!  That could be used in a TV commercial.

Too many cowpokes go for the window dressing and pay for it with 1/2 their property and income.

My dad bought that record on 45rpm when it came out! I think it’s the ONLY record he ever bought! 
 

He’d play it a couple times a day until my mom took it out and smashed it!   Mom was a looker back in those days and dressed in the latest fashions which she made herself!  
 

They both thought that the song was hilarious, but she got tired of hearing it two or three times a day! 🤣

Oh, HELL YES!  But it's like looking at a Rolls Royce, or a classic Jaguar.  They're fun to look at but I don't really want nor need one.

That's why there are so many flavors of ice cream.

Howard JOHNSONs ICECREAM PARLOR

Maybe that's why Howie's is seldom seen any more.

The Howard Johnson’s restaurant biz is gone. Still some hotels operated by another brand. There was a local motel that had an illicit business going when my daughter was night auditor. She quit there figuring getting raided wouldn’t look good when it came around to applying for a law license.

After gigs we would so go to HJ’s for coffee, the one here was open all night!

For a while I thought Tim Horton’s was the Canadian Hojo’s.

thats my take - fine to look but we dont buy what we cant afford - dont want to drive in bad weather - and cant wait to trade off

I think it was Jerry Reed who said he wasn't gonna get married again, every ten years he'd find a woman he hated and buy her a house!

And the maintenance costs are out of this world....

How is this not misogynistic?

I wouldn't know.  I stopped asking about prices when for an evening out got to be as much as I paid for my Freshman year in college
