Location: South of most, North of few | With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, it is worth reflecting on the death last week of a very important person, which almost went unnoticed.
Larry LaPrise, the man who wrote "The Hokey Pokey", died peacefully at the age of 93.
The most traumatic part for his family was getting him into the coffin. They put his left leg in, and then the trouble started. |

Location: Florida Central Gulf Coast | For some reason, every time I hear this one I have this chuckle that kind of bounces twix my stomach and throat and lasts for a long time; similar to stifling a laugh in church. I know some day it will develop into a raging guffaw... |

I've heard that if you ever get the urge to run naked down the street, drink an 8oz glass of Windex....
It will keep you from STREAKING.. :D |

Not a single necrophiliac attempted to walk into the Funeral Home. |
