Hi Conchita!
Rather difficult to reply on your latter example! Like mentioned in the holy Bible:
Happy are the poor minded. They?ll reach the Heaven !
Knock...Knock....Knocking at Heaven?s Door
Michael :D

Hi,
To continue with Conchita's line:
| Quote: |
Always Look On The Bright Side of Life
from
Monty Python's Life of Brian
Cheer up, Brian. You know what they say.
Some things in life are bad,
They can really make you mad.
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle,
Don't grumble, give a whistle!
And this'll help things turn out for the best...
And...
the music fades into the song
...always look on the bright side of life!
whistle
Always look on the bright side of life...
If life seems jolly rotten,
There's something you've forgotten!
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing,
When you're feeling in the dumps,
Don't be silly chumps,
Just purse your lips and whistle -- that's the thing!
And... always look on the bright side of life...
whistle
Come on!
other start to join in
Always look on the bright side of life...
whistle
For life is quite absurd,
And death's the final word.
You must always face the curtain with a bow!
Forget about your sin -- give the audience a grin,
Enjoy it -- it's the last chance anyhow!
So always look on the bright side of death!
Just before you draw your terminal breath.
Life's a piece of sh*t,
When you look at it.
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true,
You'll see it's all a show,
Keep 'em laughing as you go.
Just remember that the last laugh is on you!
And always look on the bright side of life...
whistle
Always look on the bright side of life
whistle |

Hi Everybody,
This is the one I like the best:
There's no bad that couldn't get worse.
And the other:
Just because you're paranoid it doesn't necessarily mean that no one followes you :)

I used to enjoy whistling a lot. Now, you may laugh when I tell you this, but I just had to stop because I was getting wrinkles around my lips (which were bound to show up sooner or later, anyway)!
Vanity of vanities, all is vanity! :roll: |

Just out of curiosity, is your son a whistler, too, Conchita?

Yes, he is! :) And so is my dad. Why do you ask? |

That would make you whistler's mother... :mrgreen:
(...as well as whistler's daughter.)

Hi!
I like to add a nice short story about whisteling I experienced recently:
As you know I was working as a machinist at a machine-factories assembly. Well, there wasn?t much noise and it?s been pretty clean there. While working one of the machinists started imitating a birds voice. Step by step every of the other ten machinists started imitating another birds voice, too. So that If you would have entered the hall you might have been reminded to a birds cage at the zoo. 8)
Fortunately, no of the chiefs started beating about the bush. They surely were happy to hold us in their hands. :wink:
Michael

That's a consolation, I guess! :)
By the way, I'd have said 'That would make you a whistler's mother/daughter'. Are you using 'whistler' as a kind of proper noun here?
I'm also an ear mover (flapper?)'s mum and daughter! And, since we're at it, my daughter is able to do all those funny things with her tongue, as described in a previous thread. The only 'different' thing I can do with it is 'click' the popcorn song (really loudly)...

I liked your funny anecdote, Michael! :lol:
Have you checked the meaning of 'beating about/around the bush'? I don't really understand what you mean by it here. :? |
