And how, pray tell, does singing help clear sinuses?

She should sing 24 hours a day then sometimes.

Owwoooooooo!I liked how she was so peeved at the end; priceless.

Opal’s being in is a good enough reason for being out of the house.

I’m singing and deranged, I’m singing and deranged, What a glorious feeling, I’m happy again…

My Mom had a beautiful voice and loved music. When she was singing around the house we kids knew ‘all was right with the world’. Wish I could listen to her again….

I love music and I love to sing. Unfortunately, I too could clear a room. Can’t even sing ‘Happy Birthday’ in tune.

Earl’s out right now getting Opal singing lessons….

Actually, Jean Stapleton had a very nice voice. She once said that singing like Edith hurt her throat.

Love the dog’s reaction!

If I started singing… The whole neighbourhood would evacuate!

While attending a convention’s opening social function and enjoying the food, my colleague and I claimed a couple of seats at a table apparently occupied by a group from the same common workplace. The conversation in progress seemed to center around everyone in that group trying to encourage a particular individual to participate in the fun events there for entertainment.

“Hey, go try that rock climbing wall over there.”

“No, I can’t do that. I just ate, and I’ll throw up.”

“Then do that jousting thing over here.”

“No, I’ll throw up.”

“Well, there’s a karaoke thing set up on the stage. Go sing.”

Without missing a beat, I had to say, “Then WE’LL throw up.” Everybody at the table cracked up, except for our protagonist. Instead, he looked at me as if I just shot his dog.

True story.
