Petunias and geraniums don’t seem like rare flowers!

Shhhhh …. they bought them from a Brooklyn Botanical Gardens Salesman for quite a bit of cash!

About Camels

An American and his wife are traveling in the Middle East. An Arab approaches the husband, saying, “I’ll give you 100 camels for your woman.”

After a long silence, the husband says, “She’s not for sale.”

The indignant wife says, “What took you so long to answer?”

The husband replied, “I was trying to figure out how to get 100 camels back home.”

Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania is incredible!

They don’t come right out and tell you that 12 year old Dafna was robbing graves…

I envy the people who get to work in that 18 acre flower bed. Unless there’s some downside, such as the workers not really wanting to be there and who went to that country thinking they’d get jobs in their respective trades but ended up in quite an unexpected situation which they are now trapped in for life. Oh, wait, that’s what just about all workers everywhere are saying now. Never mind. Let’s go to the flower bed. At least it’ll smell nice. Most of the time. Well, some of the time. Never mind again. I’m fine where I am. I’ll plant some flowers in pots and put them on my deck.

The Amulet was from before the time of Moses but after the time of Joseph.

Finders keepers,I always say…..

Dafna was preoccupied with not stepping on any of the eight million rocks they leave laying around all over!

They can’t break out a street sweeper – or six?

Rich MIddle Eastern countries are doing a lot to convert the desert into oasis’s. I was really impressed when I went to Dubai

So…. the whole desert with ONE camel? I hope that camel got double pay for all that work

So, they used a cameramel to map the desert rather than the usual camerauto!

Now according to Google Maps, to get to Achmed’s sand dune, you take a right at Omar’s oasis and go past four sand dunes.

Not a living bat.

An old, blind Marine wanders into an all-girl biker bar by mistake.

He finds his way to a bar stool and orders a shot of Jack Daniels.

After sitting there for a while, he yells to the bartender, ‘Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?’

The bar immediately falls absolutely silent. In a very deep, husky voice, the woman next to him says, “Before you tell that joke I think it is only fair, given that you are blind, that you should know five things:

1. The bartender is a blonde girl with a baseball bat.

2. The bouncer is a blonde girl.

3. I’m a 6-foot tall, 175-pound blonde woman with a black belt in karate.

4. The woman sitting next to me is blonde and a professional weight lifter.

5. The lady to your right is blonde and a professional wrestler.

Now, think about it seriously, do you still wanna tell that blonde joke?"

The blind Marine thinks for a second, shakes his head and mutters, “No…not if I’m gonna have to explain it five times.”
