Today isn’t much different than ancient times. Why, some people actually believe that the reason why geese disappear every fall is because someone is eating them.
When I was first dating my wife, we had an evening when we were sitting and watching TV. She was in front of me and I was massaging her shoulders and saying sweet nothings into her ears. Suddenly, she turned to me and said “You’re a regular Don Juan, aren’t you?”. Without hesitating, I told her in my best Don Juan accent “ You know, the women call me Don Juan numero two. You know why they call me Don Juan numero two? Because every time I see a beautiful woman, I say ‘Hey babe, you want to make love?’ and they always reply, ‘No thanks, I Don Juan to’. She laughed, and in 2 weeks we’ll be celebrating 40 years of marriage.
When I first got married many years ago, I put some Cherrios into a small plastic bag and made a label that said they were Polish donut seeds ( my mother in law was Polish) I told her to plant them and in a few weeks a donut tree would grow. I got a phone call from her a couple of months later and she said that nothing was growing, so I told her that’s because she planted them upside down. She passed away a few years ago, but we always had a good laugh over the years remembering my ‘gift’
The best fortune cookie I ever got said “You are contemplative and analytical by nature” So I thought to myself, ‘I wonder what that could mean?’
