          A major symphony orchestra prepares for a world tour. On the eve of their departure, the orchestra manager rushes into to the rehearsal and informs the group that the conductor has fallen gravely ill and will not be able to participate. Sadly, the tour must be cancelled. The 2nd chair trumpet player sheepishly raises his hand and offers to step in, as he has had some conducting experience. The group looks at each other and decides to give the trumpet player a chance. The trumpet player turns out to be a brilliant conductor, and the group pushes forward with their tour. The tour ends up being so successful that they extend the performance dates for two months, and three additional countries. Rave reviews all around. When all is done, they return home, and after a well-earned rest they once again pick up their regular rehearsal schedule. By this time the main conductor had recovered, and at the first rehearsal, the trumpet player humbly hands the baton to him and returns to his seat in the trumpet section. When he sits down, the principal trumpet looks at him in astonishment and says "You.... where the hell have you been ?!?"

                        It has been said that some dogs can understand up to 250 words. I’ve had several employees who could understand at least that many……..combined, though.

                                      I can’t identify the trumpet 😀, but, As per my previous post on January 31, 2024,
                                      “ On November 18, 1950 a painting, called “Boy Practicing Trumpet”, appeared on the cover of The Saturday Evening Post. This painting also featured puffed cheeks and a dog. The model Norman Rockwellused for thispainting was Tommy Paquin.The trumpet was borrowed from Rockwell's middle son, Tommy.
                                      The slip covers for the chair are painted after the fashion of Rockwell's good friend, Grandma Moses. We can safely assume that she was flattered by the emulation.”

                                          Went to the Hardware Store the other day, and asked the first person I came across, “What’s the best thing for removing grime and stubborn stains?”
                                          “Ammonia Cleaner”, she said.

                                          “Sorry, I thought you were a salesperson”

                                            Went looking for a dog, to buy.
                                            No shedding. One of those “Doodles”, you know?
                                            There was Labradoodle, a Sheepdoodle, a Schnoodle, an Aussiedoodle,
                                            Goldendodle, and a few more.
                                            How much?
                                            They said the price, and I said, “ these are mixed breeds, isn’t that a bit pricey?”
                                            Well, they said, we have a Cockadoodle for $14.00
                                            “Oh, now that sounds more like it”

                                            Now that we’ve had him for a week, we are not very popular in the neighborhood. IMG_3305.jpeg
