I had a friend who was divorced and had had a number of 'interesting' relationships with men she had met, including one she had been involved with for a couple of years, and who had been helping her renovate her house. He rang one day to say he just had to 'jump in the shower' and then he'd be over - and she never heard from him again.

She decided to write a book based on her assorted bizarre experiences, and was going to call it "Love in the Middle Ages".

I haven't seen her for a while, so I don't know if she ever wrote it.

Surely middle age is the bit between birth and death? ie the bit between no age and no age........

Well, there are no Old Whippersnappers and no Young Fogeys. Maybe true Middle Age
is the nebulous area between Whippersnapperdom and Fogeyhood.

If it's called "The Middle Ages" does that mean they know when the end is? Same question for "Middle Aged."

I hate to button to things and I hate things not to button, but a change of thread every once in a while is nesscessary to help hold things both up and together, and for other stuff as well, sew its seams, sew that every needle be taken care of, darn it all!

Come gather round people wherever you roam,
And admit that this odd thread, around you has grown.
And some of the posts have been quite near the bone,
But some other threads too have been fading.
So you'd better start posting or 'twill sink like a stone,
For the thread it is a changin'

LITTLE ANDREW
      AIR -- "Gypsy's Warning"

Andrew was a little infant,
      And his life was two years old;
He was his parents' eldest boy,
      And he was drowned, I was told.
His parents never more can see him
      In this world of grief and pain,
And Oh! they will not forget him
      While on earth they do remain.

On one bright and pleasant morning
      His uncle thought it would be nice
To take his dear little nephew
      Down to play upon a raft,
Where he was to work upon it,
      An this little child would company be --
The raft the water rushed around it,
      Yet he the danger did not see.

This little child knew no danger --
      Its little soul was free from sin --
He was looking in the water,
      When, alas, this child fell in.
Beneath the raft the water took him,
      For the current was so strong,
And before they could rescue him
      He was drowned and was gone.

Oh! how sad were his kind parents
      When they saw their drowned child,
As they brought him from the water,
      It almost made their hearts grow wild.
Oh! how mournful was the parting
      From that little infant son.
Friends, I pray you, all take warning,
      Be careful of your little ones.

That night your great guns, unawares,
Shook all our coffins as we lay,
And broke the chancel window-squares,
We thought it was the Judgement-day

And sat upright. While drearisome
Arose the howl of wakened hounds:
The mouse let fall the altar-crumb,
The worm drew back into the mounds,

The glebe cow drooled. Till God cried, "No;
It's gunnery practice out at sea
Just as before you went below;
The world is as it used to be:

"All nations striving strong to make
Red war yet redder. Mad as hatters
They do no more for Christés sake
Than you who are helpless in such matters.

"That this is not the judgment-hour
For some of them's a blessed thing,
For if it were they'd have to scour
Hell's floor for so much threatening. . . .

"Ha, ha. It will be warmer when
I blow the trumpet (if indeed
I ever do; for you are men,
And rest eternal sorely need)."

So down we lay again. "I wonder,
Will the world ever saner be,"
Said one, "than when He sent us under
In our indifferent century!"

And many a skeleton shook his head.
"Instead of preaching forty year,"
My neighbour Parson Thirdly said,
"I wish I had stuck to pipes and beer."

Again the guns disturbed the hour,
Roaring their readiness to avenge,
As far inland as Stourton Tower,
And Camelot, and starlit Stonehenge.

So this guy is out in a boat in the bay (it doesn't matter which bay) and this floating thing comes by with writing all over it. The guy can't read the writing but is very curious as to what the writing says.

Knowing just how to solve this, he hauls the floating thing into the boat and goes to shore. He picks the thing up under his arm and walks up the dock and into town. There he finds what he's looking for. On a little side street is a smalls shop with a sign outside that says:
