When you know what the Mr. Ed show was...period.

"A horse is a horse, of course, of course,
And no one can talk to a horse of course,
That is, of cousre, unless the horse is the famous Mr. Ed!

Go right to the source and ask the horse
He'll give you the answer that you'll endorse
He's always on a steady course.
Talk to Mr. Ed.

People yakkety yak a streak and waste your time of day.
But Mr. Ed will never speak unless he has something to say.

A horse is a horse, of course, of course,
And this one'll talk til his voice is hoarse.
You never heard of a talking horse?
Well listen to this:

I am Mr. Ed!

When your son gets bored with the earrings you once gave him.

Or, when you can't fathom a father giving his son earrings.

I bet your dentures slipped on that one, lol!


And let me add...when you remember Bill Bixby before he turned green when he got real angry. (Come on, old farts, name those shows).

 

[Jethro Bodine]

You know that Jimmy Durante and George Burns weren't always old wrinkled men...and what they looked like then.

 

[Jethro Bodine]

...when you struggle or quarrel with a lad over a worthless beer bottle top;)

When you call someone a 'lad'.

(I could've sworn I already posted this!)

Challenge. Mr. Ed was a horse of course. I'm not even 30

Yeah, and I bet you remember 45 records, too, right?

(Sheesh! Kids these days...think they know it all!)

 

[Jethro Bodine]

...start telling people you've forgotten more than they know.

...or when 'playing with the kids' means you sit on the couch watching TV while they trash the place.

...you still 'dial' telephone numbers.

...after you punch in a phone number on the cell phone you barely know how to even hold, you wait for it to start ringing forgetting that you have to hit the 'send' button.

Don't have dentures, Jethro ... but I liked Mr. Ed .... I wanted a talking horse when I was younger....my horse didn't talk.

I remember Bill Bixby in "My Favorite Martian" before "The Incredible Hulk" .... and he was adorable in "The Courtship of Eddie's Father"

I can whistle the theme song to lassie too

Oh,Yeah? When I was young I could....

 

[Gordon]

fire a musket?

 

[Jethro Bodine]

...you remember when 'gay' meant the 1890's.

 

[Jethro Bodine]

fire a musket?

Yeah.

What about it?

(Young whipper snappers...fuzza...werza........)

Oh man. I couldn't read this post without singing.

"Ha-cha-cha-chaaaaaaa!"

 

[Jethro Bodine]

...you brag about how old you are...

...but resent it when people tell you how old you are.



...you pine for the days of the old Chrysler automobiles in 'It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world'.

I hear you, WestTexas! (I had to sing the lyrics while I typed them!)
