Greatest Music QuestionWhat’s the band whose three members had been with other popular ‘60s groups before combining their talents – sometimes with a fourth singer – on nine Top 40 singles between 1969 and 1982? The answer follows today's Heart & Soul.
“Good morning, “ said the young man. “If I could take a couple of minutes of your time, I would like to demonstrate the very latest in high-power vacuum cleaners.”
“Go away,” said the old lady, “I haven’t got any money.” And she started to close the door.
Quick as a flash, the young man wedged his foot in the door and pushed it wide open.
“Don’t be too hasty,” he said, “not until you have at least seen my demonstration!”
And, with that, he emptied a bucket of horse manure onto her hallway carpet.
“If this vacuum cleaner does not remove all traces of this horse manure from your carpet, madam, I will personally eat the remainder.”
The old lady stepped back and said, “Well, I hope you’ve got a very good appetite, because they cut off my hydro this morning.”
... as heard at 8:20 this morningThere are only two things to worry about:
Either you are well or you are sick.
If you are well, there is nothing to worry about.
If you are sick, there are two things to worry about:
Either you will get well or you will die.
If you get well, there is nothing to worry about.
If you die, there are only two things to worry about:
Either you will go to Heaven or you will go to Hell.
If you go to Heaven, there is nothing to worry about.
But, if you got to Hell … you’ll be so busy shaking hands with friends, you won’t have TIME to worry!
