Thanks Connie for a sunset in Africa |
I was reading Henry Thoreau on walking, I was encouraged to do so by Scott, Walking to Retirement. Walking had the idea of adventure, of being somewhere new to your experience, even a spiritual experience. As a young man I remember in particular walking with Mark Huber and had a spirit of adventure.
Another friend went on a backpacking trip to the off road trails in Yellowstone. With the college and career group there was a huge sense of adventure. My friend I had to share a tooth brush and towel. We survived! I came across a "HoneyMooners" script with Ralph and Norton. That show is one of the all time funniest shows. For me it brings the humor of sharing a tooth brush. Their dialogue went like this:
Ralph Kramden: Norton?
Ed Norton: What?
Ralph Kramden: Did you use my toothbrush?
Ed Norton: I dunno.
Ralph Kramden: What do you mean you don't know?
Ed Norton: Well, you got a red toothbrush and I got a red toothbrush. They was layin' side by side and I didn't know which was which, so I just went, "Eeeny, meeny, miney, mo."
Ralph Kramden: [holds up toothbrush] Is this Mo?
Ed Norton: [looks at toothbrush] Yep, that's Mo all right.
Ralph Kramden: Well, for your information, Mo happens to be my toothbrush.
Ed Norton: Oh, I was wonderin' why there was somethin' familiar about Miney.
Ed Norton: What?
Ralph Kramden: Did you use my toothbrush?
Ed Norton: I dunno.
Ralph Kramden: What do you mean you don't know?
Ed Norton: Well, you got a red toothbrush and I got a red toothbrush. They was layin' side by side and I didn't know which was which, so I just went, "Eeeny, meeny, miney, mo."
Ralph Kramden: [holds up toothbrush] Is this Mo?
Ed Norton: [looks at toothbrush] Yep, that's Mo all right.
Ralph Kramden: Well, for your information, Mo happens to be my toothbrush.
Ed Norton: Oh, I was wonderin' why there was somethin' familiar about Miney.
