The ones I remember were: What do Chinese people call their best dishes? Why do people park in driveways and drive on parkways?

Spoons are actually animate objects which try to escape from time to time. You think spoon hanging is based on the hangers' skill? Ha! Those spoons decide whose noses (or whatever) they'll hang from.<BR/><BR/>Peace,<BR/><BR/>TorTorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00600175432328664863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10923482.post-1136405389824700002006-01-04T14:09:00.000-06:002006-01-04T14:09:00.000-06:00LOL, great post.

I don't remember where it was located at. Not the best neighborhood because she couldn't afford that. She sold out everything up here in Ohio and moved to Texas to be near her daughter and son. When she got there her son stayed and still lives in El Campo. Her daughter took off and never came back. She was in Dallas last my mother heard before she passed away. She is buried in the cemetery down there.<BR/><BR/>My half brother owned a Texaco gasoline station across from a large supermarket. Almost across the street from each other. My mom went to his large supermarket while she lived there. His name was Charles Rhodehamel. He was a big, heavy set, guy and still is. He sold the station back to the gasoline company. Now or for the past several years he and his wife run newspaper routes for a couple of newspapers. And they make good money and only work a few hours at night. She works in the schools in cafeteria.<BR/><BR/>I never liked El Campo as a visitor. The downtown section reminded me of a place you might find in old Mexico. It looked Western in the movie set scenes.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for coming back.<BR/><BR/>Abraham Lincoln<BR/>www.oldmanlincoln.com<BR/>blog.efx2.com/user/oldmanlincoln/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10923482.post-1136394331163675462006-01-04T11:05:00.000-06:002006-01-04T11:05:00.000-06:00I'm still chuckling!!

I flew into Houston and rented a car at the airport and drove down to El Campo. I just mention it because the only time I was there before that year in the 1980s was way back in 1952. I just couldn't get over this great city as it was a small town when I was there back then.

You can click on my name and that will take you to my other blog which is huge compared to this one. Let me tell you about Houston. I sold pot and pans in Houston back in 1952. From door to door. In those days the downtown section of Houston was three blocks wide and about 4 long. One main street (long before freeways) came from the country into downtown. Just before you got downtown was a wealthy section of town where rich people lived. We sold pots and pans there. And believe it, when I say butlers and servants handed me a silver plater for me to put my card on. Can you imagine that? It is true. I also found a wallet downtown one day with several hundred dollars in it. The owner came running up. He grabbed it and thanked me and left. It was his. No reward. Amazing small town in Texas.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
