Earlsthoughts - My band, The Rye Catchers, at our most animated

 
This is a place for my miscelaneous thoughts, not related to food (www.cookfocus.com) or able to be turned into songs and/or stories (those thoughts I keep secret until ready! But you can check out: www.theryecatchers.com and: www.earlleonard.com for older samples). So, don't expect too many posts here, but when they do come, I hope you enjoy them. Earl.

Why did the chicken cross the road? (LINK)

September 5th 2008 02:00
So that's a classic, and I remember the day when I actually got it, and realised why it was funny and not just obvious. I mean, `to get to the other side'?? Of course! Why else would a chicken (or anyone else for that matter) cross the road?

Well, to be fair, we all have reasons that qualify the `get to the other side' result.

One of my favourites (since I work as an Accounts Clerk in my day job I guess) is:

Why did the accountant cross the road?

Because he checked the records and they said he did it last year.

Lol

Hmm

No?

Ok.

Anyhow...

Here's a few I came up with a couple of nights ago (I think; maybe I've just remembered them. But I'm pretty sure they're my own).


Why did the Jazz Musician cross the road?

Because he felt like it


Why did the Artist cross the road?

Why do you think she did?


Why did the Old Punk cross the road?

Because Margaret Thatcher is a cow


Why did the Hammer cross the road?

It was time.


So, there you go. Anyone else have any good ones? Either way, keep crossing dem roads, you never know what interesting people, um, chickens you might meet.

Earl.

A quote from my wife, Rachel

"It's kind of satisfying to feel this frustrated"

Nice one, isn't it?

Context:

Rachel, amongst other things, is a painter, photogramer, collagist etc but it's been a while since she's worked on any specific art project. (We had a baby, Jasper, in January!) Recently, however, she started working on illustrations for a story she's written. It's awesome, but things aren't quite coming together super-smoothly on one particular page.

I know what she means.

Rachel's delicious thoughts often inspire my own, (and vice-versa I hope!) so I thought this a fitting first post. I've been keeping a pocket note book, writing down interesting things people have said to me for years now, so I might go though the archives and find them to share with any readers that might happen by. I hope you'll enjoy them.
