Bette Davis Eyes - by Kim Carnes


Bette Davis Eyes
-----------------

by Kim Carnes *
______________________________
* From Wiki entry on Kim Carnes:
Bette Davis admitted to being a fan of the song and approached Carnes and the songwriters to thank them. Davis wrote to Carnes after the song was released [in 1981] saying she loved the song. "It was a thrill to become a part of the rock generation", she said in her memoir, This 'N That. Davis' grandson, Ashley, told the screen legend she had "finally made it". Carnes and Davis struck up a special friendship, with the singer visiting her at her home several times until her 1989 death. In what she considers a career highlight, Carnes performed the song live for Davis at a tribute to the legendary actress held just before her death.


Meet Little Larry - by Anonymous




Larry, the brat
 Meet Little Larry!

by Anonymous

A new teacher was trying to make use of her psychology courses. She started her class by saying, “Everyone who thinks they're stupid, stand up!”
After a few seconds, Little Larry stood up.
The teacher said, “Do you think you're stupid, Larry?”
“No, ma'am, but I hate to see you standing there all by yourself!”
------------------------
Larry watched, fascinated, as his mother smoothed cold cream on her face. “Why do you do that, mommy?” he asked.
 “To make myself beautiful,” said his mother, who then began removing the cream with a tissue.
“What's the matter,” asked Larry, “Giving up?”
------------------------
The math teacher saw that Larry wasn't paying attention in class. She called on him and said, “Larry! What are 2 and 4 and 28 and 44?”
Larry quickly replied, “NBC, FOX, ESPN and the Cartoon Network!”
---------------------
Larry's kindergarten class was on a field trip to their local police station where they saw pictures tacked to a bulletin board of the 10 most wanted criminals. One of the youngsters pointed to a picture and asked if it really was the photo of a wanted person.
 “Yes,” said the policeman. “The detectives want very badly to capture him.”
Larry asked, “Why didn't you keep him when you took his picture?”
---------------------
Little Larry attended a horse auction with his father. He watched as his father moved from horse to horse, running his hands up and down the horse's legs and rump, and chest. After a few minutes, Larry asked, “Dad, why are you doing that?”
His father replied, “Because when I'm buying horses, I have to make sure that they are healthy and in good shape before I buy.”
Larry, looking worried, said, “Dad, I think the UPS guy wants to buy Mom...”
