EDITORIAL
The caravan has been inspected and is ready to head east for a short trip (by our standards). The Silly next week should be completed with the bouquet of salt air around me. Maybe also some oysters or similar fare from the sea.
We also intent to spend a few days in the high country and support an area (or two) ravaged by fire last summer.
The need for Silly is waning, but I will try to keep it going until Christmas. When I started, I did not envisage sixty editions – around 300 pages of silliness.
So maybe the following image is appropriate.

The following video goes for over 80 minutes and has some great music from that era. Turn it up loud and maybe do some work around the house. About 25 minutes in, there is a great version of "The House of the Rising Sun" by Eric Burdon and his Animal mates. "San Francisco" is in there. Who could forget the Trashman and "The Bird Is The Word".

GARLIC UPDATE FROM AMANDA
Visiting dogs sat on some of the garlic so plant No 1 was removed for examination. See photo below. It is small but Ok.
The
rest of the crop can wait until January or February (or more dogs).
DEL SHANNON
The following 1989 video goes for just under an hour. If you are a Del Shannon fan turn the sound up loud and think nice things, or cook some scones. If you don’t like Del Shannon please move on to the next item. I know a couple of guitar players who will tune in. Enjoy……………..

KNOCK KNOCK
Knock knock.
Who's there?
No-one because we're isolating.
WOMEN
1. Water in the carburettor.
WIFE: "There is trouble with the car. It has water in the carburettor."
HUSBAND: "Water in the carburettor? That's ridiculous "
WIFE: "I tell you the car has water in the carburettor."
HUSBAND: "You don't even know what a carburettor is. I'll check it out. Where's the car?
WIFE: "In the river"
2. This is a frightening statistic!
25% of the women in this country are on medication for mental illness.
That's scary. It means 75% are running around untreated.
3. He must pay!
Husband and wife had a tiff. Wife called up her mom and said, "He fought with me again, I am coming to live with you."
Mom said, "No darling, he must pay for his mistake. I am coming to live with you.
4. Today’s Short Reading From the Bible...
From Genesis: "And God promised men that good and obedient wives would be found in all corners of the earth."
Then He made the earth round.. .and He laughed and laughed and laughed.
THE DEAF WIFE PROBLEM
We can all perhaps relate to this!!!
Bert feared his wife Peg wasn't hearing as well as she used to and he thought she might need a hearing aid.
Not quite sure how to approach her, he called the family Doctor to discuss the problem.
The Doctor told him there is a simple informal test the husband could perform to give the Doctor a better idea about her hearing loss.
'Here's what you do,' said the Doctor, 'stand about 40 feet away from her, and in a normal conversational speaking tone see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on until you get a response.'
That evening, the wife is in the kitchen cooking dinner, and he was In the den. He says to himself, 'I'm about 40 feet away, let's see what happens.' Then in a normal tone he asks, 'Honey, what's for dinner?'
No response.
So, the husband moves closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his wife and repeats, 'Peg, what's for dinner?'
Still no response.
Next, he moves into the dining room where he is about 20 feet from his Wife and asks, 'Honey, what's for dinner?'
Again, he gets no response.
So, he walks up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away. 'Honey, what's for dinner?'
Again, there is no response.
So, he walks right up behind her. 'Peg, what's for dinner?'
(I just love this)
'For Pete’s sake, Bert, for the FIFTH time, CHICKEN!'

HOW TO EAT A PINEAPPLE WITHOUT KNIFE

ANGELA MERKEL
What a serious operator!!
“She is Angela Merkel, Chancellor of Germany, currently the world's most respected leader, a physics and chemical scientist turned politician (she speaks German, English and Russian perfectly).
She leads the strongest economy in the European Union and the most important in the world, which exports more than 1,550 billion dollars annually.
However, she receives no free state service, no housing, no electricity, no gas, no entertainment expenses, no personal chef, no water, no free phone from the Federal Republic of Germany budget, and lives her life humbly like any other German citizen.
She does her own shopping, carries her own shopping bags, pays for her purchases and if she receives a parking ticket, she pays out of her own pocket.
A reporter recently asked her, "Do you remember I've taken a photo of you in this same dress ten years ago?
She told him: "My mission is to serve my fellow Germans, not to be a model."
It is a pity there are not more like her……….
PLEASE REMEMBER
That laughter is the best medicine. If you cannot laugh try to phone a friend, particularly one who is a good listener.
Please stay well and as happy as can be. The bear is after a cuddle.
