When Churchill made ​​80 years old, a reporter less than 30 was photographing him and said:
- Sir Winston, I hope to photograph you again in yours 90s ...
Churchill's response:
- Why not? You seem very healthy ...

Winston Churchill Memorial and Library - Fulton, Missouri

It's a pretty amazing place. It's in Fulton, which is a pretty little town. The Westminster college is there as well. Along with a piece of the Berlin Wall and along with Church of St. Mary the Virgin, Aldermanbury. The church was built in London around the 12 century, survived the London fire and the blitz, and was eventurally torn down, the pieces numbered and shipped to Fulton and reassembled there like a huge jigsaw puzzle. It's a very interesting place to visit.

Cool! Thanks, Tina.

It's a very cool place. I've been there a couple of times. It's the last place my friends I travel with. We were there about a month ago. They were having a water color exhibit in the basement. The pictures were wonderful. They were part of some kind of contest. I can't remember more than that now.

Mr. Churchill was an artist himself, wasn't he?

[firefly]

That I'm not sure about. I don't remember seeing anything in this museum that he did, but then they have a lot of stuff in there.

There were two painting there for the contest that I really loved. One was of Beale Street and the other was of a little girl brushing her horse. The were wonderful.

There are some very nice B&B's in the area too. We stayed at one that was like a half block from the museum and college (all the frat houses were just around the corner too). It's a good thing we only stayed there for three days because, OH MY could that lady cook.

The bed in my room was so high I really needed a step ladder to get in bed. It was a very nice place.

Yep, painted many "moods" if you like, same as Frank I think (correct me if Im wrong) in his quiet, or angry, and free time, Churchill was a fantastic painter, like Frank, like Tony Bennett, away from the crowds, away from everyone.
Geniuses paint.

When I think of Sir Winston's art, I think of the painting of him sitting in his garden in front of an easel, brush in hand, wearing a bowler if I remember correctly, the omnipresent cigar in his mouth. Might have been a self-portrait.

This one Ace? Sir Winston Churchill by Arthur Pan - Framed Figure print

He didn't do self portraits, was modest in some ways. I remember seeing his grandson interviewed, Nicholas Soames MP, he was at Chartwell as a kid in the 50's and asked Winston "Grandad is it true what the papers say, that you're Britains greatest man?"

To which he replied "Yes, it is, now bugger off I'm trying to work".

No, not that one. The more I think about the one I'm thinking about, he was wearing an artist's smock. The view of him was from behind his right side in front of a mass of flowery bushes. I may have this totally wrong... memory, you know. I searched the internet and couldn't find it.

Didn't know that about self-portraits. Thanks, Nick.

The psychiatrist asks the blonde:
- Do you usually hear voices without knowing who is speaking or where they come from?
- Yes, I do!
- And when that happens?
- When you pick up the phone!

In the psychiatrist's office, the doctor enters his room and finds a man on the ground, walking four with something in his mouth.

The psychiatrist asks:
- Ah! Look who came here today! It's a kitten?

The man moves to another corner. The doctor follows:

- A dog?

He crawls under the table the doctor puts his hand on the computer and turns to a little hole in the ground by pulling a wire ...

The doctor then sits in his chair and says:

- Ok I think it really is a cat. Want to talk about it?

The guy's mouth takes a roll of duct tape and says ...

'Look, doctor, or you leave me alone or I will no longer install this ****ing internet here! "

A man visits God and says "God, do you mind if I ask you a few questions?"
God says "No, ask me anything at all."
So the man says "God, you've been around for a very long time, so, for you, how long is a thousand years?"
God replies "For me, a thousand years is only five minutes."
The man then says "That's interesting God. And, for you, how much is a million dollars?"
God replies "For me, a million dollars is only five cents."
The man says "Really? Well then God, could you lend me five cents please?"
God looks at the man, smiles, and says "Of course my son. Just wait five minutes!"

Good one.


Drinking with a Jersey Girl

A Mexican, an Arab, and a Jersey girl are in the same bar.

When the Mexican finishes his beer, he throws his glass in the air, pulls out his pistol, and shoots the glass to pieces.
He says, "In Mexico , our glasses are so cheap we don't need to drink with the same one twice."

The Arab, obviously impressed by this, drinks no-alcohol beer (cuz he's a Muslim!), throws it into the air, pulls out his AK-47, and shoots the glass to pieces. He says, "In the Arab World, we have so much sand to make glasses that we don't need to drink with the same one twice either."

The Jersey girl, Cool as a Cucumber, picks up her beer, downs it in one gulp, throws the glass into The air, whips out her 45, and shoots the Mexican and the Arab.

Catching her glass, setting it on the bar, and calling for a refill, she says, "In Jersey we have so many Illegal aliens that we don't have to drink with the same ones twice"

After two drinks, she, at the age of the wolf and very vain, question:
- How many years you give me?
- For this look, less than 25 years. For the skin, about 20. And by that body, 18.
- Our ... you know how to seduce a woman! What will you do now?

- TO SUM UP!

[Lourdes]

Follow the road a group of burly and mustachioed biker in his powerful, huge and black Harley-Davidson, when suddenly a girl are about to jump off a bridge in Rio. The bikers stop and the leader, particularly burly and rough exterior, falls the bike goes to the girl and asks:
- "What the hell are you supposed to be doing?"
- "I'll kill myself," replies softly the delicate girl with speech rhythm and gesture fatal.
The biker thinks a few seconds and finally says to her:
- "Well, before you leap, why not give me a kiss?"
The girl agrees, off to one side of your hair and gives you a long and passionate kiss on the mouth. After this intense experience, the class applauds motorcycle, the leader has to recover from the emotion, smooths his beard and, addressing the girl, ends up admitting:
- "This was the best kiss someone gave me in my life. It is a true talent that will be lost if you commit suicide.
Why do you want to commit suicide? ".
- "For ............... My parents do not like what I view as a woman. "

The patient is lying in bed. In your back is your doctor,
lawyer, wife and children.

They all wait for the last breath, when suddenly the patient
sits up, looks around and says:

"Killers, thieves, ungrateful bastards."

Return to lie in bed and then the doctor says, confused

I think he is improving.

- Why do you doctor says so? Asks the wife.

"He recognized us all"
