Can you give me a C?


I remember this day exactly... although I don't exactly remember the date. I know that Carol took off from her work to come to our "CLOWNING AROUND" day at my work. She came into my office and handed me a blown up rubber glove and said "here, let me give you a hand with that!". Well, we hadn't even began and I was laughing so hard I needed a bathroom, stat! We each had our costumes ready to go and thank-goodness we thought we were funny as you never know how these things will go over!
Down the hall through the chapel and into the atrium we came on our bicycle built for two. (We borrowed this from Carol's sister Jeannie - and it was a perfect old bike with a rubber horn and a wicker basket!) What more could two clowns ask for?
As we were driving our bike with me in the front, we stopped on center stage and sang a few bars...

DAISY DAISY GIVE ME YOUR ANSWER DO...
I'M HALF CRAZY EVER SENSE I MET YOU...
THIS MIGHT NOT BE A STYLISH CARRIAGE...
I FOUND IT OUT IN THE GERAGE...
BUT WITH YOUR BIG FEET, YOU'LL LOOK SWEET ON THIS BICYCLE BUILT FOR TWO!!

SUNFLOWER, SUNFLOWER, THIS IS YOUR ANSWER TRUE...
I'M ONLY CRAZY WHEN EVER I'M WITH YOU...
IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD A CARRIAGE...
THEN THERE WILL NOT BE A MARRIAGE...
AS WITH YOUR BIG SEAT, IT'S NOT A TREAT, TO SHARE YOUR BICYCLE BUILT FOR TWO!!

After our song we told a few jokes, watched Gramps the clown blow up a few balloons, and then tried to play our instruments. This pictures shows us tuning up our guitars and kazoo's - I was asking Daisy to give me a C...
she had no idea what I was talking about so it was even more funny!
Well, she gave me a C
and as you can see
we truly think we are funny...
and it makes me think of our toast to the yellow boots... "May everyone think we are as funny as we think we are!"
Thank-you for this memory my friend!
