A gardening related photo will be presented, and you the Readers will provide humorous captions. The wit available on Dave's is some of the best around, so please join in the fun! This feature is not a "for compensation" article - just our way of saying Thanks for reading. Hope you enjoy...now let's hear some funny stuff!

Chicken breeder, My dear woman, the care instructions for rearing your new chickens state quite clearly,

"take your chickens outdoors in DRY WEATHER"

nowhere does it say take your chicken outdoors to DYE the Feathers.

WeeNel.

Subject: Easter Eggs???

Posted by Mibus2 (from Flint, Tyler, TX) on March 8, 2008 at 12:19 PM:

Well honey how do ya like my new do???
Stunning isn't' it...
Not eggsactly what I had planned on but ya know how the kids like to color eggs for Easter.
Those dang kids got a lil carried away this year, made the dye stronger then usual so instead of it just covering the eggs they covered everything including me!!!
So Ladies let me tell ya if your gonna dye eggs this year for Easter make sure you wear a rain coat and bonnet other wise when they start having a food coloring fight you may just end up with a new stand out in the crowd look . Make sure you r easter outfit matches too as you WILL be the Talk of the Town.

I was trying to think what the rooster made me think of and then I remembered a movie years ago called Ladykiller. Someone had on a funky wig similar to the the tophat here and it was a funky color. LOL

ahhhhh, dahlin, you would sooooo not believe.....Ralph and I were discussing just before he blew me dry, how archaic were the tinted shades of lemon verbena that Lourinda insisted he put in her hair, and with all that pale skin, someone should tell her it just doesn't help slow down the inevitible aging process. The subtle magenta tones so enhance my delicate complexion, though, don't you think?
