that I thought would put a smile on everyones face?
1. Crunchy or smooth peanut-butter
( me. crunchy all the way)
2. Do you walk naked in front of your pets?
(me. yes. and I am sure they are sick of it)
3. Who's cooler The Fonz or Oscar the grouch?
(me. Oscar. I mean really what was in his can?)
Sure we can talk about world politics, the environment, religion, and all kinds of things. But let's all come to agreement that a laugh and a smile is just what we all needed to day.

I thought that the saying was 'Prince Albert in a can' and I am not too sure what that was in reference to. I am more of the understanding of the saying ~ Is your refrigerator running?
OK well all that has made me laugh very loudly. Prince Albert in a can is a saying. I think it was some kind of of meat, canned meat product.? And I have heard about the refrigerator running
Ahh, back in the day, my fun was to call a friend anonymously and ask that question, and wait for their reply of 'yes' so that I can tell them to go and chase after it down the highway! Try and do that with caller id!
And Prince Albert in a can might be canned meat, like Spam. That would also be a question to ask someone, and if they say yes, then you would say 'well, you had better let him out'. But I didn't ask that because I am not sure what it was either.
Prince Albert was rolling tobacco came in a can. You would call someone and ask if they had Prince Albert in a can? They would say yes. And then you would say “let him out “! Old joke 🤣😆 Ken 🐾🐾
Another old one involved calling up someone to ask if their refrigerator was running. Those were bored rich kids. Poor kids were not allowed to tie up the party line with their foolishness.
Goatgal GM. I heard that one before. Sorry for my ignorance but whats a party line? I think I know but I wanna be sure we are talking about the samething.
Yes, I remember that I was not allowed to touch that phone, unless it was an emergency. Most of my friends lived within walking/bicycling distance so why do you need the phone. No party line as that was before my time, perhaps, but I don't think that those existed in Canada. A party line was when several people had the same phone number but the ring would be different so it would let the different people know if the call was for them, I think.
Children in my family were also not allowed to use the phone much, and since we were charged for usage (if I remember correctly), we were not allowed to talk very long when we did. I still have those long ago instilled habits.
Well, young friend, back in the olden days, in the last century (the one I was born in), rich folks could have a private telephone line. Folks like mine with less money to spend on frills, had a party line...which meant that three or four customers might share the same line though we all had different phone numbers. If someone at our house was using the phone, the other parties could not use theirs. If we needed to use the phone, when we picked up our receiver to call, we could hear either a dial tone or someone else talking. If someone was talking and another customer picked up the phone, we would hear a click and know someone was either trying to use their phone or listening in. Often, older lonely people would listen in...probably just to hear a human voice.
I haven't tried those yet. I like to make my own jelly. Though my last batch never gelled so I got strawberry syrup instead. Tastes great on pancakes and waffles 😍
