WTF Wednesday: Body Rubs, Swallowed Magnets

Hello Wednesday! Hello WTF!

I had no idea swallowed magnets could be so destructive. Warning: keep this kids' toy away from kids.

Moving on to 1995, the sculpture. 

Oriental sauna spa body rubs. 

Reminds me of the Willie O poem "Can I Have a Body Rub? Gladly!"

A long day, a hot and sore body,

you're tired after a long drive,

Can I have a body rub?

Playing with the kids, working in the yard,

you've just completed that five mile run.

Can I have a body rub?

Sitting at that desk for six of seven hours,

the stress and all the tension is trying to make you sour, 

Can I have a body rub?

We had a great time at the picnic, softball, sack races and a

whole lot more, now I am in a little bit of pain.

Can I have a body rub?

Coaching Little League and playing in the city league, as you

get older you play the price for these.

Can I have a body rub?

Our days have ups and downs, we do so many things to get

ourselves off track, or make life a funny thing, but to let off

a little steam and help yourself relax.

GO AHEAD AND GET A BODY RUB
YOUR LOVER WILL CHARGE NO TAX!

CAN I HAVE A BODY RUB?
GLADLY,

NOW JUST KICK BACK!

Last but not least, minimum wage rock n roll from the Bus Boys.

As with all wtf wednesdays, there are no answers, only questions leading to more questions.

"I DON'T EXPECT A THING"

holden, originally uploaded by skippy haha.

Holidays and birthdays, I don't expect a thing,
Everyone has a good birthday and all the holidays filled
with toys, gifts and joy. For me, whatever I get my heart is
overjoyed, I don't expect a thing.

The seasons come and go, sometimes I get real nice stuff,
Sometimes it's just so-so, you will never hear me complain and
I'm never disappointed, because I never expect a thing.

Someone said to me, "Why don't you expect some things
for holidays and special occasions?"
I have all that I need so it really does not matter, as long as
my folks are in good health, have food to eat, and money to
spend, I know my gifts will come in time my friend.

I don't expect a thing, so I always get surprised and no
matter what the gift, what really matters is what's inside.

I don't expect a thing and my life is quite all right.

I don't expect a thing and I always get treated real nice.

from Poetry of a Father Lover & Friend by William O. Johnson

in the spirit of cheap travel, here is william o. johnson's poem-

"DADDY ALWAYS SAYS WE'RE ON A BUDGET"
"Can we buy three"?
"No only one!"

I want some pizza, Daddy you are no fun!"
Disneyland, Knots Berry Farm, The San Diego Zoo
and anywhere we go,
Daddy always packs the car full of food
because we are on a Budget.

On a cross country trip to visit family and friends, he had a
calculator to track every penny that we could spend. We
brought our own juice, and numerous healthy snacks,
he said we're saving money,
and you know what followed that!
"We are on a Budget!"

We go to the drive-in, so that we can bring our own food.
Dad gets all excited, and he's in a great mood,
as we take our place in the movies,
he pulls all of the food out of the trunk
and as the movie starts
we begin to munch and crunch.

I heard dad lean and whisper,
"It's a good thing we're on a budget,
we can come to the movies every weekend."
Why?
"BECAUSE WE ARE ON A BUDGET!"

ORDER PIZZA

ORDER PIZZA

by, William O. Johnson

We have company coming over

and I don't feel like cookng,

it's late and I'm a little hungry.

Friends drop by unannounced, no problem ORDER PIZZA!

A sleep over with a house full of kids,

The game is on and no time for sandwiches.

The Boy Scout Troop has about twenty-five kids,

no problem, ORDER PIZZA!
What can I take to the party?
How many pieces should I bring?
I need a dish for the potluck,

no problem ORDER PIZZA!
Vegetarian, Cheese or the Works, it doesn't matter

neither of these will hurt,

Thick crust, thin crust,

Deep dish or that hand tossed stuff on TV

ORDER PIZZA!

It's a very convenient dish,

not just for you but also for me

ORDER PIZZA!

No matter what the occasion,

there's always kids around,

and if not you have a midnight snack,

now who could argue with that? ORDER PIZZA!
It will get you out of a jam,

trust me I know,

PIZZA IS WHAT I AM.

GO AHEAD ORDER PIZZA!

GREEN THE COLOR

"GREEN THE COLOR"
by, William O. Johnson

Money is my first thought, but that is too easy,
green the color

Grass is green and pleasant, there are many shades of green
carpet and pieces of linen, green the color.

Paintings with jade, kelly, moss, avocado and pea,
green the color.

Apples, the rainbow, lakes, rivers and even the ocean, there
is green the color.

Eyes of a beautiful woman, the pool table, a luxury car, a
book cover, house trim and a new dress, green the color.

Green will always relax you, never ever tax you,
green the color.

Pick a shade for yourself, share it with someone else or share
it with your lover, green is green, even under the covers,
GREEN THE COLOR

GIRL, WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

GIRL, WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

by, William O. Johnson

Man, she sure has a nice snap in that thing

and that look is just right.

I like that top she has on, that color sure is bright.

I only have one question for her.

"GIRL, WHAT'S YOUR NAME?"

Look at those lips,

my, my, my,

baby's got shapely hips

and she is top heavy too!

What am I to do? I've got to ask,

"GIRL, WHAT'S YOUR NAME?"

A short skirt and high heel shoes,

I can't believe her sex appeal!

Her lipstick is just the color I dreamed about,

I better make my move

before she flies away.

EXCUSE ME,

"GIRL, WHAT'S YOUR NAME?"

for something similar to listen to: "Girl, I Wanna Lay You Down" - ALO

WHO DRANK MY STUFF?

WHO DRANK MY STUFF?
by, William O. Johnson

Coke, tea, or an ice cold glass of water left in the fridge,
no one is to bother.
For an hour or two I work hard in and around the house,
thinking of how refreshing, the cold glass of liquid will be.
But upon my return, and much to my dismay, someone drank my stuff!
The question is who drank my stuff?
WOMAN! WHO DRANK MY STUFF?
"Not I," she laughed.
GRANDMA! WHO DRANK MY STUFF?
"I don't know baby,"
CHILD! WHO DRANK MY STUFF?
"It wasn't me Daddy,"
These were the replies.
My heart was hurt and my throat so dry,
My hands and back hurt I almost cried.
I could not move, at least not from the fridge,
They drank my stuff, something must give.
This is not fair, this is not right,
They drank my stuff, I'm ready to fight!
I will get them whoever they are.
They drank my stuff, they have gone too far.
Who drank my stuff, I just want to know,
But no one owned up to drinking my stuff.
WHO DRANK MY STUFF!
