It's Not Funny
Posted by Lee (Fort Frances Ontario, Canada) on 12 May 2009 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.
It's Silly Tuesday Again.
When did they start making utility poles out of Hard wood? I remember a day when a bird could punch a hole in one these in minutes flat. Mother told me to eat more Berries and iron for breakfast. Why couldn't I have listened to her.
