A FABLE from Marsha Hamilton for JMB's 70th
CLICK HERE to read a fable written by Marsha Hamilton for the70project - Marsha is the the fairy godmother (though she's only one year older than me!) who sewed my wedding gown. On my wedding day, she gave me the same advice her mother gave to her on her own wedding day: She delivered this advice with perfect timing - "On this eve of your wedding, when you & your husband are in bed and you look at him (in the buff)... Don't Laugh." - and a straight face. Thanks Marsha! Good advice for any newly wed. - CMB

Jack Foley's 3 Chairs for JMB (via FB comment)
Vincent's chair
Three-legged chair
Chair with castor wheels
(wheelchair for an extra)
Not one of these is a department chair.
(Or a department store.) All chairs are cheered.
All cheers are tremendous.
Not one of them makes us chary.
Cheers for chairs and many years of funpuns for John.
