how 'bout you???...........

Wow   Mark  what a topic. This one may take some thinking as to what to put on and how long a list  to make. I know for sure one of the dumbest things i did was to get a perm in my hair. When I put on a rain coat and rain pants (yellow of coarse) you can probably guess who I looked like.  Think Seseme Street. And to this day there are still people tht call me that. I am sure I have done many other stupid things that I will put on this list later after my brain has had some time to consider the consequences of what I put on it.

I tried out for America's Funniest Home Videos at the Sioux City Mall. I did Donald Duck singing God Bless America. I wanted to sing the National Anthem but due to Rosanne Barr's infamous rendition at a baseball game, the producers did not think that it would be appropriate.

During my performance, the producers had the crowd standing behind me place their hands over their hearts. Although my arrangement wasn't good enough for the national show, KCAU TV taped it and played it that evening on the six o'clock news.

It was hell at work for a few days after that aired. One morning I was late going into a meeting and when I walked into the conference room, everyone was standing with their hands over their hearts waiting for me.

Never again.

Thomps that made me genuflectly LOL

If I could say I've lived half the life you've lived, then we could say you've lived twice the life I have

and I did chuck out all my old albums but that can't be the stupidest thing I've done.

perhaps I could think of something really really stupid to do at the 30th reunion that would make up for it all!
