Amoeba got a belly laugh out of this.
Why don’t you have a seat and ponder why.
(You may have to biggie the photo to figure it out.)
As for me, I’ll stand.
~*~
Actually, I’ll be sitting — on an airplane winging my way back to Hawaii. First thing in the morning, Amoeba and I are headed home — much sooner than either of us would like. Unfortunately, duty calls.

I hope you’re having a safe and wonderful trip home! The bench cracked me up. This week I took a photo of a propped-open door with a sign on it that read “please do not prop open the door”. Love stuff like that!
LOL

Susan — so do I!
Hmm. I can see sitches or broken bones now, should one of my children ever find that bench.
Safe trip home!
.-= FamilyMan´s last blog ..Friday’s Findings for June 17, 2009 =-.
Ian – -and would that be the “something wonderful;” from the plaque?
Have a wonderful trip. See you when you get home.
.-= Cherie´s last blog ..Mmmm … Ice Cream Sandwiches =-.
Cherie – -that was precisely the point of this post! And we did thank you.
Nice bench…LOL. I’ll see ya tonight. I’m not working so far. I’ll let you know later in the day. Aloha my friend :0
Thom — thanks for dinner! We ate it and went to bed soon thereafter!
*Chuckle*
Nice one
Safe flight to you guys!
.-= Nicole´s last blog ..Juvenile Marsh harrier flight show =-.
Thanks, Nicole. We are home and all is well.
Safe trip home, I don’t think I’ll be sitting on the bench either, even though something wonderful might happen.
Bill — yes, because there is too much potential for something NOT wonderful!
As long as you sit still nothing dreadful will happen.
All vactions end.
.-= Dr. John´s last blog ..Flash 55 =-.
Dr. John — “nothing dreadful” is not the same thing as “something wonderful”, honest.
I can’t believe it’s been 5 weeks already! Has it really? LOL! The bench looks sturdy enough to me… I’ll sit lightly!
.-= Melli´s last blog ..Today I AM Whining… =-.
Melli — yes, I guess it has. It doesn’t seem like 5 weeks to me, either. And did you read the plaque on the bench?
I did! LOL!
.-= Melli´s last blog ..Today I AM Whining… =-.
The sentiment warmed my heart and I think I’d take a chance and have a seat.
Especially if that bench faces the water.
.-= Carletta´s last blog ..The Old Family Farm =-.
Carletta — it does face the harbor, but there is a building in the way of a really great view.
Welcome home Quilly! Five weeks eh? How time flies when you’re having fun. I hope you had a wonderful holliday.
Jientje – -it certainly didn’t seem like 5 weeks!
A benchmark in humour there
Have a safe trip home.

Tony — would your wife take it amiss if I said I love you? Your mind is such a delightful playground.
Hehe, I never thought a trip to the hospital would be something wonderful-though, I suppose if I was assigned to a hot doctor…
.-= silverneurotic´s last blog ..Protected: Brick Wall =-.
SN — and he’s single, too …..
I think I would have to believe in my heart that the thing would stay still! lol
Took your name in vain and linked to you in my last post. And – got a joke for you and OC which my eldest told me. (Hope OC has a sense of humour…)
Q – How many amoeba’s does it take to change a lightbulb?
A – One, no! – two! no! – four! no! – eight! no!……..
Thought of OC immediately. Honestly.
.-= Thumbelina´s last blog ..Butterflies and Beach Fun =-.
Thumbelina, got it right away.
Q: How many bacteria does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: A whole crowd. I got one here. Wait ten minutes and we’ll have the job done.
.-= the amoeba´s last blog ..Of Spirits, Some of Them In The Sky =-.
Ooh! Ooh! I got something to do with biology right?
Aaah. All those years in the classroom. Not wasted after all.
Well, maybe I was, but the time weren’t wasted anyway! lol
(I wasn’t sure if amoebae could do this. I knew some cells did, and I remembered that amoebae are single celled animals, and divide like that but not sure if the process is that rapid hence my thought it is probably inaccurate scientifically. Bacteria now, they are a different matter….!)
.-= Thumbelina´s last blog ..Butterflies and Beach Fun =-.
Thumbeline — I don’t get the joke. Hopefully my Amoeba will. And I can’t come to see what you’ve done to me just yet. Sorry, I have work to do!
amoebae (as I understand it) can double their cells again and again so first there is one, then two, then four, then eight… and so on. Very simplistic view and biologically, very inaccurate but a funny joke. ;0)
