I was looking for some Lou Holtz quotes this morning and ended up going down the rabbit hole at Brainyquotes. I came across Henny Youngman quotes -- anybody remember him? Funny, old-school Jewish humor.

I've told this one to a couple of DR's.

A doctor gave a man six months to live. The man couldn't pay his bill, so he gave him another six months.

Once, I was on a fishing trip in West Virginia, and found myself driving through a particularly rough looking little town, which in WV is really saying something. 

There was a sign saying "Slow Kids Playing" and directly in front of it, there were 5 very somber looking children very, very slowly crossing the street, following a woman who really could not have been any less then 100 years old. None of them looked up, even though we were the only car anywhere around, and they were all dressed like the year was approximately 1870. I'm sure they were just minding their own business, but we made a note not to return to that town just in case.  

It was also quite close to an extremely narrow one lane bridge with no signals or apparent safety features over the New River that could not have been less than a half mile long.

It was a strange trip to a strange place. The area was strikingly beautiful, but everything just felt out of sync. It probably didn't help that the rivers were all blown out and we didn't catch any fish. 

Driving down a gravel road 5 miles from nowhere this fall to a river access near Saco Missouri, I encountered one of those "Slow Kids Playing" signs outside of a fence on a remote gravel road with only a 4x4 river ford a few miles down the road.  They really should teach the kids to play out in the 40 acre field they own or someplace better than the gravel road if they are worried..

They are trying to, but the kids are "slow." 

That usually comes up too.  Lots of lead in the water around that area...
