For about a month now, Mrs Pilkinton, Goose and Hippo have been hiding away, keeping their lives out of the public eye.

You see, Mrs Pilkinton was starting to believe that no-one really cared about the lives of her and her 2 best friends Goose and Hippo.

Then all of a sudden, miskeny shows an interest and now Mrs Pilkinton doesn't know what to do.

She is torn between protecting her friends or allowing people a glimpse into their daily lives.

What should she do? Oh it is a dilemma

A famed hypnotist was performing in this theatre. People came from miles away to see the famed hypnotist do his stuff. At stage he announced, "Unlike most hypnotists who invite 2 or 3 people up onto the stage to be put into a trance, I intend to hypnotize every member of the audience." The excitement was almost electric as Claude withdrew a beautiful antique pocket watch from his coat.
"I want you each to keep your eye on this antique watch. It's a very special watch. Its been in my family for 6 generations." He began to swing the watch gently back and forth while quietly chanting, "Watch the watch, watch the watch, watch the watch...."
The crowd became mesmerized as the watch swayed back and forth, light gleaming off its polished surface. Hundreds of pairs of eyes followed the swaying watch, until suddenly it slipped from the hypnotist's fingers and fell to the floor, breaking into a hundred pieces.
"Sh*it," said the hypnotist.
It took three weeks to clean up the theater.

The National Poetry Contest had come down to the final two contestants, a Yale graduate and a redneck from Texas. They were given a word, then they were allowed two minutes to study the word and come up with a poem that contained the word. The word that they were given was "Timbuktu."
First to recite his poem was the Yale graduate. He stepped to the microphone and said:
'Slowly across the desert sand
Trekked a lonely caravan;
Men on camels, two by two
Destination Timbuktu.'

The crowd went crazy! No way could the redneck top that, they thought. The redneck calmly made his way to the microphone and recited:

'Me and Tim a huntin' went.
Met three women in a pop up tent.
They was three, and we was two,
So I bucked one, and Timbuktu.'

There once was a flood and everyone had reached safety except for one man. He climbed to the top of his house with the water lapping at his feet. A helicopter flew over his head and hung down a rope for him to climb, but the man was deeply religious and said, "It's alright! The Lord will save me!" So the helicopter flew away. The water continued to rise and a boat came to him but, once again, the man shouted, "No! Go AWAY! the Lord will come and save me!" and, once again, the boat sped off. The water was getting dangerously deep by now so the helicopter came back and, on cue, the man repeated, "I don't need saving! My Lord will come" Reluctantly, the helicopter left.
The rain continued to pour, the water continued to rise and the man drowned. At the gates of heaven, the man met St. Peter. Confused, he asked, "Peter, I have lived the life of a faithful man - why did my Lord not rescue me?"
St. Peter replied, "For pity sake! He sent you two helicopters and a boat!"

Three XXX engineers and three ZZZ employees are traveling by train to a computer conference. At the station, the three XXX engineers each buy tickets and watch as the three ZZZ employees buy only a single ticket.
"How are three people going to travel on only one ticket?" asks a XXX engineer.
"Watch and you'll see," answers the ZZZ employee.
They all board the train. The XXX engineers take their respective seats, but all three ZZZ employees cram into a restroom and close the door behind them. Shortly after the train has departed, the conductor comes around collecting tickets. He knocks on the restroom door and says, "Ticket, please."
The door opens just a crack and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand. The conductor takes the ticket and moves on.
The XXX engineers saw this and agreed it was quite a clever idea. So after the conference, the XXX engineers decide to do the same on the return trip and save some money.

I'd appreciate your opinion before I send it to him:-

Let’s spend time together
Hanging here and there
Mobbing the floor
Running to the store
Opening and closing the kitchen door
I am not desperate baby!
You know that very well
I have so many guys to choose from
Yea I do!
And they treat me more than they should
The guys I am talking about are not
Kris and Mat
You talked about me behind my back!
Remember!
Now I can’t date them anymore!
So as a reprimand
Let’s spend time together
Just like before
Hanging here and there
Mobbing the floor
Running to the store
Opening and closing the kitchen door

P.s: I am hopnig that this is the boom!
