WTF Wednesday: Body Rubs, Swallowed Magnets

Hello Wednesday! Hello WTF!

I had no idea swallowed magnets could be so destructive. Warning: keep this kids’ toy away from kids.

Moving on to 1995, the sculpture.

Oriental sauna spa body rubs.

Reminds me of the Willie O poem “Can I Have a Body Rub? Gladly!”

A long day, a hot and sore body,
you’re tired after a long drive,
Can I have a body rub?

Playing with the kids, working in the yard,
you’ve just completed that five mile run.
Can I have a body rub?

Sitting at that desk for six of seven hours,
the stress and all the tension is trying to make you sour, 
Can I have a body rub?

We had a great time at the picnic, softball, sack races and a
whole lot more, now I am in a little bit of pain.
Can I have a body rub?

Coaching Little League and playing in the city league, as you
get older you play the price for these.
Can I have a body rub?

Our days have ups and downs, we do so many things to get
ourselves off track, or make life a funny thing, but to let off
a little steam and help yourself relax.
GO AHEAD AND GET A BODY RUB
YOUR LOVER WILL CHARGE NO TAX!

CAN I HAVE A BODY RUB?
GLADLY,

NOW JUST KICK BACK!

Last but not least, minimum wage rock n roll from the Bus Boys.

As with all wtf wednesdays, there are no answers, only questions leading to more questions.

“I DON’T EXPECT A THING”

holden, originally uploaded by skippy haha.

Holidays and birthdays, I don’t expect a thing,
Everyone has a good birthday and all the holidays filled
with toys, gifts and joy. For me, whatever I get my heart is
overjoyed, I don’t expect a thing.

The seasons come and go, sometimes I get real nice stuff,
Sometimes it’s just so-so, you will never hear me complain and
I’m never disappointed, because I never expect a thing.

Someone said to me, “Why don’t you expect some things
for holidays and special occasions?”
I have all that I need so it really does not matter, as long as
my folks are in good health, have food to eat, and money to
spend, I know my gifts will come in time my friend.

I don’t expect a thing, so I always get surprised and no
matter what the gift, what really matters is what’s inside.

I don’t expect a thing and my life is quite all right.

I don’t expect a thing and I always get treated real nice.

from Poetry of a Father Lover & Friend by William O. Johnson

in the spirit of cheap travel, here is william o. johnson’s poem-

“DADDY ALWAYS SAYS WE’RE ON A BUDGET”
“Can we buy three”?
“No only one!”

I want some pizza, Daddy you are no fun!”
Disneyland, Knots Berry Farm, The San Diego Zoo
and anywhere we go,
Daddy always packs the car full of food
because we are on a Budget.

On a cross country trip to visit family and friends, he had a
calculator to track every penny that we could spend. We
brought our own juice, and numerous healthy snacks,
he said we’re saving money,
and you know what followed that!
“We are on a Budget!”

We go to the drive-in, so that we can bring our own food.
Dad gets all excited, and he’s in a great mood,
as we take our place in the movies,
he pulls all of the food out of the trunk
and as the movie starts
we begin to munch and crunch.

I heard dad lean and whisper,
“It’s a good thing we’re on a budget,
we can come to the movies every weekend.”
Why?
“BECAUSE WE ARE ON A BUDGET!”
