April, 2015
I stopped at Casey’s for my usual road sustinence. They have, on the counter, a calendar with cute little comics or jokes and such. Today’s was…
An old man was taking a walk. He saw a little girl playing in the mud, making mud pies. He said, “Your pretty dirty.” She replied, “I’m even prettier when I’m clean.”
I recognized that immediately. I asked the clerk if she knew who May West was? Of course she didn’t. If you don’t know, May West (1893-1980) was a vaudeville actress, singer, screenwriter, playwright, heart throb and sex symbol for many, many years. It was Mae West that said…
“When I’m good, I’m very, very good, but when I’m bad, I’m even better.”
Just goes to show you that nobody is immortal or is remembered forever. Only 35 years and we’ve begun to forget her.
