Those Were The Days, My Friends

 


This is a picture from 40 years ago of all the young dudes auditioning for roles in Francis Ford Coppola's film The Outsiders.

Can you guess who they are?





So here is a publicity snap for the movie a couple of years later.

Does this help?

.......do do....do do...do do...do do (Final Jeopardy theme music)



Okay, here you go......

Career? He's 15

 


When I was 15 I was trying to make a bong out of a corn cob pipe.

He's trying to get his PGA Tour card.

Wait, What?

 



In a similar vein......

A husband notices his wife hasn’t been answering him when he talks, so decides to talk to the family doctor to see what’s wrong.

“Doc, I think my wife is going deaf,” he explains when they arrive.

It’s something the doctor has seen many times before and he comes up with a simple routine to test the wife’s hearing.

“Stand some distance away from her and ask her a question,” he tells the man. “If she doesn’t answer, move a little closer and ask again. Keep doing this until she answers. Only then will we be able to tell how hard of hearing she really is.”

The man stands about 20 feet away and asks her; “Sweetie, what’s for dinner?”

No answer.

He walks closer and asks again; “Honey, what’s for dinner?”

Still nothing. Now he's concerned.

He moves to just three feet away and asks her again. "What's for dinner?"

She turns to him and says, "Oh my goodness, pork chops.  That's the third time I've had to tell you."

There's Always One Guy.....

 


...who has to ham up every photo.

Not the good boy in front. But his buddy in back.

Discovering Days Are Over

 


Built in 1974 the World Discoverer cruised Antarctica and the southern hemisphere.

Until it hit an unchartered reef in the Solomon Islands in 2000.

And she's been there ever since.

The good news was all souls were rescued and the captain guided the ship into this bay as it began listing at 20°.



Not surprisingly it was deemed  a "total loss".

Don't Go In There!

 


Looks like this giant plant could eat you alive.

But this is an agave plant in an abandoned greenhouse. It's big enough to keep you in tequila for a long time, though.....
