The introduction was funny and the warning about those cell phones. Then the play began. Today, I realize that I may be sick...a "sick " person that is. I laughed so hard I was crying almost the whole play. It some times border lined bathroom humor, yet I laughed. Aren't older ladies suppose to be more refined? It sure wasn't me yesterday afternoon. At one point I told my daughter I may have to leave..I wasn't sure anyone else was laughing. I was almost beyond recovery from the giggles.
We seriously have some wonderful actors in our community theater. Even young people of our local schools. I read this play was produce in the seventies. I would recommend this crazy play to you ...especially if you are in need a laughing.
Here's Spam fact. Jay C. Hormel, son of the company's founder , wanted to make use of many thousand pounds of pork shoulder meat. He came up with a blend of chopped ham and pork , spiced it, canned it. This is how Spam got it's start.
Wishing all of you a great day. XO
I haven't seen the play, but I KNOW it's good to laugh.
ReplyDeleteLinda, I am actually glad I went to the restroom before the play. My daughter texted me later and said, Mom, I have not seen you that tickled since we saw ,"Baby's Day Out." Yes, that was a funny movie. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteThat would be great fun! So glad you got to see the play and got a great laugh. It's good medicine! I have a very active funny bone, so I'm sure I would have laughed myself silly.
ReplyDeleteJudy, I would say go see this play if you get the chance....in your community if they have a group. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteLaughing is so good for you - in light of everything going on in the world, I think laughter is what we need a good dose of sometimes.
ReplyDeleteNonnie, I did need to laugh. The news of Paris has been shocking and broke my heart. I think we have to take breaks from the news. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteWe were talking about Spam and Spam-a-lot at work this morning. What are the chances? We were all saying we wanted to see it. And I was the only one who knew that Spam stood for Shoulder Pork and Ham.
ReplyDeleteKathy, That's funny. I hope you get a chance to see this play. You know we need to laugh even while we are crying at times. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteSusie,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I found your wonderful blog. I'm so glad you enjoyed the play. Community theatre is awesome. I attended a play yesterday at Young Harris College. "Always, Maine," was a great play and the college students did a great job. I will visit your blog often.
Hi Brenda, So thankful for your visit today. So nice you were at a play yesterday also. Are you amazed at the talent of young people. After the shock of what has happened in beautiful Paris...I needed a laugh....this wacky play made me crazy with laughter. I actually felt better today. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteNo better medicine. I love to laugh. My mama often sang silly songs that made us laugh and now we sing those silly songs to our grandchildren. My mama called it a good belly laugh. I love a good play and I laugh with my gut and my children hide in horror!
ReplyDeleteBonnie, I have sang crazy ditties to my grands. But I used to sing show tune to my daughters. We my daughter and I went to see "Fiddler On The Roof", she heard one of the songs and said, Mom you used to sing that to us. It made me smile that she remembered. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteI have never seen the play, however, I do enjoy going to plays. My favorite play was seen in London....It is great to laugh and is actually healthy for you. I am glad you had a great time, too!
ReplyDeleteDo you remember the name of your favorite play? I remember seeing cats...loved the music but thought the play was lacking. It was so good to laugh, but I was a bit embarrassed at of much I was laughing...like I could not stop. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteWhat a fun afternoon. Glad you laughed so much. Sometimes in this crazy world we live we need a good laugh. Glad you had such a great time.
ReplyDeleteKris
Kris, I swear after the news of Paris, I did need to laugh . It wasn't that I had no compassion for the world's loss...Blessings, xoxo,Susie

ReplyDeleteThank you Vee....I agree...we need to find joy and fun when we can. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

Sorry. I loved your comment, yes, it's just me not knowing enough. Bless you, xoxo,Susie
DeleteI am a Monty Python fan from way back. Nearly 50 years later they still crack me up.
ReplyDeleteYou should check out Fawlty Towers with John Cleese of Python fame. It's a hilarious comedy about a hotel owner Named Basil Fawlty.

ReplyDeleteHope you had a great Monday- xo Diana
Diana, You will have to take your hero when you see this play. I think he would like it too. It felt good to laugh so much. But I was beginning to think I was laughing too much. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteYou sound like me, I can get the giggles and can't stop! Wish I could have been there with you. It's so good to have that much fun. I now hope I can see the play sometime. Take care and have a great week!

ReplyDeleteI grew up on fried spam.
Wanda, The best times I have are with my daughters. Ted says we all have the same sense of humor. It's so good to have time with our children . Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteIt's good to laugh like that, Susie! I definitely am less refined, the older I get lol.
