Photo from the —Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum This photo was taken at the Findlay Foundry’s Centennial Celebration Dinner in 1960. We intend to have way more fun!
So what did these gentleman in the photo above talk about? Did they tell jokes or were they stuffed shirts?:)
A guy walks into a bar and asks the bartender, “what the quickest way to get to Chicago?”
The Bartender says, “Are you walking or driving?”
The guy says, “I’m driving.”
The Bartender says, “That’s the quickest way.”
“A friend hosted a dinner party for family far and wide and everyone was encouraged to bring all their children as well. All during the sit-down dinner one four-year-old girl stared at the uncle sitting across from her. The girl could hardly eat her food for staring.
The uncle checked his tie, felt his face for food, patted his hair in place but nothing stopped her from staring at him. He tried his best to just ignore her but finally it was too much for him. He finally asked her “Why are you staring at me?” Everyone at the table had noticed her behavior and the table went quiet for her response. The little girl said “I just want to see how you drink like a fish.”
