The best part of that movie was always the three of them (Dreyfuss, Scheider, and Robert Shaw) sitting around talking.<BR/><BR/>Georgie B, Too bad Virginia or Mary Lee isn't around to help your friend ;)<BR/><BR/>Sandra, Certainly true. I will be posting a photo in a couple of weeks of my family circa 1885 and there are nine kids in the picture! <BR/><BR/>Josh, If it's a true epitaph on a tombstone then it's even funnier.David Cranmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04749857752139212888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401124973760279564.post-71116684446070737382008-10-23T13:01:00.000-04:002008-10-23T13:01:00.000-04:00hahahahahahahahaJoshuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05392363844762406853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401124973760279564.post-19032963103926073522008-10-23T08:52:00.000-04:002008-10-23T08:52:00.000-04:00One other thing that you have to remember about th...One other thing that you have to remember about that time is the saying "Old enough to bleed, old enough to breed" There was a shortage of women in the west, so as soon a girl was "old" enough she was married off or put to "work". Women were considered little more than chattel back then. It's also the reason so many women died in childbirth back then.sandra seamanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09786095189231150008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401124973760279564.post-52858052914400302362008-10-23T07:03:00.000-04:002008-10-23T07:03:00.000-04:00Sad part of this incredibly funny post, is that I ...Sad part of this incredibly funny post, is that I have a friend (male) who will die a virgin.<BR/><BR/>Right now, he is the walking model for the movie "40 Year Old Virgin".G.

For fifteen years she kept her virginity; not a bad record for this vicinity." The screenwriters might have gotten the idea from the headstone epitaph? Sounds good anyway!August Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11797743144228505958noreply@blogger.com
