Forgive me Family, but I just simply cannot hold this thought another minute. I have been thinking about this ever since Rumplestiltskin and Incogneto or whatever posted all their negatives. Plus all the flack we get from people in white coats that call themselves "Doctor".
HOW NICE
There were two Southern Belles sitting on a swing in front of a rather large plantation. The first belle said to the other "You see all those fine race horses over there in that pasture? My Father bought me all those fine race horses." The second belle just said, "How Nice". The first belle said, "You see all those registered beef cows in that pasture? My Father bought me all those beef cows." The other belle said, "How Nice". The first belle said, "You see this big mansion? My Father bought me this big mansion" The second belle said, "How Nice". The first belle, getting irritated because she didn't get a rise out of the second belle said, "Well, what did your Father do for you?" The second belle answered by saying, "Oh my Father sent me to edicate school". The first belle said, "What did they teach you at edicate school?" The second belle said,"They taught me how to say "HOW NICE, instead of F_____YOU!"
The next time some idiot trys to tell you that they know how a Cluster Headache feels, that they have them too, just remember to say "HOW NICE." The next time some doctor just passes you off and trys prescribing things that we know will not work on Clusters, Just remember to say "How Nice". The next time you have a pharmacist that butts in your business (Claudette) and calls your doctor because he is concerned over all the medication you are taking, just remember to say "How Nice."
This is just a little thing that helps, especially when you use it and others really understand what you really meant, but that kind of language is just not appropriate for ladies to use. My mother and her card playing group of ladies all in their upper 70s and 80s use this phrase all the time when something happens that they don't like.
Just thought I would share a phrase for you. Drummer, are you listening????? I can't believe I actually did this can you?
