Not exactly my idea of a dream home.

Well, if it doesn’t sell at two million, they could always chop the price, ahahahaha!

 

[Mr. Ed]

Prices chopped!
Opps, @Fyrefox, I didn’t see your post above. Either way, chop chop I must hurry along

 

[Remy]

No thanks.

Take a minute to listen to this; you won't be sorry.

Interesting case & movie with Elizabeth Montgomery & Fritz Weaver.

If the price goes down, I'll ax the deal & cut the mortgage company a check.

Good place to catch forty whacks, er, forty winks.

I wish they still wrote songs like that now. Some of those Broadway shows were so brilliant!

"Oh, you can't chop your mama up in Massachusetts,
That sort of thing just isn't very nice!"

Do you remember/did you ever listen to Tom Lehrer?

 

[Sunny]

Of course, JimBob. I was his #1 fan!

My favorite Tom Lehrer song was The Irish Ballad. It still makes me laugh, after all these years. However, this Lizzie Borden song was not by him, as far as I know. It was in a show called New Faces of 1952 (the year you were born?). I thought the repetition of "You can't chop your papa up in Massachusetts" because it violates the rules of etiquette was absolutely priceless. You can google the full lyrics, but here is the final verse:

But you can't chop your
Papa up in Massachausetts
And then get dressed
And go out for a walk
No, you can't chop your
Papa up in Massachusetts
Massachusetts is a far cry from New York!

Actually, Lizzie was acquitted. I don't think anyone else was ever arrested for the crime.

To be honest, I wouldn't mind hacking a few of my relatives to bits in my home, and then selling it for millions.

Actually O.J. was acquitted and crime never solved, too. Did the Brentwood house value increase, I wonder? It was already pretty pricey.

Giving you family a close hair cut.
