Home-made.



How wonderful!

Bought vs Homemade (it just doesn't get much cuter than this... note the expression in the picture)

Six year old Annie returns home from school and says that today she had her first family planning lesson at school.

Her mother, very interested, asks: "Oh... How did it go"

"I nearly died of shame!" she answers. "Sam from down the street says the stork brings babies. Sally next door said you can buy babies at the orphanage. Pete in my class says you can buy babies at the hospital."

Her mother answers laughingly, "But that's no reason to be ashamed."

"No... but I can't tell them that we were so poor that you and daddy had to make me yourselves!"

Elephantine itch



A LITTLE ITCH and A VW POLO

When an Elephant Needed a
​ ​
Tummy Rub





This is the moment a bull elephant decided to scratch an itch on a parked car. The two terrified occupants of this VW Polo found themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time as a giant elephant stooped down to rub itself against the vehicle's roof and bonnet.
The incredible images were taken by Armand Grobler, 21, a field guide and lodge manager, in Pilanesburg National Park in South Africa.


There were two people inside the car at the time the massive bull elephant started playing with it….'Yet even though it was in this condition, it displayed no signs of aggression or frustration and was in a more playful mood.'Elephants frequently use logs, small trees and rocks to relieve an itch or remove parasites - but with the car so close to hand, it was a chance too good to pass up.

Mr Grobler added: 'We were unsure of what to do in the situation when the elephant made contact with the car, and when the car was being crushed, we feared for the lives of the driver and passenger but our efforts were very limited as to what we could do.

'The all-round emotion that was within our vehicle, as we watched in horror, was that we were rushed with adrenaline yet terrified and helpless.


After the elephant had finished the car was left with 4 blown tires and a broken chassis
​.​

The photos were taken by Armand Grobler, a field guide and lodge manager in Pilanesburg, South Africa. The two passengers in the car, male and female, both in late 20's or early 30's, were not harmed, only badly shaken up. They were both in shock but happy to be alive.
'The car was not so lucky. From what we could see and hear, all the windows were smashed, the roof was badly dented and the entire top part of the car smashed…..'All four tyres had been blown and the chassis broken.'

As for the elephant, after giving itself a good scratch, it continued on its way itch free
​,
oblivious to the destruction it had left behind

 - Priceless v.clip.....

This film is believed to have never been seen before, only shots of the surrender were known. 
  If you are a history buff
you will enjoy this. General McArthur's voice is a rarity in these old film clips.
Japanese Surrender- Amazing Footage.This is a 'must see' for the WWII history buff or anyone  
 interested in history.  
    This is an actual film made of the surrender ceremony of the Japanese to  
 McArthur in Tokyo Bay in September 1945. Actual voice of the General.
Never been shown to the general public before.  
 We always saw the "stills" but never the film itself.
