4th of July - Independence Day Ideas |
| CLOWNING AROUND Submitted by: Jim Pack Our town (Stephenville, Texas) has a fourth of July parade each year. The parade is always filled with the standard floats, horses, etc. My daughter has a Longhorn Cow that is trained so that she can put a saddle on it and ride it like you would a horse. I decided that instead of just watching the parade this year that I would be an active part of it. I dressed up like a clown and follow the cow with a wheelbarrow and offer (fertilizer) to the people along the parade route. I also had a bag of chocolate candy kisses and I asked some of the ladies and little girls along the parade if they would like a kiss. When they refused, I would say "well let me give you one anyway" and hand them a candy kiss. My wife was on the parade route and was out in the street taking
pictures of my daughter on her cow so I asked her if she would like a
kiss. She said sure, so in front of all those people in the middle
of the street I planted one of the longest most passionate kisses you
have ever seen on her. She was shocked, and I lost my red nose.
She retrieved my nose for me while I bowed to the crowd and hurried to
catch up with the rest of the parade. It was a kiss that we will
not forget for a long time. |
