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.
