Paul and Linda: More Fun with Captions

If you like these, check out the first batch from my Nov. 17/23 blog post Paul and Linda: Fun with Captions.

Stella: Daddy, can I spit in your hair and style it for you?

Paul: Stella sweetie, maybe hairdressing just isn’t your thing.

Paul: What’s a nine letter word for musician’s helper?

Linda: Marijuana

Flew in from another place B.O.A.C Travelin’ from the break of dawn On the way my little girls were on my knee Still got my pajamas on

I'm back in the U.S. of A. Or maybe I’m in the U.K. now Back in the U.S./U.K.

Stella: Daddy, you used to be a beetle? Amazing… Now turn into a butterfly.

More:

Stella: Is he daddy? … Or is he a music machine?

Paul: Linda, look at this! Our Mary is a musical genius. She’s already playing the drums as well as Ringo.

Mary: Daddy’s gotta ‘xaggerate my every move.

Paul: Linda, look at this! Our Mary really is a musical genius. She’s already playing keyboards like Billy Preston.

Mary: Don’t worry Mommy, I could never replace you in Wings.

More:

Paul: Seriously Linda, Mary just loves her keyboard lessons.

Mary: I’m so ready for cartoons now.

Linda: I really dig your deodorant, Paul.

Paul: I really dig your shampoo, Linda.

Strawberry Jackets Forever

More:

If Strawberry Fields were an asylum, this would be their perfect straight jacket.

Paul: I must have picked the wrong plant from the garden. I don’t think these were meant for smoking.

Linda: I think you’re right. I’ve been inhaling like crazy and nothing’s happening.

Girl 1: Get a load of the way they’re looking at each other.

Girl 2: Yeah, so fake.

Girl 3: They’ll never last.

More:

Linda: Who are these people?

Paul: What people?

Paul: I don’t know why we need these helmets. It’s just like riding a horse.

Paul: Linda, I have something serious to tell you.

Linda: Yes, Paul?

Paul: I have dandruff.

Paul: Linda, I know I inadvertently swore around the kids, but can’t we just have a swear jar instead of my having to go around like this?

More:

Paul: I don’t know about this Linda. I still think mouthwash is faster and does a better job.

____________

Linda: Paul, sometimes I can’t believe what comes out of your mouth.

____________

Linda: Paul, I’m pretty sure the expression is “stop and smell the roses,” not “stop and eat the roses.”

John: We’re giving our undivided attention to our new venture, Apple Corps. Isn’t that right Paul?

Paul: Hey… I think I see Linda over there.

More:

John: I hope we answered your questions. Is there anything else you’d like to know?

Paul: I wonder what Linda’s doing after the press conference.

John: I was talking to the reporters, Paul.

____________

John: If you have any further questions, you know our names; look up the number. Tell them Paul.

Paul: Hmm? Yes, right… Linda, I know your name; could I get your number?

Paul and Linda, getting their palms read from a distance.

More:

Heather: Why are you saluting? When you get married, does that mean you join the army too?

____________

The latest enlistees into the “Marriage Cadets.”

This reporter looks like he’s seriously contemplating asking Martha the sheepdog a question.

More:

Paul: Yes, you can interview Martha. Just remember to lower the microphone to her mouth. She hates when she gets misquoted.

____________

Reporter: Martha, how do you feel about your master getting married?

Martha: What? I thought I was the wife.

____________

Paul: Don’t worry, Martha’s not mad at you. She’s just disappointed that we wouldn’t let her be a bridesmaid.

____________

Reporter: Martha, how does it feel to have a new mistress of the household?

Martha: I’ve seen a lot of women come and a lot of women go in this house, but this one’s a keeper.

MOUNTAINEERING - EVEREST AND HILLARY

Signatures of Edmund Hillary ("E.P. Hillary"), Sherpa Tenzing Norgay ("Tenzing") and nine other members of the Everest Expedition of 1953 (leader John Hunt, mountaineers Michael Westmacott, George Band, Alfred Gregory, Wilfrid Noyce, Charles Wylie, George Lowe, expedition doctor Griffith Pugh and cameraman Tom Stobart), on a pictorial postcard depicting a B.O.A.C. Argonaut Speedbird.

THE FIRST ASCENT OF EVEREST: SIGNATURES OF THE SUCCESSFUL 1953 EVEREST TEAM ON THEIR RETURN FLIGHT TO THE UK. The summit of Everest was reached by Hillary and Tenzing on 29 May 1953 and news of the expedition's success reached London in time to be released on the morning of the coronation of Elizabeth II on 2 June. 'On July 1, Tenzing and the British team left Delhi on a BOAC aeroplane which had been specially rerouted for them. On the way to London they stopped several times and were everywhere greeted by cheering crowds... When they stopped in Rome, as a reporter in The Times quipped, John Hunt and Tenzing came down the steps from the plane together, "almost as if to avoid any argument about who had been the first to touch Italian soil"' (Conefrey, M., Everest 1953: the Epic Story of the First Ascent, 2014). Their arrival in Rome was captured on film by British Pathé.

Liberator C Mk. I, 1941. by Etienne du Plessis Via Flickr: This is the fifth production aircraft for the RAF, AM 262, which, like the other five in the the first batch, lacked the self-sealing fuel tanks deemed essential for combat. It therefore became a transport, first with 1425 flight on the transatlantic ferry routes and then with the B.O.A.C. Taken in the States prior to delivery in early 1941.
