Let's write a Brokeback limerick! (How-to in first post)

[Sason]

Hm...... I can't really see the connection to beans.....


Donna, is that what you meant?


(not that it matters, it's just curiosity)

[Lynne]

Well, I was thinking along the lines of beans causing intestinal gas, gas leads to explosions, the purview of the NTSB for airlines at least. You could stretch it even further by explosion meaning a burning, explosive desire.

Chuck gave everyone a souvenir can of Bettermost Beans at the Philly Slash Bash last weekend.  NTSB, AKA Homeland Security, the organization that won't let you travel with shampoo, beans, or any other liquid unless it is less than 3 oz. and stored in a clear plastic bag, confiscated the beans from anyone trying to board a domestic flight last weekend.  Now, go back and read the limerick again.  


The beans were seized by the NTSB,
(Which didn't exist in 1963!),
Could pose a danger
And be even stranger,
To a guard unfamiliar with the works of Ang Lee!

I didn't get it either!
My understanding is that NTSB is primarily engaged in investigating transportation accidents, and is separate from homeland security.  Hey--"homeland security" would rhyme too.
(Perhaps you meant TSA Transportation Security Agency--we had a BetterMost member who worked for them, and gave us lots of great advice.)
Now I get the direction you were goin'.
The moral of the story:  check your beans!

My friend Joey (not really a Brokie) wanted to offer these limericks for our reading pleasure:

Two guys, one rambunctious, one quiet
Survived on a limited diet
Said the one, I ain’t queer
But I’ll tell you this dear
Damned if I ain’t gonna try it!

No more beans, Jack moaned to his man
So sweet Ennis thought up a plan
An elk he did shoot
And Jack let out a hoot
That night the beans stayed in the can

[southendmd]

Here's one more from Joey.  She's pretty good, hunh?


Next summer Jack tries to come back
But Aguirre wants no part of Jack
“You think anythin’ goes
You been stemmin’ the rose”
Ending dreams of more fun in the sack.
