Answer:
"The Hut-Sut Song (a Swedish Serenade)" is a novelty song from the 1940s with nonsense lyrics. The song was written in 1941 by Leo V. Killion, Ted McMichael and Jack Owens. The first and most popular recording was by Horace Heidt and His Musical Knights. A 1941 Time Magazine entry suggests the song was probably a creative adaptation of an unpublished Missouri River song called "Hot Shot Dawson".[1]

I go to one of those no appointment needed big chain hair salons, and this haircut is one of the better ones I've had there. Ironically, I tipped the person who gave me the bad haircut, but it is so hard to tell just what you've got until you get home and check it out.

C Willie you know how everyone talks about how polite Canadians are and how we say sorry all the time. Well here's a perfect example

I went to a new place to get my hair highlighted. I thought something was up when she did the foil highlights but then said she was going to put toner in. I knew that didn't sound right but I thought, she knows what she's doing. So we go back to her station and she takes the foils out and my hair is orange. Just so you know my hair is blonde. She says "is this okay?" Well, no...............it's not okay, I said. So then she takes me back to the sink, says "don't worry hon, we'll fix it" Uh, first off, I'm not your hon, just fix it. I didn't say this, I was just thinking it. So, at this point, my scalp is burning. She puts some other toner in to get rid of the first one. Takes me back to her station and at this point I finally said, you know when you do foil highlights I don't think you need to do toner. So, she precedes to redo the highlights. I left there with platinum blonde hair. Not highlighted. Just one big fake looking blonde mess. Meanwhile, all the other hairstylists are consoling her cause she is so upset and no one is consoling me. I being the true Canadian that I am ended up giving her a tip cause she was upset? Never mind me. When I went home there was about an inch of dry, damaged scalp. Every time I pulled my comb through my hair it looked like it was raining dry skin. I finally went to another place and the girl doing my hair said my scalp was so inflamed that I'm lucky I didn't lose my hair and that she knew of another person who had the same happen to her who sued the salon and received $10,000 in damages. And I tipped the one who did it to me cause I felt bad for her......................:P

Veronica91, that was so interesting about how things were when you first started in nursing.

I use to be jealous of my Dad when he went to school in the late 1920's and 1930's. He rode horse back for all 12 years to and from school :) Dad also use to brag to people that he dated all the girls in his senior class..... of course Dad wouldn't say there were only two girls in that class.

Gershun - if you are truly Canadian then you'll remember the time you bumped into a piece of furniture & said 'sorry' .... we've all done it but it beats the rage & guns south of 49 - I bumped into a cart in grocery store & said 'sorry' to lady & she replied 'it's a good way to meet a new friend' & it sure beats cart rage - maple leaf forever!

Another time at a formal classical Christmas choir a saprano stood to sing a solo. Later she stood again and my dad blurted out, oh no!!, no again!!! We left after that as we got very dirty looks from those around us.

There's a lovely Posy Simmonds cartoon of a woman journalist angrily bashing out a feminist piece on her old typewriter and whacking the carriage return (anyone else old enough to remember those?!) into her coffee cup. Which she grabs to save from falling and, yes, you've guessed it...

Good morning!
Made up a joke, and no one will ever understand what I meant. Trying to explain it to hubs has him laughing at me, feeling superior in intelligence. He thinks the ICBM missiles testing in N.Korea are propaganda, as well as the U.S. responding with planes flying over. All of it is propaganda, he says. That the U.S. regularly plays war games, fly overs, as does other countries, all the time.
Wanting to distract a friend from her fears, I wrote this:

"In the U.S., the abbreviation ICBM means it is serious in-continence and bowel movement."
At least to caregivers it is.

The song of the wind, rustling through the trees.
The song of a baby's first cry.
The song of Moses.
The song of crickets in the night.
The song of a stream, a babbling brook.
The song of time passing by, slowly, sweetly, without end.

For you, MsMadge.

Here is a game. An adult game. Let's see if I can get this right.
Since MsMadge is the party animal, the person with her game on, and since she is busy, I will start the game tonight, you all continue it. It goes like this:

"The person below me loves ice cream"
The next poster answers: True or False.
Then repeats the same, using another statement:
"The person below me doesn't live in the USA"
Is this true or false? n e x t p o s t e r....

I think it would go...

True, I love chocolate! (Especially dark chocolate, ohmigahhhhh)

True, I love kitties!  (I suppose not Everyone does, but... most people) 

The person below me would wear heels over 2" on a weekday, and the person below me lives somewhere in the CST time zone.

(How'd I do? I'm up early, y'all up too late for me to crash the party when it's happening. lol)

Ali and Cwillie,
True to form, you both are the best party goers I have met so far!
False, I no longer wear high heels at all. There was a lady at the chiropractor's office wearing 4" heels, and I did not wonder at all why she needed chiro care.
False, I do not live in CST.

The person below me just doesn't know how funny they are.
