FEB 20, 19 .. WHEN PATTI AND I SEE AN ELEPHANT FLY

This one thing I will say for myself (as I tell one of the Committees inside of my mind to ‘just shut up’) :

Because I myself have absolutely no idea whatsoever as to what-is-coming-next so far as these posts here on dot.net go, YOU the Faithful, and YOU The Few, who follow along here have absolutely no idea whatsoever as to what-is-coming-next. How could you when I the author don’t know?

When I was a child back in 1941, Walt Disney Productions released an animated movie titled : Dumbo.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumbo

Along with millions of other children and adults, I loved Dumbo. There was a song in the movie titled : When I See An Elephant Fly. In the movie the song was sung by a group of crows. The lyrics go as follow:

I saw a peanut stand, heard a rubber band
And seen a needle wink its eye
But I be done seen about everything
When I see an elephant fly

I’ve seen a front porch swing, heard a diamond ring
I’ve seen a polka dot railroad tie
But I be done seen about everything
When I see an elephant fly

I saw a clothes horse rear up and buck
And they tell me that a man made a vegetable truck
I didn’t see that, I only heard
Just to be sociable, well, I’ll take your word

I heard a fireside chat, I saw a baseball bat
And I just laughed till I thought I’d die
But I be done seen about everything
When I see an elephant fly

Songwriters: Ned Washington / Oliver Wallace

WHEN PATTI AND I SEE AN ELEPHANT FLY we too may crow :

But I be done seen about everything
When I see an elephant fly

DAYS HOTEL AND SUITES .. INCHEON SOUTH KOREA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

At this point, I know what is coming. But do you My Faithful Followers know?

“Gullible?  Do you and The Shadow Know where I am going?”

“Of course The Shadow and I both know where you are going with this Post Cap!”

“Do you and Patti think that The Shadow and I, like you two, are living under a rock?”

 /sign me/ Gullible

How about our ‘digs’, Patti and mine, out here at the Incheon International Airport’s enormous, multi-hotel, complex!

Up to our ‘super economy Priceline room’ we trot.

“Not too shabby huh Patti?”

“Wow Cap!”

Ladies and Gentlemen .. Sports Fans everywhere .. We are getting very close ..

But I be done seen about everything
When I see an elephant fly

As we two were getting settled into our room, I asked Patti if she would come into the ‘necessary room’ and sit on the ‘sitter’ for just a minute. As soon as she sat, she just howled with delight.

IF you are extremely vigilant as to details, in the next two photos below, you may very well notice where I am going with this.

In the above two photos, look to the left side of the ‘sitter’. Do any of you notice anything? How about now as you look at the next two photos below.

The ‘sitter’ actually has a ‘control panel’ that operates it.

Now we done seen ’bout everything!!

For the very first time in our lives, we have a ‘sitter’ in the ‘necessary room’ that has a control panel to operate it!!

It has a heated seat with three levels of temperature control so that you can choose the ‘heat of your seat’ to suit you.

It also has several ‘water washing’ nozzle settings so you can (like most of the rest of the world do) wash yourself when you’ve ‘sat’.

And?

The ‘sitter’ even has a fan, operated by its control panel, to dry you off after you’ve been washed.

“‘Yes Gullible?”

“Cap, if you and Patti weren’t so set upon Motel ‘6’ and the likes thereof, and you weren’t sleeping in Gers and Tents, if you two would emerge from beneath the rock where you are living your lives, then this ‘enlightenment’ would be routine!”

We’ve seen a peanut stand, heard a rubber band
And seen a needle that winked its eye

We’ve seen a front porch swing, heard a diamond ring
Seen a polka dot railroad tie

We’ve seen a clothes horse rear up and buck
And they tell us that a man made a vegetable truck
We didn’t see that, we only heard
Just to be sociable, we’ll take your word

We heard a fireside chat, and saw a baseball bat
And just laughed till we thought we’d die
But we done seen ’bout everything
When we saw a ‘sitter’ with a control panel to operate it.

Still on our Honey Moon here in Seoul and Incheon South Korea and soon back to Russian Siberia.

Patti and Cap

    Now into the third day here at the Day’s Hotel, I still giggle every time I go into the ‘special room’ and sit on the throne! Never, ever, before have I sat on a heated toilet seat. Amazing. Smiling, Patti

    Well, you’ve got me beat by a country mile. I’ve stayed in some mighty fine hotels in my travels. I’ve seen plastic covers on the seat that rotate for each new sitter, I’ve seen seats that automatically clean themselves after each use. I have never seen a sitter like that sitter!!!

      Too TOO funny huh? Yes I too have seen all of the options you mention, especially in some airport restrooms in the United States (plastic seat covers that rotate etc) but NEVER EVER have either of us seen a sitter with a control panel. We saw an elephant fly! Smiles, Patti and Cap
