"About vacations" joke
Last year Mrs JimJr and I took separate vacations. I cleaned out the garage, while she straightened up the basement.
Mrs JimJr is something to take on vacation anyway. I swear!!! That woman is descended from Noah. She takes two of everything.
Last time we went down to Hilton Head in South Carolina, we got lucky and made real good time. The main highway was open while the detour was being repaired.
I once worked with a very attractive single girl who loved to go on vacation. Each year when Rene returned, she'd give ya a beau-by-beau account of her two weeks.
Italy was fantastic. Rome took my breath away. Venice left me speechless. And then there was Florence... she got me for over $500 in Traveler's Checks.
Mrs JimJr seems to feel one should get their money's worth on vacation. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to frolic every minute or not. But once when I was sitting in a beach chair on the sand, she came out of the surf and said, "This is costing us $300 a day - and you sit there reading a book !"
As a vacation for the parents more than the kids, some people send their kids to camp. Imagine how frantic one Mother became when she received a post card with: "Dear Mom, I told you if you made me go to camp something terrible would happen. Well, it did. Love, Bonnie."
