Hat tip to “Ol’ Petrol Head” for today’s theme.
IKEA founder, Ingvar Kamprad, dies, age 91
The son of a farmer, Kamprad grew up in humble circumstances in southern Sweden and began his career by selling matches at age five. He founded IKEA in 1943; its name stands for “Ingvar Kamprad Elmtaryd Agunnaryd,” Elmtaryd being the name of his family farm and Agunnaryd the name of his village.

LONDON LAWYER versus GLASGOW COP
A London lawyer runs a stop sign and gets pulled over by a Glasgow copper.
He thinks that he is smarter than the cop because he is a lawyer from LONDON and is certain that he has a better education then any Jock cop.
He decides to prove this to himself and have some fun at the Glasgow cops expense!!
Glasgow cop says, “Licence and registration, please.”
London Lawyer says, “What for?”
Glasgow cop says, “Ye didnae come to a complete stop at the stop sign.”
London Lawyer says, “I slowed down, and no one was coming.”
Glasgow cop says, “Ye still didnae come to a complete stop. Licence and registration, please.”
London Lawyer says, “What’s the difference?”
Glasgow cop says, “The difference is, ye huvte to come to complete stop, that’s the law, Licence and registration, please!”
London Lawyer says, “If you can show me the legal difference between slow down and stop, I’ll give you my licence and registration; and you can give me the ticket. If not, you let me go and don’t give me the ticket.”
Glasgow cop says, “Sounds fair. Exit your vehicle, sir.”
The London Lawyer exits his vehicle.
The Glasgow cop takes out his baton and starts beating the s**t out of the lawyer and says, “Dae ye want me to stop, or just slow doon?”

I was in an IKEA onct myownself. I like the Glasgow Cop. I enjoyed the Slang comparison. LOL Seeing the lawn mower and wagon I thought of the George Jones story of driving his mower to the bar after losing his license. I also agree with the comparison.
Thanks for the Friday laughs. Is it Friday already? Time flies when you are OLD..
Be good out there on the Last coast.

To be able to “put this together,” you must have had some experience. I may not assemble those clever items as well as some, but I do know all the words, of which, many are hyphenated and must be spoken at proper pitch and decibel. While in the Military I became fluent in three languages….Profane,Foul, and Abusive which go well during assembly of these products.
Thanks for keeping our humor ailve, Bud

Yes, Bud! Those 3 languages you learned in the Military are most useful when putting together furniture from IKEA!
