DAY 292 --- Memory Does Not Work Too Well These Days, Pegleg.

I am sure you all have heard the joke concerned the lady with one leg, or guy with one leg.  Remember the punch line which says, Pegleg, Pegleg.  I wish I could remember the joke and not just the punch line, but there is a joke about pegleg.  Do you remember it?

Well the joke is very innocent but may cause one to laugh.  It must not have been that great a joke or I would remember it.  However everyone around me disagrees with that cause I can't remember any jokes, just portions of them which means I cannot tell anyone a joke without destroying it.

We have this tradition in our family to quote "Movie Quotes" and then ask the others in the room, 'What movie?"  My whole family will tell you I ALWAYS quote them wrong.  I don't ever quote them exactly as they should be quoted, thus whenever I am the originator of the Movie Quote, rather than say this is a movie quote, I have to say (my kids dictated this)  Movie Moments.  Then everyone knows that I can't remember the exact quote and thus it is just a movie moment that is never totally correct.

Well getting back to my lack of memory, you would be pleased to know that the joke I cannot remember had the punch line of Pegleg.  Well, Sam and I go to the temple usually every Tuesday, and I just was going through my names and I found this card for a dearly departed person, male personage named, and I kid you not, and it is not a movie moment, it is really his name, "Pegleg Scofield." 

Who would name their kid Pegleg?  He was born in Massachusetts in 1779.  Really.  I will face this brother's wrath one day in making light of his name, I am sure, but it did give me a bit of a laugh.  Pegleg Scofield. Sorry Pegleg.
