And Again with the Vineyard, 2018: Day 10


Yet more overcast.  I’m working on a newsletter for the Cambridge Youth Hockey Association and Bill thinks it would benefit from a light touch – you know, joke of the month, pump-up song list, that sort of thing.  In the process of googling hockey jokes, a new family joketime is born, reminiscent of past ones with Funcle Andy.  This is the joke that started it.
Q:  How did the cowboy get to the hockey game?
A:  He rode his Zam-pony.

And we’re off.
How did the con man get to the hockey game?  His Flim-flam-boni.  (Alt:  his Scam-boni.)
How did Clark Gable get to the hockey game?  His I-don’t-give-a-damn-boni.
How did George Michael get to the hockey game?  His WHAM-boni.
How did the college student get to the hockey game?  A Cram-boni.
How do the Larsens get to hockey games?  Their Clam-boni.
How did the sweet potato get to the hockey game?  A Yam-boni.
How did the Scotsman get to the hockey game?  His Wee-dram-boni.
How did Mary get to the hockey game?  Her Little-lamb-oni.
How did the fugitive get to the hockey game?  On-the-lam-boni.
How did the Flintstones get to the hockey game?  The Bam-bam-boni.
How did Michael Jordan get to the hockey game?  The Space-Jam-boni.
How did the refined southern gentleman get to the hockey game?  The thank-you-ma’am-boni.
How did David Bowie get to the hockey game?  On his Glam-boni.  (Alt:  his Wham-Bam-Thank-You-Ma’am-boni, he has two of course.)
How did Gomer Pyle get to the hockey game?  On his Sha-ZAM-boni.
How did Lydia Gilman Dearborn Cate get to the hockey game?  On the family Effingham-boni.
How did Ilsa Lund Laszlo get to the hockey game?  The Play-it, Sam-boni.
How did Lin-Manuel Miranda get to the hockey game?  He rode the A.Ham-boni.

And all of this fun was even before we played mini-golf with various Petersens and Almarios and Tokeshis and had cod and clams and corn for dinner.[1] 




[1] Yeah, I’m on a serious clam kick this trip.  Bring on the bivalves!
