I say Donkeys Years as well Lyn.  It's a saying thats Donkeys Years old, isn't it.

I wonder where the saying came from, maybe someone can enlighten me.

Ron---You don't recall the Barron Knights? Surely you jest, for only a few posts ago, you made reference to an old Russian Proverb donkey's years old who wisdom informs us---

"He who receives too much praise grows donkey's ears".

Lyn--I think Ron was earlier not refering to initials, rather his newly-named group he was going to do an impression of.

Diane--glad you liked my squirrel showing his photographic skills which Ron thought quite perposterous, so I sent him on his way. He's now taken up water skiing instead so he can get his photo taken more often, as he prefers being a celebrity rather than talking photos of them. Clearly, the architect of his skills has now given him a foundation to build upon.

Sue G-R, you worked it out it didn't you? So for Lyn and Karen I will explain. If you are from Wales, the language beautiful as it is, allows us English to hear the word ears as 'yurs, or years' hence my little funny that was wasted it seems (apart from Sue G-R) so I referred to Donkey Years, Yurs, or years because they can't quite pronounce it as we might, but it has a double meaning for us hasn't it? Donkeys Years.....a long time ago, or Donkeys Years meaning Donkeys EARS, oh forget it!

Paul, you and your clever snippets again.....you should see how my EARS are growing! And me jest? Now about that squirrel. >>>He's now taken up water skiing instead so he can get his photo taken more often, as he prefers being a celebrity.

I love to see the look on his face as the water smashed into his nuts, on the other hand have you ever seen a squirrel eating whilst water skiing?
