Tom's Birthday Party Guests

 

 
And lo and behold, they CAME!

The guests were asked:  "What are your two favorite times to party?"
The guests replied: "Day time and night time!"

This is one party-hearty crowd, always looking for an excuse to celebrate!  

To surprise Tom, this crowd actually zipped their mouths and were as quiet as church mice for a record-breaking ONE minute.  And this without the assistance of Sargeants-at-Arms, as needed at Da' Hawai`i Club gabfests meetings!  

After Tom finally (!) made it up the stairs, with pent-up anticipation, the crowd yelled out:  SURPRISE!!!   And yes, Doris was surprised, too.

"Tom, 70 is not so bad... 
when you consider the alternative."

 

Tom, just say, 'I'm not 70,
 I'm 17 with 53 years experience.'
 

 

Tom, according to Mark Twain,
wrinkles should merely indicate 
where smiles have been.
 

 

 

Q: What did the birthday balloon say to the pin?
A: "Hi, Buster."

 

 

Q:  How do you know when you're 70?

Tom:  You develop Mallzheimer's disease. I go to the mall and forget where I parked my car.

 

Q:  How do you know when you're 70?

Q:  How do you know when 70?

E kala mai (Excuse us) if we missed getting a picture of you.  
Maybe you were in the benjo otearai (bathroom) or flitting from table to table?
