Odd-sounding (at least to me)

GAZINTA

I think it was Jimmy Durante who replied when someone asked him what he liked about school:

"I liked gazinta best,"

"What's gazinta?"

"Five gazinta twenty-five 5 times,  four gazinta sixteen four times."

EECHUTHA

This is "each other" the way that us Americans say it.

EECOODEEYA!

This was something we fourth grade kids yelled out when we found out about something we didn't know about before.

I haven't got the faintest idea what it means.  It's probably a corruption of a Portuguese phrase.

Although many years have past since I was in fourth grade, I still find myself mumbling "eecoodeeya" from time to time. Perhaps one of my New Bedford friends could let me know its origin and what it means.

Quotations Re: Mars and Venus

These were listed in The Funny Times for July/August of this year.

Gloria Steinem

"A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle."

Dorothy Parker

"I require only three things of a man;  he must be handsome, ruthless and stupid."

Baltimore's Own H.L. Mencken

"On one issue, at least, men and women agree; they both distrust women."

"If a man and a woman, entering a room together, close the door behind them, the man will come out sadder and the woman wiser."

Come on, Henry, what do you mean?

DUI - Bombed Bambi

The Funny Times Weird News Section reported on a Deer Under The Influence problem in France. An animal rescue group says the following:

"... at this time of year, deer gorge on Spring flowers that are loaded with sugar, which ferments in their stomachs and makes them 'drunk.' For example, they may become disoriented and sometimes panicked, wandering into dangerous situations."
