Uno, dos…….

Uno, dos…….
As in two. Twice. Twice is nice.

I
“We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” Epictetus

2. Even. 2 is the first prime number.

2 fingers, one hand, Peace. 2 fingers, two hands, uh oh. One hand, two fingers at ballgame, shop teacher ordering 4 beers. Roman numeral II.

2, Noah’s Ark. Baseball 2, the catcher. Or double. Or double play. Second string.

Two. The first time you stop labeling a little’n in terms of months. Two, to tango. Two, one jump off teeter totter, ouch. 2, battery, pitcher/catcher. Yin and yang. I dunno why he made it his Third Law, but the Newton feller “For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction”, such as, a tackle at top speed on the kickoff… Affair, divorce. You know what, child. Second chance. Just a second! Two peas in a pod. One two, buyckle my shoe. Two left feet. Two birds with one stone. Two step. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.

Victor, you’ve already told this one. Don’t care (my equal and opposite reaction). August 27th, 1957. Philadelphia Phillie’s Richie Ashburn hits foul into the stands. Shatters a ladie’s nose. Game stopped. Medical attention given. On stretcher, up the stairs, just as game restarted. Ashburn hits foul into the stands, hits same lady on the knee. Yep, twice. Double your “pleasure”.

Pepsi or coke? Coffee or tea? Early bird or night owl? Relish this one, ketchup or mustard? Sausage or bacon? Seconds? Smoking or non-smoking? “Ready, aim, fire” or “Ready, fire, aim?” Goody two shoes. Two can play this game.

A good buddy and his wife, in to see the sonogram.. Docs says “now here’s the arms, hands, legs, heart, head……. and over here is the other one.” He fainted.

Second child born, “What about me?” “Why first borns rule the world and last borns want to change it.” I love/loved my granddaughter so much, and DIL was preggo. Thought to myself “There NO WAY I’m going to love this second one like I do her.” Ya do. Ya just do.

Two turtle doves. Bert and Ernie. Tom and Jerry. Batman and Robin. Scooby Doo and Shaggy. Peanut butter and jelly. R2D2 and C-3po. Chip and Dale. Mickey and Minnie. Salt and pepper. Simon and Garfunkel. Lucy and Ethel. Thelma and Louise. Just like Romeo and Juliet. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Beavis and Butt-head. Patrick and Spongebob. Siskel, Ebert, two thumbs up.

A stupid blog about ‘two, to, too’ (for every action there and egual…. see how easily entertained you are?_

You gotta go #1 or #2? Charlie, Two and a Half… Two time. Two-a-days. Two faced. Two bit. Two all beef… Buy one, get one free. Just the two of us.. Marvin says “It takes two.”
You two. You too? Terrible twos.

Kindergarten, “How proud we are of you!” First grade “You’re a BIG boy/girl now!” Second grade, no big thrill. I’d better go. I’m doing this on a word document, and I just started the second page. Time TO go.

WAIT!!!!! What, what? (That’s what twice.) Howinthehell do you get these stupid ideas for blogs?
It’s Ben Tetzlaff’s fault. Who? (Who who would be an owl). Tetzlaff is a Pennsylvania HS golfer. I was driving to work, they told the story.. He sunk (hole in one) hole #2, 104 yards with a gap wedge. Same round, the 140-yard sixth hole, 9 iron. Yep, two. Two holes in one. That. That’s when I thought “go write a stupid blog about two. Fore? No, two.

On second thought, mebbe I shoulda got a second opinion. Love love, Victurd Victurd.
