This is a funny post. Some of the sayings made me laugh.

Good morning, Patty! Very funny! But what do P.A, A.D, U.P.M, and S.A.G. mean? I cannot find them in my dictionary. Those abbreviations are incomprehensible for a non English speaking person.

Gigi Ann said...

You put a smile on my face again this morning. ;)

Brenda said...

I laughed at these and myself because I don't know what the abbreviated ones were. Have a great day!

Renie Burghardt said...

I laughed, too, but don't know what the abbreviations are!

Have a good night, Patty.

Funny stuff! I didn't understand all the abbreviations but some stuff is self-explanatory! ;) These light bulb jokes always contain a little bit of truth.

(PS. Oh, I just saw the comments. Looks like I'm not the only one sractching my head with the abbreviations. Good! :)

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE ABBREVIATIONS STAND FOR EITHER. Perhaps D.P. is Director of Photography, but the others I ahve no idea. LOL
