Tahiti Edna

Edna:  Margie, you just keep your trap shut until I'm done talking.  I am in dire need of a vacation and I am on my way out of town today.  I know you're going to tell me we can't afford it, but trust me when I say this vacation is a wise investment.  Better to pay the money for a trip now than to have to pay some therapist to listen to me later when I need to complain about my bossy older sister.

So, what do you have to say for yourself?

Margie: Edna, you go right ahead. I just worry about you. You take your good sun bonnet, sunscreen, and sunglasses because your skin is already too leathery. Don't forget to take some clean bloomers just in case and take the ones with no holes. Lay off the wine coolers and Krispy Kreme doughnuts too. You know how your stomach gets when you eat junk food. Have a good time, dear.

Margie and Edna's Road trip.

Margie: Edna, I just need a vacation. You never take me anywhere.

Edna: Margie, let's jump in the Model T and high-tail it out of town. What do you say?

Margie: Oh, Edna, you mean it? Let me grab us a jug of special tea and we'll go.

1. Dinosaur World; Plant City, FL.

Edna: Look Margie, they have fossil digs! You’d better watch out or someone will try and dig you up.

Margie: Didn’t you go to high school with that T-Rex over there, Edna?

2. The National Museum of Dentistry; Baltimore, MD.

Edna: My lands, Margie, look at those choppers! However did George Washington eat with those?

Margie: Edna, you numbskull, he took them out and gummed his food to death.

Edna: Then why even have the teeth in the first place?? Oh, that poor Martha, can you imagine sitting across the dinner table from him all those years?

Margie: Lordy, no, Edna. I bet those things clacked up a fog.

3. Margie, maybe we should take a trip down Route 66. I’ve always wanted to see the Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo, Texas.

Margie: Why, Edna? Didn't you work that ranch once?

Edna: Margie, I don't know what you're talking about, but knowing you I'm sure it's something crude.

Margie: Crude? You're the one who said you wanted an oilman. Edna, I do love a ranch & all those cowboys. Is there a bunkhouse here?

Edna: Margie, just hush up and get back in the car, we're going somewhere else before they arrest you for indecency.

4. Margie, what do you think about this place? It’s in Gatlinburg, Tennessee.

Margie: I love this place, Edna. I was quite a shaker in my day you know.

Edna: Margie, I think your head got shaken at some point, the way you carry on.

5. Margie, let’s go here! It’s in Texas too, we can swing by on our way to the Cadillac Ranch.

Look how cute that lemur is! Margie, go distract the guard while I stuff him in my handbag…

Margie: I'm going, Edna. Give me time. Can I put the guard in my handbag? He's cute.

Edna: Margie, we don’t have room in the Model T for the lemur and the guard. You’d better leave him behind, we’ll get you a nice souvenir on our next trip.
