A Broadway bookie was given a parrot in lieu of cash payment. The
bird's vocabulary included choice phrases in English, French, Spanish and
German. Sensing a winner, the bookie hauled the bird off to his favorite bar.
"Speaks four languages," he said to the bartender, who snorted in disbelief. "Wanna bet this bird can speak four languages?" the bookie challenged.
Annoyed, the bartender finally agreed to a ten-dollar wager. The bookie turned to the parrot and said, "Parlez-vous Francais?" There was no response.
Nor was there any reply to the question in English, Spanish or German. The bartender picked up the bookie's sawbuck from the bar and went about his business.
On the street, the bookie glared at the bird. "You fink!" he exclaimed. "I've got ten bucks riding on you and you clam up on me. I oughta strangle you!"
"Don't be a jerk," the parrot replied. "Just think of the odds you'll get tomorrow."

Give my regards to
Broadway,
Remember me to Herald Square;
Tell all the gang at 42nd Street,
That I will soon be there.
Whisper of how I'm yearning
To mingle with the old time throng;
Give my regards to old Broadway,
And say that I'll be there e'er long.
Give my regards to Broadway,
Remember me to Herald Square;
Tell all the gang at 42nd Street,

Whisper of how I'm yearning
To mingle with the old time throng;
Give my regards to old Broadway,
And say that I'll be there e'er long.
Did you ever see two Yankees part upon a foreign shore?
When the good ship's just about to start for Old New York once more?
With tear dimmed eye, they say goodbye
They're friends, without a doubt;
When the man on the pier shouts, "Let them clear!"
As the ship strikes out.
Give my regards to Broadway!
Remember me to Herald Square!
Tell all the gang at Forty Second Street
That I will soon be there!
Whisper of how I'm yearning
To mingle with the old time throng!
Give my regards to Old Broadway
And say that I'll be there, 'ere long!

I love Broadway, there is nothing like it!
Tell me you want to go to Broadway and I say: LET’S GO!
TLW (The Little Woman) wants to go see a comedy musical
starring Tyne Daley, and I think there is nothing I would want to do but that.
Watching talent live is a wonderful gift that someone
thought up long ago and I wish I could thank him. Maybe he is a Greek or Roman,
but whoever he is, Thank you guy!
The singing, scenery, and dancing all draw me in, making me
a recipient of a wonderful time. The lights go down and my anticipation goes
up, everything in the world ceases to be as I watch the wonderful talent before
my eyes transform me from the hum drum of life to the magical world of
Broadway.
To hear a beautiful voice for the first time, to hear a
funny line or maybe a new piece of music, all exciting and new to your ears,
that is what Broadway is all about..
