Blowdart

You just put your lips together and blow.

This is how CoPilot coined my memory issues I am going through: It hands you a puzzle piece without the box lid. But the piece still has color.

I wanted to make a post about a joke I half‑remembered, something about blowdarts in The African Queen. I thought there might be some.

I don’t remember either movie anymore — memory problems make whole films disappear — but somehow this little fragment floated back.

I think I stayed in California as a kid in the 65-95 time period. I was around 5 in 65 or so and my Great Aunt lived in Burbank, and it was cold in Spokane.

I was the darling of my Aunt’s friends and I don’t think this was an original joke just something I recalled a little.

Humphrey Bogart.
