To brighten up this shortest day, a very old (children’s) joke that I received yesterday for the umpteenth time, and I always have to chuckle a bit about it.

Exactly thirty winter solstices ago, I married my love 
Google tells me that pearls are the appropriate gift.
Unfortunately, I’ve cast all mine before my grunting guitar buddies, so shall have to revert back to the woes of wooing again… 
Wish me luck

Hi Brian , 
Okay…this one comes with a big wink and a little bit of a bad burrrp is allowed if someone feels it coming
stupid stupid stupid 
Casting/throwing pearls before swine 
Do you really need the luck…nooooo …just put on your piteous (sweet sad) face and you’re forgiven 
Have fun together and have a great time,
x2 Rogier and Hermine
Oh Brian you’re just an apprentice. My wife and I celebrate 46 years next April.
Congratulations, a lovely pearl necklace will be the perfect gift. We as your guitar buddies are perfectly happy having your obscure but artistic performances cast before us.
Oh wow Gordon @sairfingers …that makes me very happy to read 
on this early, wet, dark Sunday morning …
Brian @brianlarsen 
To see if I missed anything I threw this last part into my Google translation English/Dutch…And THIS came up
so we will have to return to the misery of making love again
And so my Sunday begins before my first tea
Greetings my dear people

Google is close, but no cigar 
Wooing is typically the work you have to ‘invest’ prior to ‘divesting’

Ha ha, I figured that out, but from now on it has a new meaning
And in this last last sentence from you Wooing is translated to “pursue”

That sounds about right, Rogier, just a really specific pursuit
