I love looney people.
 
The kids and I went to the zoo on Sunday. 
 
As we approached the kangaroo exhibit I noticed a woman standing there doing the oddest thing.
 
She was standing there vibrating her finger between her lips as she emitted a high pitched sound out of her mouth while blowing raspberries with her lips.
 
WHAT THE HELL?!
 
This had fraggle fun written all over it...I just HAD to get to the bottom of this...
 
The kids and I sidled up next to her, trying not to laugh as she continued doing this weird noise/raspberrry thing at the kangaroos.
 
After a few minutes she turned to me and said: "I forgot my harmonica"
 
(well now that just clears everything up)
 
After a few more minutes of her loud raspberries she turned to me again and said:
 
"Last time I was here there was a little boy with a harmonica and that seemed to interest the kangaroos but today they are all sleeping and I forgot to bring a harmonica so I'm trying to make a harmonica noise with my mouth"
 
Are you serious? Harmonica? Kangaroos? Where's the hidden camera here?!
 
I could NOT let an opportunity like that pass me up so I got out my camera and pretended to be taking pics of the sleeping roos as I secretly filmed the looney lady. 
 
Can't pay for humor like that ;)
 
BTW...TRAV? If you're reading this? She's "your team" !!!!

    Okay, now that is something I'd have loved to have seen too!  Are you like a magnet for weird people? (like I need to ask!)
  • mixednuts said on Oct 01, 2009....
    Someone told me it's all happinin at the zoo. I do believe it. I do believe it's true!

    You do seem to have a knack for ferreting out weirdness.  I wish I would run across some weirdos too.  The only one I see is the one I see in the mirror.  :p
  • Hegemone said on Oct 01, 2009....
    Oh yeah, that definitely had Fraggles written all over it.  Lmao, was this lady serious!?  You're right, you just can't pay for that kind of hilarity ... lucky you catching it on film.  How does this stuff find you?  Lol. 
  • mixednuts said on Oct 01, 2009....
    This is a female thing .......huh?
  • fragglesrock said on Oct 01, 2009....

    uni - I'm not a magnet for weird people, quite the opposite, I seek THEM ;)

    mixed - Is which part a female thing? Calling kangaroos with raspberries? lol! I sure hope not!

    Mimi - "I LOVE IT!!!" ***kicking up leg*** The weirdos that is!  Funny thing, I have one of them in my mirror too! ;)

    Hegs - The lady was absolutely serious and very intent on her mission.  She was probably in her late 50's.  Her poor husband just stood over off to the side and watched her...poor guy..lol!

      You mean that's not a common thing to do ? 

       I use to play a mighty fine juice harp in church but when the lady next to me started playing the xylophone I stopped.
        I just thought I'd mention it ... being it's a Thursday night and all :o) .

    i had to read it three times before i understood that it was a WOMAN standing there.....i thought it was the kangaroo making the weird noise!!!

    i thought it was a dream or a hallucination or something.
  • twentysomeone said on Oct 01, 2009....
    that's like 'out of a movie' weird- i can picture the trying to be discreet sideways glances and then she explains it like it's clearly obvious haha gotta love those "unique" moments in life!
  • wishyouwerehere said on Oct 01, 2009....
    There's just no way I would have been able to keep a straight face - and anyway, everyone knows you need a kazoo not a harmonica ;)
  • abbonzai said on Oct 01, 2009....
    It's look like a movie on my thought ...
  • RollingC said on Oct 01, 2009....
    Maybe she's like the  " Horse whisperer? ".  Hmmmm...Kangaroo whisperer.  You got to admit that there sure are some interesting people out there.

  • wishyouwerehere said on Oct 01, 2009....
    LMAO - kangaroo whisperer.  Nice.
  • hotaka said on Oct 01, 2009....
    Oh, I know all about that. One day I was letting this big loud farts out in the music room. When someone asked me what I was doing I said I was tuning up and I had forgotten my tuba.

    Your scene at the zoo is just priceless, frags.
  • Mr.Strange said on Oct 02, 2009....
    people call harmonicas, a Jews Harp?

    I bring my bongos and a harmonica most places I go these days.

    Its part of my adventure kit.

  • fragglesrock said on Oct 02, 2009....

    cman - I really don't know what a juice harp is and I'm almost afraid to ask! lol!

    Fallyn - LOL! I do have some weird dreams and hallucinations at times but I have the video to prove that this really happened...I wish it HAD been a kangaroo making the noise, I'd make some money off the video :)

    twenty - "unique moments" lol! I like that :)  All of my friends will tell you that I ALWAYS end up in "could be in a movie" moments!!! It does keep life interesting ;)

    wishy - A KAZOO?! "I LOVE IT!!!" ***kicking leg up!!!***

    abb - It WAS like a scene out of a movie! :)

    RC - The interesting people keep life entertaining ;)  "Kangaroo whisperer?" ROFLMAO!

    hot - Tuba farts. I heart you.

    Mr. Strange - What a fabulous idea "adventure kit" !!! I think I need to steal your idea and make a kit of my own to keep on hand! Now you got my mind whirring :) btw...I've never heard it called a jews harp, I don't know where that tag came from.

    qp - I LOVE people like this :)  If I get time I'll try and upload and post the video!

    mixed - I have nothing. lol!

    don't you know about Skippy the Bush Kangaroo??? my god woman where have you been sleeping! LOL
     
    Not sure, but I'd say she was a brick short of a load.
  • hotaka said on Oct 02, 2009....

    hot - Think you could pull off a whole scale?
