June 30 (UPI) -- Spin City, Back to the
Future and Family
Ties icon Michael J.
Fox performed with rock band Coldplay at Britain's Glastonbury festival on Saturday.
Fox, 63, played guitar on the songs "Humankind" and "Fix You" while sitting in a wheelchair at the end of the show.
The band's lead
singer Chris
Martin described Fox as "legendary" and "someone who just totally rocks."
Martin squatted down next to Fox while he sang.
The moment was wit- nessed live by about 100,000 fans.
Fox has been mostly retired from acting as
his Parkinson's disease, with which he was diag- nosed in 1991, has wors- ened.
A priest and a nun are caught in a blizzard.
They find a deserted cabin and take shelter.
They find a sleep- ing bag, a bed, and a pile of blan- kets.
The priest, being a gentleman, offers the nun the bed and takes the sleeping bag for himself.
As they get tucked in for the night the nun calls out, “Father, Father I’m cold!”
So the priest gets up and puts another blanket on the nun. “Is that better Sister?” he asks.
“Yes Father, much better,” she replies.
So he gets back in his sleeping bag and starts to nod off when she again calls out with, “Father I’m still cold!”
So once again the priest gets up and puts another blanket on her, ensuring she is tucked into the bed well. “Is that better Sister?” he asks.
“Oh yes Father, that’s much bet- ter,” she says.
So the priest gets himself back into
the sleeping bag and this time is just starting to dream when he wakes up to her call of, “Father, Father I’m just so cold!”
The priest thinks long about this and finally says, “Sister, we are in the middle of nowhere in a bliz- zard. No one but you, myself, and the lord himself will ever know what happens here this night. How about, just for this night, we act as though we were married?”
The nun thinks on this for a minute, she can’t help but admit to herself she’s been curi- ous, and finally answers with a tentative, “OK Father, just for tonight, we will act as though we are married.”
So the Father replies,
“Get up and get your own damned blanket ya cow!” and rolls over to fall asleep.
A man traveling by train asks the ticket collector what time the train stops at Victoria.
“Sir, we don’t stop at Victoria.”
“But I have to get off there!”
“Well, there might be one thing I can do. I might be able to get the engineer to slow down the train a little. Then I can dangle you out the door and lower you onto the platform.”
“Will that work?” “It’s worth a try.”
As they approached the platform, the train is slowing from 50 MPH.
The collector hangs the man in mid-air out the door.
The man starts running in mid-air.
“Run faster! Faster!” He low- ers the man and the man’s feet touch the plat- form. His shoes start to smoke! His heel comes off! He’s running at 30 MPH.
He’s made it! He starts to slow down! The other passengers stare in amazement.
As the last car goes by, a hand grabs the man by the shirt collar and lifts the man right back into the train! As he’s helped back on the train the gent who picked him up says, “Man you’re lucky I was here to help! This train doesn’t even STOP in Victoria!”
