    …Bea- cause she could…

    … It’s hard being a ghost in a bath mat factory…

    … everyone now tells ‘lime pie’ in return…

    She’s a feature on the tour, if you’ve got an afternoon to spend being fascinated and learning new things. To avoid a vast and deep and everlasting regret, bring lots of money to spend at the Bath Factory Gift Shop.

    Bea was a burly broad who didn’t take bull from anyone!

    She roams the aisles of the Froglandia Bathmat Factory , trying to scare all the employees who work the late shift. She was born an Australian but migrated to America when she was a wee one! Her mother took Bea to work everyday and she began to hate it! She was bored out of her mind. So she vowed, if she ever got out of this town, she would haunt the employees til the day they died. Her favorite expression was CRIKEY, So her haunting continues to this day….if you listen carefully, you can hear “CRIKEY” reverberate throughout the factory aisles…my advice is to run like hell to the nearest EXIT….save yourself……she’s been known to to “tie me kangaroo down, mate”…..

    Bea brings a completely different meaning to being the Girl from Down Under!

    After the multiple traumas of her childhood, her doctors thought this a fairly constructive and benign coping behavior.

    Crikey, you should ‘a seen ’im come a cropper on his nut down them new steps. Then suddenly the true struth of what he had forgotten to do came home to Robert, and he said “Oh, crikey !” Crikey, you’d look mighty fine stuck up against a wall with half a dozen bloomin’ Prussian rifles looking at yer.

    Working at the bathmat factory is harder than I thought.

    This reminds me of a spoof that a clever radio personality performed years ago: instead of Cross Training Barbie, he proposed Don Knotts in a starring role as ‘Cross Dressing Barney.’ One of his lines was, “Hey, Aunt Bea, do you sometimes feel less than fresh?”

    I know…I’m in therapy for a lot of different issues.

    To Bea or not to Bea … the question is,

    did she see her shadow …?

    The joke’s on Bea (most bathmat factory employees immigrated from New Zealand).

    Is Bea a columnist? What does she have against all the other fine columns in town?

    What’s the difference between a column and a pillar? Are they the same?

    So many fine Froglandians are employed by the Bathmat Factory and its numerous subsidiary enterprises on the stately campus with its fine classical architecture that Bea had Crikeyed herself into hoarse laryngitis by the time of the 8:00 PM shift change, and one of our ruder fellows was heard to retort, “What’s the matter? Got a frog in your throat? Ha ha!” Most of us, used to harmless, sad Bea’s habit, did not think that funny….

    Then she’d wrestle a crocodile and exclaim, “Woooah, that’s a big fella!”
