Some of the things that have been going on in my mind lately…….
1. I ate Mexican food two days ago, then I ate Chinese food the following day…….When you visit a foreign country, do they have “American Food” restaurants???? What do they serve there??
2. I have a Rottweiler in my back yard that mainly eats and sleeps. He never gets any exercise to speak of. Why doesn’t he get side handles like me when I sit around and be lazy???
3. When a duck gets in the water, oil on his feathers keeps the water from “soaking” him. Why don’t they use that oil on all clothing??
4. If God made man in “His image”, then whose image did he use for Eve?
5. In the “electronic age” that we live in today, no matter where I am in the world, my checking account is instantly subtracted when I make a purchase with my debit card. Why then, does it take until the following day for my deposits to show up when I physically make them at the bank??
6. Why is it that everyone eats salad to lose weight? All cows eat is grass, so shouldn’t they be skinny?
7. Where do goldfish live in the wild??? (Besides the ponds at the Chinese restaurant.)
8. Why are there boxes labeled “Breakfast Cereals”? Are there “Dinner Cereals” or “Supper Cereals”?
9. Why is it illegal for me to write checks when I have no money in the bank, but the government stays “in the red” and no one is held accountable??
10. Why is it that we say sharks “attack”, but when man kills, its called hunting? You never hear someone say that they went “squirrel attacking”.

Forty Years
Well, a few more weeks and I will reach the big 4-0. Yep, despite all the drama, hell raising, partying, and reckless acts, it appears the big guy didn’t want to take me out early after all. I wouldn’t consider myself a “wise-old man”, but I have managed to retain a few important lessons learned. Here’s a few to wet your whistle:
1. Listen to your elders. (They’re called “wise old men” for a reason)
2. A Lego block can completely clog a bathroom drain. Even though it is square, it somehow magically seals the pipe once it is inserted.
3. When you misbehaved and your parents said “I can’t wait till you have children”, they meant it. Every single word. They take great joy in watching you struggle to keep control as your two year old grabs every knick knack off of your aunt’s shelves.
4. All men are NOT created equal. There are short ones, fat ones, fast ones, tall ones, etc. You get the point. As different as we are physically, we are even more different psychologically. The sooner you accept this, the easier life will be for you.
5. Never loan money to anyone with the intention of getting it back. Most of the time you won’t get it back, so don’t loan people money that is set aside for bills.
6. If your two best friends are smarter, better looking, and skinnier than you; you are the fat, dumb klutz they keep around to make themselves feel better.
7. No matter how hard you fight it, eventually you will look, talk, and act like your parents.
8. No One is capable of truly keeping a secret. If it’s worth keeping, they will tell someone else who in turn, will tell another. Hold it inside until you explode. It will be less painful in the end.
9. You can talk until you are blue in the face, and still, no one will fess up to putting the empty milk container back in the ice box. If you gripe about it, you will just be labeled as a “grouch”.
10. Tasting new foods will not kill you. You will even begin to like foods that you once hated.
11. When an appliance goes out, it will cost $100.00 more to replace it than you have saved. This also applies to car repairs.
12. Flat tires never happen at a convenient time. It WILL be raining, hot, and far away from any help. If you have a spare, it too will be flat. (This rule applies to cell phones also. The battery will only go dead if you are not near a charger and are on an important call.)
13. Plumbers make more money per hour than the President of the United States. Don’t fight it, just pay the man.
14. The only “cure-all” for a hangover is NOT to drink in the first place. Period. Trust me, I’ve tried all of them.
15. You can wash mud off of your shoes in a few minutes, but dog shit stays on there for three days.
16. Women never forget and men seldom remember. This goes for anniversaries, birthdays, holidays, etc,,,
17. Your alarm clock will only fail on the day your boss shows up early.
18. When you are at a friend’s house, always check for toilet paper BEFORE you need it.
19. When someone asks “How’s your day going”, they really don’t want the truth. This also applies to “do these jeans make me look fat?”
20. If you are the first person to purchase “the next big thing”, then you are also the first person to realize you have been scammed.

Eye see it now.
During my latest hitch of nightshifts, an all too familiar scenario arose involving an employee and a pair of scissors. The employee was carelessly waiving around the scissors, compelling someone to shout “Be careful with those things or you will put someone’s eye out!” This statement got my wheels turning, as I have never agreed with, nor understood, the word usage.
Let’s take a moment to examine this saying, as it is commonly misspoken. “You could put someone’s eye out.” We’ve all heard it a million times as a youth, and probably spoke it even more as an adult. But, isn’t this really an oxymoronic saying? You don’t really “put” eyes out, you “pull” eyes out in much the same way that you do teeth or the way you “pull” a vehicle from a ditch. If you are jabbed in the eye with a pair of scissors, wouldn’t that “push” your eye in, not “out”?
All my life I have used sharp pointed objects to pierce with instead of “pull”. If you really think it through, it would be virtually impossible to pull someone’s eye out with a “poking” motion. I would be more implied to use the phrase of putting someone’s eye out if I saw them with a spoon. Now there is an object that could easily get an eye out, much in the same fashion that you would use an ice cream scoop. Soldiers have used spears and swords to impale people on the battlefield for centuries. These weapons were not meant to “pull” parts from a body, but instead to “push”, or penetrate the victim.
The whole idea of using the word “put” instead of “pull” is confusing to me. Why don’t you ever hear parents screaming at a child who is holding a spoon? A spoon would be a much more efficient device to remove someone’s eye, as a sharp, pointed object would require a bit of prying and such to remove the organ.
I propose that we change our saying to reflect the physics involve with the word “put” and “in”. It should go something like this; “Hey, (insert offender’s name here), be careful with that stick or you could “push” someone’s eye “in”! Or you could say; “Hey (once again the offender’s name here), slowdown with that spoon or you could scoop someone’s eye out!” Let’s say what we mean and mean what we say.

Dear Abby
As Americans, we all too often tend to stereotype people. As soon as someone sees spinners on a car, they tend to think “gangster-want-to-be” instead of “honor student”. We see someone on a movie with thick taped glasses and instantly assume he is a “nerd”. Others will look at race and color to get their predetermined ideas of how someone should act. I am just as guilty as the next guy for stereotyping people and not giving them the benefit of interaction to show their “true self.” I do not know what the proper answer is to this problem but I do have my own thoughts about the whole thing. As a man of limited intellect who is trying to keep it simple, I say this; “If you don’t want the public to judge you on your appearance, then let your actions shine as your judgment.”
I was reading Dear Abby today and was floored when I read the following article:
DEAR ABBY: My husband and I married four years ago. My oldest daughter dates my husband's brother and they're expecting a baby together, although they are not married.
Can you please tell me what this child should call me, my husband and our other children? We're confused about it and don't want the child to be confused about who's who. Any help you can offer on this will be greatly appreciated. -- TAMI IN PENNSYLVANIA
DEAR TAMI: You are the baby's biological grandmother, and your husband is the baby's biological uncle and step-grandfather. Your children are going to be aunts or uncles. Congratulations to all of you.
Well, for starters, I can’t believe that Abby, who is usually an adviser with strong morals, didn’t lay into the woman for the OBVIOUS; YOUR DAUGHTER IS HAVING A BABY WITH YOUR BROTHER-IN-LAW!!!!! What the hell people?? I immediately, as wrong as it may seem, envisioned two trailers side by side in a rural Alabama trailer park with both women on food stamps waiting for their government checks. Am I the only one here to stereotype this family? For the rest of you reading who aren’t sure whether this is really an issue, listen closely; This is NOT acceptable behavior by the mother, step-father, brother-in-law, or the daughter. We are not living in a time where God has asked us to replenish the Earth. Some things and people are off-limits. There are boundaries that should never be broken down and rules to follow that do not need to be changed!
What do you think this child is going to endure during school? How hard do you think dating will be for this child? Peer pressure is already enormous and this could easily push a child to his/her breaking point.
For some unknown reason, Abby has decided to spare this woman from any further guilt. So I have prepared the proper response.
Dear Tami: It appears that sadly your daughter’s baby will not have a mother, grandmother, grandfather or father, as those are titles reserved for people with common sense, people that give a damn about what their children and other family members are doing. Because of your failure to institute any morals into your daughter, this child will more than likely live with more shame than that of a “bastard child” referred to in the Bible. Congratulations on screwing up your family! I hope that you will seek counseling for the other children involved, as they appear to be the only innocent ones in this One-Family-Circus. Maybe you will be lucky and the state will step in and remove your other children so they will have the chance to live a normal life instead of the confusing, shameful, environment that you have provided. The only other option I see for your family is to move to the Deep South where some small towns condone and accept these horrendous acts as “normal”.

Five Feet Under
A friend and I were recently discussing what the “perfect” occupation would be for a man’s potential mate. After much deliberation, I believe that dating a mortician would have to rank near the top of the charts. Here are a few reasons why.
1. Your family will never have to pay someone to do their make-up on special occasions. Who could be better suited to “make-up” the family women before those school dances and family photos? This is, after all, a person who is trained to make even the dead look “alive”.
2. I’m not sure exactly how they prepare a body, as I have never been back there to see, but I’m sure it can’t be that different from taxidermy. This being said, if you are a hunter or fisherman, you have a lifetime supply of “freebies” to get your outdoor trophies mounted. If taxidermy isn’t in the realm of her expertise, at least she can make your trophy deer look “as peaceful as if it was sleeping” next to the fireplace.
3. There really is nothing you can do that will “gross out” your mortician-mate. If the bathroom stinks….so what? It isn’t like she doesn’t smell the odor of death throughout the day. I’m pretty sure that you could even forget to flush and she wouldn’t give it a second thought. ( I hear that you soil yourself when you die)
4. Look at the money your family could save during their “time of loss.” Funerals are very expensive, and I can’t think of a better time to get a “brother-in-law” deal.
5. How about those minor emergency room bills you will save on? Having your very own “master of the needle and thread” around for those minor cuts and scrapes, can really help. You can keep that extra money in your pocket book, instead of giving it to overpriced hospitals.
6. When you call her at work, you won’t have to deal with all of the drama of her holding an office job. That’s right; those corpses don’t care if she gets back from lunch a few minutes late. There are no workers to interrupt her while she is on the phone with you. You don’t get the background noise of an office full of women while you are talking on the phone to her. Nothing but peace and quiet.
7. She can help you prepare the bar-b-q pit for the Labor Day festivities. She is after all, trained to cremate people. That’s about as hot a fire as you’ll ever need for a few steaks and chicken.
8. And finally, size won’t matter. I mean, at this job, you will have seen all types of people and probably realize that only models and playboys have six pack abs. It’s just not normal for people to have 2% body fat.
I definitely see all of these as plusses and can’t even think of one single minus. Maybe they are right when the say that “all the good ones are taken.” Little did I know that “the good ones” were stuffing people for a living.

?? 1904 ??
I was recently e-mailed a list of “you won’t believe this” facts about the year 1904 for my amusement. It appeared to be a “chain-mail”, so I am sure some of you already received it. I read over the facts and found many to be mind-boggling at first. Then as I read on, I came to realize something that our parents and grandparents have been telling us for years. “We have it made in today’s world.” I won’t go into the whole email, but a few of the facts that surprised me were;
1. Average life expectancy was 47 years old
(The current expectancy is almost 67 years)
Through modern medicine we have reaped the benefits of extended life and are around to enjoy the “fruits” of our labor. Our great-grandparents weren’t around long enough to have SSI benefits. They never had a “light at the end of the tunnel” that we take for granted. They instead worked their ENTIRE life. How lucky are we that we get to watch our children AND grandchildren grow and mature. It seems that we all too often take little things like this for granted
2. The average worker made between $200 and $400 dollars a year
(The average yearly household income in 2000 was $59,316)
3. Eggs were fourteen cents a dozen
(Eggs are approximately 1.34 a dozen)
As far as annual earnings go, a salary of $59,316 is approximately 148 times higher than the $400 income of 1904. If we use that same formula for the price of eggs during 1904, the cost now should be $20.72. Sounds crazy? Maybe you take the technology that allows egg prices to stay low for granted. I know that inflation seems out of control, but salaries have more than kept up with the cost of MANY common items. This is by no means meant to “validate” inflation, but rather meant as an eye-opener to how much worse our financial strains could be.
4. Only 6% of all Americans had a High School Diploma
(85% now have a High School Education)
How many of us ridicule others that have trouble reading or writing? This is not something that is to be taken for granted. Our schools are constantly being demeaned for their poor teaching, but we now have 79% more people being educated at “some” level of competency. Thanks again to technology; we are allowed the privilege to work at jobs that are not as physically demanding as our forefathers. We can read for ourselves and make informed, educated decisions about our daily lives. What a powerful and awesome thing to take for granted; the ability to read.
5. Canada passed a law that prohibited poor people from entering their country for ANY reason
(Can you imagine our country passing a law of this magnitude?).
What the hell is up with Canada passing laws stopping the poor from entering? They don't seem to mind the protection of living next to The Most Powerful Country on the planet. I have, as many of my friends know, a total lack of respect for Canada in general. The only reason I don’t have them at the top of my “Free Nation Most Hated List” is because France is still around. I think they would turn off the lights and shut the whole country down if it weren’t for the fact they make Crown Royal Whiskey. The only reason some fourth rate country like Somalia doesn’t invade them is because we are next door. Because of my distaste for this country, and 99% of all interaction I have had with the citizens I have had the misfortune of meeting, I am going to chock this “fact’ up as “internet folklore”; as I have not been able to validate it as of yet. I will search to the ends of Al Gore’s internet to seek a validation for this statement and be back with a heavy handed blog for those undeserving, yellow-bellied, French speaking Canucks.

Celebrity Reality
As I read about the turmoil and circus-like environment surrounding Tiger Woods this week, I had to ask myself; “What planet is this guy living on? For that matter, what planet are any of these tabloid-filling celebrities living on?” Then it hit me, these people were not raised the same way as you and I. We need to give them the benefit of the doubt that they don’t know right from wrong as the rest of “normality” has been taught. They see the world with no consequences, a world that bends to their needs and wants, a world far from our reality. With this in mind, I felt compelled to offer my experiences in life, good and bad, to our celebrity-elite. The “baker’s dozen” guest list is as follows;
1. David Hasselhoff
2. Lindsey Lohan
3. Mel Gibson
4. Mike Tyson
5. Tiger Woods
6. Joaquin Phoenix
7. Robert Downey Jr.
8. Amy Winehouse
9. John Daily
10. Gary Busey
11. Brittany Spears
12. Latoya Jackson
13. Joe Jackson
I composed the following letter to send out to those I felt could best use my help.
Dear (insert troubled celebs name here)
Due to your recent shortcomings in the thought process of daily life, I would like to take a moment of your time and offer my services. I, as well as most of America, can see that you need assistance in making day to day, trivial decisions. I am not talking about giving you the kind of help that an agent offers, but more on the lines of a “life coach.” Someone to “state the obvious to you" as you clearly do not have the people surrounding you that are capable of performing this task. Please do not take this as an insult; it is more of a “constructive criticism”. I feel that you have been cheated and deprived by your managing staff of someone to assist you in your life as they watch it spiral out of control. Certainly you must agree that your “rational” thought process has been skewed and needs to be re-aligned with the normality that we all search for. All great men had someone to look to for guidance. No man is an island. I am not going to give you the guidance that your friends have as that is biased at best. I will give you what you lack; a steady, true, moral compass to steer you in the right direction of life. Men of your status have little or no interaction with “middle class America”, so they sometimes do not know what is acceptable and inadvertently make poor decisions. I am willing to be your “life coach” and help you through your troubles and lack of decision making skills. I am sure that you do not want to swim in your undoings and I believe that you can right your wrongs. Remember the saying that we must learn from our past or we are destined to repeat it. Feel free to contact me as I will be eagerly awaiting the opportunity to guide you to a realistic, normal life.
I think I’ll start at the top of my list of candidates tonight. I’m sure I can’t screw their lives up anymore than they already have.

I composed the following letter to send out to those I felt could best use my help.
Dear (insert troubled celebs name here)
Due to your recent shortcomings in the thought process of daily life, I would like to take a moment of your time and offer my services. I, as well as most of America, can see that you need assistance in making day to day, trivial decisions. I am not talking about giving you the kind of help that an agent offers, but more on the lines of a “life coach.” Someone to “state the obvious to you" as you clearly do not have the people surrounding you that are capable of performing this task. Please do not take this as an insult; it is more of a “constructive criticism”. I feel that you have been cheated and deprived by your managing staff of someone to assist you in your life as they watch it spiral out of control. Certainly you must agree that your “rational” thought process has been skewed and needs to be re-aligned with the normality that we all search for. All great men had someone to look to for guidance.
