Waking up a bit slower today, as I'm still waiting for my butler to bring me my coffee service.
Oh wait... I don't have a butler.
(grumbling) Fine, fine, I'll go make the coffee myself.
Common sense is like deodorant. The people who need it the most never use it.
One fine day
In the middle of the night
Two dead boys
Got up to fight
Back to back
They face each other
Drew their swords
And shot each other
A deaf policeman
Heard the noise
And came and killed
The two dead boys
If you don't believe
This lie is true
Just ask the blind man
For he saw it too
Question of the Day: What poem do you have committed to memory?
Heard this very muffled meowing sound coming from the bedroom, so I got up to see what was going on ... to discover one of my cats walking around with a sock in her mouth. She seemed very pleased with herself. 😂
Have you ever wondered who it was that decided that the abbreviation for "pound" should be two letters not in the word?
Yeah yeah yeah... I'm here, just running a bit behind this morning. Still chasing that coffee fix...
So there’s a film where a man’s wife and almost his entire family is brutally killed by a mass murderer and his only surviving son is left physically disabled. Then the son is kidnapped and kept in a tank while his father chases the kidnapper thousands of miles with the help of a mentally challenged woman. Finding Nemo is quite the thriller…
Question of the Day: If you had to describe your day as a traffic sign, what would it be?
According to my pediatrician, I'm fairly immature for my age.
You know how they throw the ball into the crowd after they win the game? That’s not allowed in bowling. Which I now know.
Had a sales manager try to throw me under the bus in a staff meeting today because they got bitched out by a client. Unfortunately for the sales manager, I keep all emails and was able to show clearly that I did exactly what the client wanted.
Never try to throw someone under the bus who keeps receipts. Just saying.
If it weren't for physics and law enforcement, I'd be unstoppable.
Question of the Day: If you could hire out one household chore what would it be?
The wife has "Ballroom Blitz" cranked up in the bathroom. She has excellent taste in music. 😎
Apparently eating Cheetos for breakfast is somehow wrong. Who knew?
After a relaxing holiday weekend, I’m back at work (relatively speaking). Unsure yet how I feel about this.
Still not really sure why the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles wore masks in an attempt to hide their identity.
