You know things are bad when you can't even trust funeral homes anymore!

THIS ONE WILL LEAVE YOU SHAKING YOUR HEAD! Well, gang, I came across yet another article the other day that simply left me speechless. It’s pretty self-explanatory. I’ll let you ponder it a bit!

A bit of hilarity for me during an English Premiere soccer match . . .

REMEMBER: ‘FAN’ IS SHORT FOR FANATIC! Late last Saturday afternoon, after completing my chores for the day, I was able to sit down and watch a little TV before dinner. Flashing between the various ESPN channels, I came across a soccer ( football ) match between the Liverpool Reds and the Gunners of... Sign in to see full entry.

But, I will supply the material for someone else... * Hickory Dickery Dock. Three mice ran up the clock. The clock struck one... And the other two escaped with minor... Sign in to see full entry.

If it wasn't for second opinions, people might be calling me 'lefty' now!

REMEMBER, IT’S YOUR BODY AND YOUR FUTURE! When I was two-years-old, I accidentally stuck my right hand into a fan while reaching for something. The fan blades severed my thumb literally in half ( remember: a 2 year-old’s thumb is only about an inch long! ). Although this was 50 years ago, I recall... Sign in to see full entry.

I know it's not nice to poke fun at other people's misfortunes but . . .

CAN THIS BE CONSIDERED ‘POETIC JUSTICE?’ I know in 99% of the U.S., people have to pump their own gas. However, here in New Jersey, we still have ‘attendants’ who will gladly do it for you ( Oregon is the only other state where it’s actually illegal to pump your own gas ). But whether that person is... Sign in to see full entry.

HOPEFULLY THESE WON’T LOOK TOO FAMILIAR TO ANYONE! Some of you may laugh at these, and some of you may cringe. I guess it’s all relative! Have fun...

When it comes to a simple matter of 'survival,' I say, go with the odds!

WILL IT BE A PLANE CRASH OR A SHIP WRECK? Here’s another one of those unusual ‘topics for discussion’ that may separate people into two different camps. When it comes to traveling great distances, you really have four choices ( five, if you think your feet and legs can handle unbelievably long walks... Sign in to see full entry.

Apparently even naming your kid has become a money-making endeavor!

THESE BIDS AND OFFERINGS ARE GOING TO BE FUN TO FOLLOW I know there are still many entrepreneurial undertakings out there in a variety of fields and areas. However, here’s one that I thought may still be personal enough not to be included: naming your own child! But apparently, there’s money to be... Sign in to see full entry.

Three cheers for Monday! No? Okay . . . how about some laughs instead?

THESE WILL GET THE BETTER OF YOU YET! Times are tough, but it’s nothing that a few chuckles can’t cure! Shall we? There are many terms and phrases in use today that no one seems to really ponder or consider. “ Tit for tat ” is one that is particularly confusing to me. I don’t know about you, but I...

Apparently, it's not how you use the #8 . . . it's how you write it!

A LITTLE HANDWRITING ANALYSIS FOR FUN... BUT NO PROFIT Just out of curiosity, is “8” anyone’s lucky number? Well, regardless, I remember seeing something not too long ago that mentioned the number 8, but not because of its usage as a magic or lucky number. Apparently, how a person writes out the...

About this Blog

Like the famous Roman stand-up philosopher Comicus once exclaimed: “I coalesce the vapor of human experience into a viable and logical comprehension.” In other words, I see, hear and read about a lot of peculiar things, try to make some sense of them, and then pass them on to you, hopefully in a whimsical but common sense way. Strap yourselves in . . . this ride can sometimes be a little bumpy! From the author of "The Hindering" and "Welcome To America-Society In Decline"
