How many adages begin with "When in doubt . . . ?" Well, here's another!

IF THIS ISN’T A “RULE OF THUMB,” IT PROBABLY SHOULD BE! Here’s a scenario I’m sure many of us share on the day we decide to go grocery shopping... First, a quick sprint around the house to check on general supplies, which includes peeking into the fridge, the freezer, the cabinets, the pantry, the... Sign in to see full entry.

It's time once again to make Mondays as humorous as possible!

DON’T LAUGH AND LET THE COFFEE COME OUT OF YOUR NOSE! Sit back and relax! Time for more silliness... If someone ever says to you “Expect the unexpected!” slap them upside the head and then ask “Did you expect that?” If you lick all of the frosting off of a cupcake, it becomes a muffin! At some...

Any chance you may have thought that Britain was actually full of shit?

APPARENTLY THEY’RE FULL OF SOMETHING ALL RIGHT! Here’s another one of those whacky articles I came across recently that I simply must share with everyone! Hopefully our Blog-it friends across the pond keep their sense of humor about it! Once again, in its entirety... 15-ton lump of lard nearly plugs... Sign in to see full entry.

Like my wife always says . . . things happen for a reason!

THE BAD NEWS ACTUALLY HAD SOMEWHAT OF A SILVER LINING! Over the years, we’ve all heard or read story after story about those unscrupulous computer hackers out there, breaking into people’s private accounts, compromising people’s bank statements, stealing people’s money and ruining people’s credit!...

I know it's Monday! C'mon, shake it off and have a few laughs . . .

I DON’T KNOW HOW YOU CAN’T SMILE AT THESE... You know what time it is! Time for more silliness! And away we go... A few years ago, Oprah had a show about women who fake orgasms. Not to be outdone, Geraldo came right back with a show about men who fake bowel movements. The new, modern Swiss Army... Sign in to see full entry.

I guess it was a decent tribute following one hell of a disaster!

THEY WEREN’T THE “DOORS OF PERCEPTION”... JUST DOORS! A few years ago, my wife and I discovered a wonderful restaurant near my old hometown called JakeaBob’s that was on the shore in a small Jersey town called Union Beach. It had an indoor dining area of course, but its main attraction was the... Sign in to see full entry.

Hey, everyone! The game's on! Let's all go to the nudie bar!

WHAT A THING TO GET IN TROUBLE FOR! Here’s a rather unusual tale I’d like to relay that probably requires a rather unorthodox analogy in order for it to make at least some sense. However, I’m actually going to give you the analogy first... Try to imagine going into a small diner, and just for the... Sign in to see full entry.

Monday! Monday! It's all about Mondays! Take them with a chuckle , , ,

LET’S SEE IF I CAN GET EVERYONE SMILIN’ AGAIN! Sun coming up through the blinds? Birds chirping? Garbage trucks rumbling off in the distance? You know what that means, don’t ya? Time for some Monday mornin’ rib-ticklers! Have fun... The lazy composer still had several scores to settle. We have... Sign in to see full entry.

Hopefully everyone will feel compelled to leave a comment for THIS blog!

ONE THING I GUARANTEE WE ALL SHOULD HAVE IN COMMON... When I was working for a graphic arts company a few years back, my department had the task of working with negatives, producing “proofs” for our clients. It was hands-on stuff, something I had done for over 20 years. Then, due to certain... Sign in to see full entry.

It's one of those unusual monikers that I'm actually quite proud of!

I’M NOT HEAVY... I’M HIS COUSIN! Not too long ago, I got together with some of my cousins from Maryland, including my “twin” cousin Tommy. A few of you may recall my mentioning of him before. My mother and his mother ( sisters ) were in the hospital at the same time ( mine in New Jersey and his in... Sign in to see full entry.

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"
