I have an idea for a new TV show, but it’s not original or interesting  or clever. So its success is pretty much guaranteed!

One person commented on a previous post entitled “BALLS”. The post regarded the recent Orlando shootings (particularly the carnage at the Pulse nightclub.) In his comment, he suggested people carry FISHING WEIGHTS in their pockets to be thrown at gun toting assailants to confuse or disable them while a few “heroes” take the shooter down. Seems like a good idea. They are easily concealable but may be so heavy for their size as to inadvertently drop your trousers while you dance. Questionably effective? Some of my thoughts follow: First, I think background checks on gun purchasers is logical. As is denial for those on “no fly” lists. Continue reading GUNS AND AMMO →

Those of you who wish to comment on any of my posts, please do so. While some of my stuff is just supposed to be silly, comedic “Tortured Logic”, some other thoughts may contain viewpoints on controversial subjects.

I encourage you to express yourselves, particularly if you disagree with me or other commenters. I always enjoy hearing that folks like this blog, but I have no problem publishing contrary viewpoints.  We learn little from those with whom we agree. I will publish contrary and/or unkind comments EXCEPT AS FOLLOWS:

I WILL NOT PUBLISH ANY UNKIND COMMENT IN WHICH OVERT PROFANITY IS FOUND.

I WILL ALSO REFUSE TO PUBLISH ANY UNKIND COMMENT WHICH DOES  NOT INCLUDE THE REASONING BEHIND THE COMMENT.

EXPRESS YOUR ANGER, IF YOU WISH. JUST EXPLAIN WHY YOU FEEL THE WAY YOU DO. IN OTHER WORDS, BE HONORABLE.

SIGN : SCORPIO

SCORPIO is the intellectual sign of “THE SCORPION”. Dynamic people born between October 23rd and November 21st  are usually quite independent. Paradoxically, they can be both loyal and manipulative, resourceful and unyielding. Some who are so passionate (perhaps to the point of obsession), likely have the tenacity to accomplish anything they wish. Suspiciously observant of others, their social skills are not first on their list of priorities.  (Hillary Rodham Clinton was born on October 26th.) Continue reading YOUR HOROSCOPES #8 →

The value of a society is easily determined by the ways it treats the most innocent and defenseless. Simple. No?

I’m not getting any younger. Tennis elbow, shin splints, butt roast and matzo balls are the reasons I no longer play sports.

The “P” In pneumonia is silent and so is the “P” in pterodactyl. But mine always makes a little noise.

I’ve had so many face-lifts that I can clip my toenails without bending over.

I once won a poker game with a straight courtesy flush.

I finally found “gluten-free” underpants.

I took my family to the bikini wax museum.

The Old Faithful geyser once cheated on my wife.

I have a mismatched pair of scissors.

Newly discovered fossils prove Tyrannosaurus Rex was not only gay, but vegan.

It takes two to tango…and three to tango poorly.

I was once axed if I was literate, ex-cetra.

A freon enema will give some folks an ice cream headache.

I have the lint, but somehow misplaced my belly-button.

It is time to wash my socks when they ask.

I got a bad clam the last time I went to Red Lobster. It stole my wallet.

Little Miss Muffet ate the spider, too.

Oil and parachutes don’t mix either.

Chickens don’t have nipples for several good reasons.

Mayonnaise is a poor substitute for engine coolant.

So, now you know!

There is a pregnant woman. Let’s call her #1.

There is another pregnant woman. Let’s call her #2.

There is a mother of six. Let’s call her #3.

Scenarios:

#1 kills #2.   #2’s unborn child does NOT survive.                                                                                     Legally, #1 is guilty of double murder.

#1 kills #2’s unborn child.   In retaliation #2 kills #1’s unborn child.   This is also a double murder.

Both #1 and #2 kill their own unborn children.  Neither is guilty of so much as a mere infraction.

#3 gives her teenage son a whoopin’ for burglarizing the neighbor’s house. She may be looking at 20 years behind bars.

Where is the logic hiding?  The government keeps it somewhere, I guess.

I wonder how befuddled Hillary’s constituents would be if she were to accidentaly quote J.F.K., “Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.”

I think “The Donald” would be well advised to have his physician check him for “hoof in mouth” disease.

Everyone is ignorant on many levels. “Ignorance” is simply not knowing something or, at least, not knowing something well. There is no shame in that. Nobody can know everything.

Stupidity is different. The most intelligent and informed folks can be (and often are)  “stupid”.

When someone laughs at another person’s  “stupid” question, they are laughing at somebody who is trying to become less ignorant. How stupid is that?

Throw politics into the mix. It is often the case when a voter casts his/her ballot while ignorant of the policy or candidate concerned. That is stupidity in action.

Dear Prospective Employer,                                                                                                                                                                                           You must hire me because you might do worse.

When was the last time you landed a job by submitting a resume basically ignoring your own qualifications, but instead focusing on what you think the other applicants’ shortcomings are?

Why do attack campaigns work? It appears many in the voting public find the entertainment of “mud slinging” to be more relevant than pertinent, beneficial  information.
