YOUR HOROSCOPES #8

See previous posts for earlier Zodiac signs.

 

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

DEEP THOUGHTS

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!

 

LEGAL LOGIC or ” I DON’T NEED NO STINKING ETHICS ! “

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.

 

SAY WHAT ???

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.

THERE IS NO SHAME IN IGNORANCE , STUPID!

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.

 

POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS ARE “BASS-ACKWARDS”

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.

 

OLD JOKE

I like to keep things original on this blog. Breaking this rule, I’d like to share one of my favorite old jokes.

Question: What is the definition of a dyslexic, agnostic insomniac?

Answer: Someone who stays up all night long trying to decide if there really is a Dog.

HUMAN NATURE

The following are my thoughts alone. I’d like to use the thoughts of others but all of the rental places are closed at this hour.

It appears Britons have voted to exit the European Union. British Prime Minister, David Cameron (who fought hard against such a move), has just resigned (effective in October). I expect he will pick up his ball and go home…where he’ll hold his breath until he turns blue.

Barack Obama was just handed some bad news, as well, by the Supreme Court, on his unconstitutional immigration overreach. But, alas, he has no balls and would have a hard time turning blue. Note: Let us not confuse the above with “blue balls”, which is an entirely different subject and probably not to the casual reader’s taste…uh…I mean preference.

UPDATE: Now, the British are in an uproar. They are blaming everything and everyone for the Brexit vote outcome, (Including pollsters). A petition is being circulated pushing London to secede from the rest of England so that city can remain in the EU. Much nervousness. Much hand wringing. While maintaining stiff upper lips, much lower lip quivering, much underpants laundering. Too much tea. It is unfortunate the royal family stays apolitical. (Smart for them, unfortunate for the unwashed masses). If Prince William would have made his preference known (and why), I’m sure all of Great Britain would be at ease. They like him and with good reason. He has youngsters who will have to live with this outcome, after all. Also, we might all get to see what Kate is wearing today.

Now to the meat of the matter:  Human Nature. Continue reading HUMAN NATURE
