Wednesday…wicked or wonderful???

Bada Bing!

Someone posted they had just baked some synonym buns. I replied, you mean just like the ones grammer used to make?

I was at the post office when I saw someone shouting into an envelope. I asked, “What are you doing?” They replied, “Sending a voice mail.”

If you spell the words “Absolutely Nothing” backward, you get “Gnihton Yletulosba,” which ironically means…Absolutely nothing.

What is it about the gentle beeping of a carbon monoxide detector that is so relaxing?

I always take the batteries out of my carbon monoxide detector. All that beeping gives me a headache.

Today is the birthday, in 1919, of Pete Seeger, folk singer and social activist. He was a strong union supporter and anti-war activist. His group, The Weavers, was blacklisted during the McCarthy era. He re-emerged in the sixties as a prominent singer of music in support of international disarmament, civil rights and environmental causes. We miss him.
