Thank you CDC

Bada bing!

What’s considered trashy if you’re poor, but classy if you’re rich?  Manipulating the stock market.

My friend couldn’t afford to pay his water bill.So I sent him a “get well soon” card.

My mother-in-law drowned in a well.I didn’t know that wells still existed, let alone granted wishes.

My personal trainer said I did so well on the treadmill that next week she’ll turn it on.

I know the guy who invented Cliff’s notes. I asked him how, he said “Well, to make a long story short…”

I’m addicted to placebos. I could quit, but it wouldn’t matter.

I crastinated part-time for seven years before I went pro.

Signs…

On this day (in 1896), La bohème by Giacomo Puccini premiered at the Royal Theater in Turin. Here’s a wonderful bit. Isn’t she amazing?

Friday near the end of the month

Looking at these knockoff toys I am reminded of a visit to Hong Kong many years ago and seeing all the ‘Banana’ computers for sale.

Knock off toys are the best toys!
Knock off toys are the best toys!

Wary Wednesday

Paranoia runs deep…

Socrates: "Hello, my name is Socrates, and i am a philosophy addict. "

Socrates: "But then again, what really IS an addiction?"
Wittgenstein: "I think it's any compulsive activity."

Socrates: "Ahh, but what is the actual difference between compulsion and genuine willing?"
Wittgenstein: "Well..."

Aquinas: "Alright everyone, settle down, that's enough of that. Wittgenstein, your turn to speak."

Wittgenstein: "I've been philosophy free for five years, but last night i had a relapse. I had some friends over to watch sports..."

Wittgenstein: "I just kept asking them to try to come up with a definition that includes all games and excludes all non-games. Before I knew it I had developed a new theory of language."

Schopenhauer: "I too had a relapse. I was at a restaurant and I overheard someone telling their date that all morality is obviously subjective."

Aquinas: "So what did you do, Schopenhauer?"
Schopenhauer: "I pushed him down the stairs! Ha."
Aquinas: "you...what?"

Schopenhauer: "Yeah, and her too because she was chewing too loud. Wait...this is rageaholics right?"





PERSON: "You...what?"
