Jerry

Jerry Doyle died Wednesday the 27th just eleven days after he turned sixty. He was one of the cast members of T V show Babylon 5. He ran for congress, was a stockbroker and a pilot. For the last ten or twelve years he was a radio talk show host. From what I've heard he was a fun guy and a great friend. He was always one for a laugh. He was an open person. He was real and passionate.When you listen...

Shhh!

The other day I was standing near a park bench. In front of it was a cigarette urn and it was locked. I couldn't help thinking, who would want to steal used cigarettes? Who would care? Then I thought about some poor schmoe so desperate for smokes he is willing to dig through other people's dirty butts to find one. Then I thought someone should have a little mercy. A little compassion. Let the guy...

Appearance

The office manager called an employee into his office. "I'm afraid I have to speak to you about your appearance." The employee asked, "Is it my tattoos? Cause, I can cover them up." "No, it's not the tattoos." "It's my piercings. I can take some of them out." "It's not the piercings." "It's my mohawk. You don't like the blood red color." "It's not your tattoos, piercings, or your hair. It's your boa." "My...

Sometimes they appear to die, but suddenly they're back. Sometimes the heroes have a great plan to bring to end the villian's plots forever. It fails.

Independent

A friend of mine once told someone she owed them an apology. When they asked why she said it was none of their business. She was born on the Fouth Of July which is appropriate. She was an independent woman. She played by her rules. That's America. We play by our rules. We can go it on our own, if we have to. We don't need anyone's permission to be great. Happy Indepence D...

Honeypot

Sometime ago I watched a movie called "Honeypot."  In it Rex Harrison played a wealthy man who was about to die. He asked his ex-wife to return the hour glass filled with gold dust she got in her settlement. She asked why. He said he was going to fill bons bons with the gold dust and eat them. That way, when he died, he could take it with him. Sadly, the ex-wife had already sold the gold dust....
