What's Forever For?

She loved him. He loved her. They were married in 1947 and stayed married until her death in
2016. In her last year of life she still said, "He's a Keeper." and "You can't have him." He still missed her after she died and said, "We were supposed to go together." They had grown old together and their love had stayed young. Yes, love can last forever.

Tippecanoe

The first weekend in June of every presidential election year The Tippecanoe Party goes to a mountain resort to pick a nominee to run for the office of President. All members have to put their name in or leave the party. There are five hundred and seven members. In the first round all the members put an egg in their pocket and run up a mountain. The first one hundred and forty that make it back with egg unbroken go to the next round. Then there is a tug-of-wag contest. This weans the number down to twenty . They are handed a beer stein filled with lemonade and then proceed to musical chairs. The last one grabbing a seat without spilling lemonade is the nominee. All of this makes a great deal more sense than the way some of the other parties chose a nominee. God bless America.

Who said, The most consistent thing about human beings is their inconsistency?

Let just say, I am clever enough to understand the truth of that sentence. Thank you.

Really?

I watch a reality show called America's Worst Cooks. These are people who burn water. Chef Ann and her cohort take 16 people in teams of two show them something to cook and set them lose on the kitchen while the two chefs watch from above. The recruits run around like crazy trying to recreate what they were taught. One day, one recruit didn't realize that her frying pan was overheating as she scrambled for ingredients. Chef Ann shouts for her attention and fails to get it. Finally she shouts, "Your pan is hot and smoking what do you do?" The answer that popped into my head, "I don't know, take it out to dinner."

Better Than

Some people think it is better to have a dog than a child. A dog will wear anything you want them to without putting up a fuss. They will eat anything you put in front of them. They are always willing to show affection. They forgive you everything. They are never embarrassed to be seen with you. They will never run off to marry an out of work actor and they will always be home for the holidays. The bad side. Dogs won't take care of you in your old age. With children you have a fifty-fifty chance.
