Sunday Squibs




There gets to be so much stuff, you need to write down where you put it, with further notes on where your notes are.

Anger can blow up all at once and be over. Or it can seep out for weeks like lava. Which is worse? Which does more damage?

Don't give money to panhandlers. They'll waste it on booze and cigs. Give them gift cards for Olive Garden's bottomless bowl of salad instead.

Like counters for a debt, my years stack up beside the ledger of my life.

When I was a kid, there were always bullets floating around the neighborhood, but no guns. We can thank the NRA for killing that deficit.

Ordering wine in a café is a gamble. You may get a generous pour, you may get stinted. But a bottle of beer is always 12 fluid ounces.

Why do old timers go to auctions and outbid the kids? Still looking for that perfect hammer or cutest cupboard ever.

It's a shock to the newly saved soul to find heaven is closed for remodeling till all the other souls are also saved.

When you find yourself, literature becomes optional. If you reject your findings, then fantasy remains essential.

Purgatory is for those who didn't get it in this life. Hell for those who don't even want to get it.

    Above, I've selected my favorite squib from today's offerings. In Buddhism, one who practices this approach is called a "bodhisattva," who works for the good and service to others. You appear to be one such being. You go, Joe!
