Sunday Squibs


Jesus complained of those who have eyes yet do not see.
Those who see things not there are also a worry.

The Stone Age food pyramid was mostly mastodon, with a bit of honey at the tip.
Now it's mostly honey, and the mastodon is in eclipse.

I envy the Good Thief his deathbed pardon. I don't envy him his vertical bed.

Woman's wondering triggers man's-plaining.

The docs seem to care for us; the saints really do.
The doctors get their pay down here; the saints up in the blue.

  1. Squib 1 got me to thinking; then I found these:

    Incompetents invariably make trouble for people other than themselves.
    Larry McMurtry

    Incompetence is certainty in the absence of expertise.
    Malcolm Gladwell

    If at first you don't succeed, you may be at your level of incompetence already.

    1. The young engineer gets a job at the plastic bag company and invents the zip-lock. He might as well get a new job, because any improvements he comes up with will only make it worse.

  2. Ever read "The Peter Principle"? One of the main points is that when it comes to careers and promotions, everyone rises to the level of his incompetence. (Masculine pronoun is meaningful here.) Think about it.

    Re: Stone Age diet -- for a viewing experience complete with hunting techniques from ~ 20,000 years ago (something wrong with the writer's math here, I think), see "Alpha," a story about a boy and his wolf.
