Bumper Sticker Mentality

I’ve always been amazed at the wisdom found on your ordinary bumper sticker. It never ceases to amaze me how someone can take a broad concept and boil it down to its most basic level and be easily digested by anyone.

Below are some that I stumbled upon recently which I thought I’d share:

THE DEFINITION OF STUPIDITY

* If you always do what you always did, you'll always get what you always got

PRACTICALITY

* Whenever I feel blue I start breathing again

THE FUTURE

* I'm leaving my body to science fiction

ECONOMICS

* The buck doesn't even slow down here

REALITY

* Ask me about my explosively angry reaction to stupid questions

GOOD ADVICE

* Follow your dreams (except that one where you're at school in your underwear)

HOW TO LIVE

* Live so that your friends can defend you but never have to

SUCCESS VS FAILURE

* Many of life's failures are people who didn't realize how close they were to success when they gave up -- Thomas Edison

CONVERSATION

* Talk only if you can improve the silence

EVERYDAY AMBIGUITY

* I'd like to verb your noun

SEXUALITY

* I lost my virginity but I still have the box it came in

* I'm just 2 people away from a threesome

THE BEST ADVICE OF ALL

* Simplify

Top 10 Cartoon Duo's

This time out the subject is Top 10 Cartoon Duo’s. I was only going to make this a Top 5 list but I had so many entries to work with, I added the last 5. Here’s the list is no particular order – wait, that’s not right… 10. Ren & Stimpy: Call this entry the ‘Odd Couple’ of the group. A cat and a dog (I think) living together and making their way despite their obvious instincts to be sworn enemies. I have to admit that this cartoon was hard to watch sometimes because of the ‘gross’ nature of both characters – pooping and boogers a big part of the vernacular. “Oh, Re-e-e-n?”, “Yes, Stimpy!” 9. Inspector Gadget & Penny: An uncle and his niece go around solving crimes against Dr. Claw. It was actually Gadget and his dog, Brain, that tried to solve the crimes and Penny that actually solved them. She would tell Brain the solution and that crazy dog would expend a great deal of energy trying to make the Inspector understand the solution. Finally, when Inspector Gadget would ‘stumble...

Lunch with a side of awkward

Last week I was sitting in my office wondering what to eat for lunch since I didn’t bring anything to eat. I happened to be in our break room and saw a collection of restaurant menus and began thumbing through them for suggestions. I came across a place that I had heard of but had never been to, so I decided to go there – mostly because of how close it was to the office. I walked in and looked around. The place was empty. There was a table of 4 ladies in the corner who looked like your basic bridge-playing women. Sitting in the booth next to them was another couple that looked like they were wrapping things up in order to leave. Finally a server appeared and seated me at a table across the aisle from the foursome. By then, the other couple had left. As I looked around, I noticed a lot of the place was made of or covered in wood. It’s the kind of a place you might find overlooking a body of water, but all that was outside this place was a parking lot. The server was tall, thin, dark hai...

Buried Anger

Earlier this week, I came to the realization that I have some anger issues. I’ll bet you can’t tell what I’m angry about? If you said ‘my job’, you’d be wrong. If you said ‘money’ that would be strike 2. You know what I’m really angry towards – women. Yes, I realize this is not a new subject but I think I’m getting to the core of the problem. Let me explain: At work, we recently hired a young lady for our Customer Service department. She’s a total hottie with an incredible body – very nice to look at. I’ll admit she’s probably a little young for me but, for whatever reason, I feel anger towards her whenever I see her. It’s almost unfair. Okay, so I have to deal with that… fine. Then one of our shipping guys gets a visitor from some shipping company – total knockout. I almost gasped when I saw her. He’s an older guy (older than me) and been married with kids for a long time and he probably doesn’t even think about her ‘in that way’. Again, I feel anger towards this woman and I don’t eve...
