(being Grownup continues to be a job for Amateurs)

This one little fellow adamantly refused to sign his name to any of his thoughts. “Just in case,” he says, “there is a ‘War Crimes Tribunal’ once the present hostilities are concluded.”
(His mom added that if you’re going to be little it’s good to go ahead and be safe.)

 

 


Another guy (who will remain nameless) said
he didn’t want to “be” in a news item,
and threatens legal action if he is.

 


In secondary affairs progress can be by way of expanded explanations of failure.

 

 

First you’re a dog
then you’re a bush
your time will come
no need to push.

 

 

One over-employed father coached his kid ergo,
"Don't be too quick to defend them until you know what they have in their buckets."

 

 

One guy wanted to “get along” with Life so badly that he damned near succeeded.

 

 

If you will listen with ears free of cynical reception I’ll give you another reflection of how progress moved in the singular, secondary world of man.
A sign: “All Ten Cent Drinks Now Only Twenty-Five Cents.”

 

 

One lad, new in town, after being several times told he was “superficial” thought:
"Hmmm, well whatever ‘ficial’ is, at least I'm good at it."

 

 

Need one less thing to sweat over – then remember this:
Someone is ALWAYS first in line.
(And oh yeah, you might also care to note that City sweat is not the same as real
sweat. Oh, and oh yeah, the City’s the only place you have to “stand” in line.)

 

 

Literary Consumer Flash Of The Day:
Having a new computer
will give you new ideas.

 

 

The NCI with the subversive medals told one of the young recruits,
“When it comes to the relating of info you can count on this, the longer the setup, the shorter the punch line.”
And the khakied kid countered, “Don’t you mean, ‘The Longer the setup, the less informative the info’?”
“That’s what I said, ain’t it?”

 

 

Over in this semi-fascinating planet I visited I discovered a shop whose specialty service is (as they put it), “The New You.” The only problem is that they won’t take appointments from the “old” you.

 

 

 

Amidst the weeping, the laughter, the hugs and gunfire, she wrapped her arms around the departing kid and said,
“I know that life out there can seem confusing and inconclusive, but no matter what happens just remember that ‘four out of five doctors.’”
