Idle Thoughts of a Wandering Mind
When I'm finally holding all the cards, why does everyone decide to play chess?

Possum Law of Public Speaking: A closed mouth gathers no feet...

These days, I spend a lot of time thinking about the hereafter...
I go somewhere to get something and then wonder what I'm here after.

From our Useless Information Department

The world record for spitting a watermelon seed is still 65 feet 4 inches.

Good Advice...On anniversaries the wise husband always forgets the past...
but never the present.
This makes sense:Artificial intelligence
is no match for natural stupidity.

Always Do all the good you can, by all the means you can,
at all the times you can, to all the people you can,
 as long as you can!!
