rambling

I guess my mind is a little different than most folks. I tend to make mental connectios that most people don't think about at first blush. For example:

If whale oil comes from whales, where does baby oil come from?

A friend tried to commit suicide by slashing his wrists with a razor, but it didn't work. He forgot to plug it in.

If I tell you that I'm Lysdexic, do I get a handicapped sticker on the front or the back of the car?

The other day I got my hair cut. Several people asked me, "Dan, did you get your hair cut?" I said, "No, I got both of them cut."

If I dreamed I was a Michelin, would I wake up tired?"


Today I saw a bumper sticker that said "Unions - the people who brought you weekends." I'm sorry, but I thought that weekends were God's idea? I mean, didn't he choose Saturday as His day of rest? Didn't we Christians move the Sabbath to Sunday in honor of Jesus' resurrection? I think God had a lot to do (uh...EVERYTHING to do) with weekends and the union had NOTHING to do with it!

Am I imagining things or is television being brought to us by one syndrome after another these days? I mean, you may have read from my previous posts that I consider myself extremely blessed and one of my greatest blessings is good health, so I have a hard time commiserating with people who have various ailments. I guess, being nearly 50, I can relate to a few of them, but it seems as though every person in America should have, oh, 5 or 6 ailments apiece to finance all of the prescription drug commercials that are on every 5 minutes of so. Either that, or the amount of money that drug companies make on every prescription is OUTRAGEOUS!! I have a feeling it's the latter, but I do worry that people are being made to question their health so they "ask their doctor" and get prescriptions they don't really need just because they talked themself into the newest syndrome because of commercials. I have to go. My restless legs are acting up and I have to go take a pill. - Dan
