Random Observations…No.3
JUST DESSERTS Isn’t it odd how people who never eat dessert at any other time will sample 3 or 4 or a half-dozen different ones after the Thanksgiving or Christmas dinners.
NOT J.I.T. INVENTORY Ever notice how the stapler does not run out of staples except when you are trying to use it?
JEKYLL-HYDE DRIVERS Why is it that some women who are so nice and gracious on Thanksgiving and Christmas will run your ass over the day after if you get in their way going to the mall?
PERFECT NAME Did you ever take a close look at an ugli fruit?
SPEAKING OF UGLY There are some kids who are so ugly they should not be seen or heard.
TAKE A FLYING LEAP Has there ever been anyone more courageous (or insane) than the first person to bungee jump off a bridge?
WHAT’S FOR DINNER? It had to be one hungry dude who first walked out on the beach, picked up an oyster, and decided to eat it.

You know there are a number of foods for which that last one works.
Do you ever notice those young women in sleek,fast cars ? I call them “waterbugs”, because they skim the road and they will run you over and not bat an eye in the process!
JUST DESSERTS- Well you know holidays are always the time people use to run amuck…”Well, it’s the holidays.” Personally, I don’t have that problem…I run amuck all the time.
NOT J.I.T. INVENTORY- Yeah, MY stapler does the same thing. Interesting!
JEKYLL-HYDE DRIVERS- Well now, you’re messing with “Women on a Mission” Winston. Purchasing or exchanging…you just don’t mess with that. You’re lucky to be alive.
PERFECT NAME- It’s too sad, isn’t it? Even I find myself passing up those poor little unfortunate critters at the store. Someone should just put them out of their misery. Ban them from the produce department.
SPEAKING OF UGLY- Okay, now here’s where we have a problem Winston. You know very well every child is a beautiful creation in their own way. It’s not until they get older and have had years to cook into the actual adult they are going to be that it may become painfully apparent something was missing from the recipe.
TAKE A FLYING LEAP- My vote is INSANE!
WHAT’S FOR DINNER- Hungry or desperate! Yeah, I just can’t see chugging those slimy, little creatures down my throat either Winston. And this coming from someone who loves most seafood…just haven’t been able to go there. Same with clams…unless maybe they’re fried.
Thanks Winston…… -Joy
Actually, Joy, I love those watery, slimy oysters - on the half-shell, fried, Rockefeller, or however. It’s just the thought of that FIRST guy who picked one up and looked at it and decided to eat it. And he didn’t even have Tabasco or lemon for it…
You do? You’re braver than I am Winston. That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.
On staplers:
Q: Why is it that things are always in the last place you look for them?
A: Because when you find them, you stop looking!
Maybe the first person who bungee-jumped just fell and fortunately had his legs wrapped in the cords? Stranger things have happened.
On the subject of staplers. how come I shuffle stuff on the desk for, like, ever yet when I need one of those things, I can’t find it? Like, the box of staples. I see it practically every day–except for the day I need it.
One of these days, I will find a cache of stuff in a place called “Somewhere Safe”. It will be full of stuff I put there so they would be safe and not get lost or tossed. Like my handheld radio and our very expensive hair scissors. Sometimes, things escape from Somewhere Safe and get found again. Lorna put the ashes of Zeus and Skiz ’somewhere safe’ and they were lost for nearly a year. Then one day, there they were.
