Possible Explanation

People have been wondering what the connection is between the Corona-virus and toilet paper,I suspected the reason was the need to feel they had control and oddly enough I was right. The reason people are hoarding TP specifically is that it is bulky so if fills the need more quickly,plus the built in instinct to follow what you see others doing makes people think they need to do the same thing... or it could be that hungry kangaroos are getting into bathrooms in Australian parks and eating the toilet paper,the choice it entirely yours!

Sad,but Funny

Time for some political quotes: I have come to the conclusion that one useless man is a disgrace,that two become a law firm,and that three or more become a congress. John Adams
The only way to get elected to Congress is to raise a bunch of campaign money,and pretty much the only way to do that is to already be a member of Congress. Dave Barry
Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself. Mark Twain
I could end the deficit in five minutes. You just pass a law that says that any time there is a deficit of more than three percent of the GDP,all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for reelection. Warren Buffett
When they call the roll in the Senate,the senators do not know whether to answer "Present" or "Not guilty." Theodore Roosevelt

You Win!

Two British arcade owners got creative with their claw machines,one in East Yorkshire replaced the toys in the machine with rolls of toilet paper amid the panic over a shortage of toilet paper caused by the Corona-virus. Another man in Devon put hand sanitizer and soap into the claw machine for prizes. Customers gave glowing feedback over the new prizes though some did so while laughing. It makes more sense than trying to win worthless junk,at least with these prizes you can wipe your butt,then clean your hands!

BBQ Pig

Today's post should be filed under "who knew" for a couple of reasons...who knew that in Britain they attach pedometers to pigs in order to prove the pigs are free range,who knew that if one pig ate the pedometer attached to another pig then pooped it out that the copper from the battery when mixed with the pig poop would start a fire?  That is exactly what happened on a farm near Bramham...I'm pretty sure the name of the place wasn't meant to be a pun. No firefighters or animals were injured and they did manage to save the bacon.

Beer and Boredom

A Houston,TX retiree got bored and incorporated his boredom and love of beer into a major project. Using over 50,000 beer cans he began renovating his house,making siding from the cans and intricate garlands from the can tops and pull tabs which act as wind chimes when the wind is just right. Not only do the cans lower the electric bill the man also makes money on tours which he offers on weekends $5 for adults,kids under 12 enter for free.

Fooled Her Once

With women's rights came more responsibilities which is to be expected and I would say they were accepted happily. There is still a ways to go to have equality and of course there will always be those ready to abuse any progress which brings me to today's topic. A woman met a man online and they agreed to meet for dinner. They went to an expensive place and had an extravagant meal and beverages but she offered to pay because she'd had a nice time. They met again for dinner and the same type of extravagance and since her dining companion had said he would pay for this meal she was surprised when the bill came and he said he had left his wallet at home,so she was left to pay again and he assured her he would pay next time. She decided to give him one more chance and the third meal was more of the same plus she was bored because he was saying the same things he had talked about at the previous meals. When the bill came he said there was a problem with his account so she would have to get it this time. She said she had left her wallet in the car and left to get it...and never returned! I say good on her and shame on him for being a user.

A Picture Is Worth?

Since the time change left me feeling disoriented and crabby I decided to present some pictures that Google Earth captured. They leave a person wondering what the rest of the story was. Is it just me or is the time change discriminatory to morning people?
