Sanity statistics who one out of four people is suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best friends -- if they're okay, then it's you.
Gordon,
ReplyDeleteGood day, mate.
I love this post. Wonderful! The "human condition" in action.
Why can't we pay a toll by check?
Why can't we cry out, "You did!" when the next company spokesperson begins a mea culpa by saying, "...If we offended anyone by our insensitive, stupid behavior, we apologize. C'mon man.
Hope things are well.
This was a lot of fun.
Thanks.
Best,
Larry

ReplyDeleteLarry,
ReplyDeleteYou bet mate and what makes it even more a C’mon man catch cry is it’s usually a mea maxima culpa when that happens.
Taking about human condition I am sure the remote was placed first for a reason. I wish sales copy lines like that could also grab such attention.
But to be honest when I got to the four billion stars it got to me the most . Ever since, I have been up every night counting them. It’s a whole lot less boring than watching paint dry.
By the way on the mental illness odds deal, I am sorry to tell you that I had to cross you off my best friend list after I visited the sanitarium and made 3 new best friends. C'mon man, you understand I just had to do it.
Larry, it’s always great fun when we do this as always.
Yes all well here
cheers
Gordon
