I always vow whenever I’m stuck for an idea to mine my @8days2amish twitter feed and just harvest snappy ideas from there.
But I hardly ever do this.
Why?
It just seems too easy. And what’s the point of devoting hours each day to a non-paying pastime unless it’s really challenging?
• World’s greatest sales people must work for Spam. Think of the intrinsic hurdles they must overcome just to get calls/e-mails returned.
• Rodell’s Rule of Consumerism: "The crappier/more indifferent the service, the longer the receipt.”
• People who get religious tattoos often have crosses to bare.
• Bedlam is an uproarious situation. Bed lamb is a rural farm scandal.
• Women look in mirror and see flaws others cannot detect; men look in same mirror and see perfection others cannot detect.
• A gym beam requires steady footwork. A Jim Beam isn't nearly as fussy.
• The right thing may not always be the easy thing, but it’s always the right thing. The trouble is that easy's always easier and always easy.
• Someone asked what's the longest I've ever gone without blogging. I said that would be from 1963-2008.
• People who find new money is always burning holes in their pants should invest in flame-resistant trousers.
• Not sure if it makes me a bad dad or an efficient communicator, but I didn't engage in attentive fathering until my kids were old enough to get the jokes.
• Light houses are among our most poorly named structures. They're actually very heavy.
• The fewer the ingredients, the better/healthier the food. For instance, apples are made entirely of apple.
• If a surgeon botches a boob job can they still call it a bust?
• We now have ability to forever preserve things that 10 years ago we would have destroyed as being too stupid for anyone else to ever see
• You’ve lived in same small town too long when you realize you're personal friends with all the guys on the highway billboards.
• Consternation is an acute feeling of dismay; constantsternation is chronic.
• Because they haven't released a new album in 10 years, I propose next Rolling Stones record be called "Gathered Moss.”
• Daughter, 9, said she wants to go to Amsterdam. Why? Said she thinks it'd be cute. She thinks it's Hamsterdam.
• Hate to always be so PC, but shouldn't podiatrists begin describing the little toe of dark-skinned people as something other than”pinkie?"
• Even if you despise war for all its inherent inhumanity, you have to admit: The History Channel would be pretty boring without it.
• Your life will be appreciably more sane if you wake up each day realizing your job isn't nearly as important as you think.
• GOP wants Mexicans to face deportation forces. Dems want Mexicans to meet to discuss solutions -- and we want them to cater!
• Men arrested for public urination prevail if they succeed in getting trial before a jury of pee'rs.
• I wonder if the competitive artists who submit fancy patterns on toilet paper care if theirs is used or if they just don't give a crap.
• Bottom line accountants have it all wrong. Anybody who's seen a naked human understands the bottom line is vertical.
• I wonder how guys like Bach and Beethoven reacted when during meltdowns someone told them to compose themselves.
• Told daughter, 9, "I love you. I'll love you forever." Said she feels that way so sometimes. I told her she'd grounded till she learns the value of lying within family dynamic.
• I’d like to see how a proctologist responds when angry patient tells him bill's too high and he knows what he can do with it.
• Properly functioning auto-correct apps are typo righters.
• Alert the NRA! Declining temperature forecasts means we'll soon be losing our right to bare arms!
• I’m confused about pejorative origins of the word “hardship.” Hardship should be good. History would be different if Titanic were a hardship.
• Even elderly donut makers wake up each morning knowing they have their hole lives ahead of them.
• Square feet can be either a standard unit of measurement or a veteran shoe salesman's bucket-list challenge.
• Because words have meanings and because words matter I vow I'll never again describe another man as an SOB until I've at least met the mom.
• Do fundamentalist climate change deniers see any irony in having sons named Noah?
• How sizable would the yard sale be if you had access to all the stuff enemies through-out your life told you to shove up your ass?
• Because I've never seen a fuddy nor a duddy, fuddyduddy is our most redundant pejorative. It is the triple-dog-dare-ya of put downs.
• I believe wife would be more open to romance if I didn't insist she dump a big bucket of Gatorade over my head after every successful boink.
• America’s endured so much historic trouble from Iran and Iraq, I'm just relieved I don't look at the map and see an Irab, Irat, Iraz, etc.
• Our most aggravating frustrations stem from times when we demand perfection from those incapable of providing it.
• I’ve done like the financial wizards advised. I've had nest eggs. The problem is they've always hatched and flown away.
• I sometimes believe a day will come when I feel like a futurist, but I predict the feeling will pass.
• As I intend to break bread with family tomorrow, can anyone tell me if broken bread is offensive to the food ethicists?
• Attending church scares me. I'm fearful I'll need to bury my inner smart ass so deeply it will suffocate and life will become meaningless.
• Reader’s Digest makes me sick. Of course, I probably shouldn't try and eat it but why would the title instruct otherwise?
• I wonder if there are any bell & whistle stores that boast they sell bells & whistles with all the bells & whistles.
