 "I never told her to call back," she said of the woman on the phone.

"Who?"

"She told me that she called here before and that I told her to call back."

"What did she want?"

"She just tried to sell me a burial plot."

"If she calls back you tell her to smoke a stick of dynamite."

Humor 01 18 2024

"The fortune cookies that I bought at the grocery store don't come with any lottery numbers on them!

So it is best to get your fortune cookies with your Chinese meal, that way you will get the lucky lottery numbers on the fortune too, and you won't be cheated."

Philosophy 11 08 2024

 You either believe in making the most of what you have or you believe in taking from other people.

If you believe in taking from other people, it really means that you do not believe in yourself.  

*****'

Did you ever drive through a poor neighborhood and ask yourself why they don't believe in making the most of what they have?

Immigrant Visa Status Catholic Priests 11 05 2024

 So some are not getting back into the country when their visa expires; as the least not immediately.

But that brings up an important question?  Why aren't they hiring American men as Priests?

1.  Because they don't want to hire "men" for the job?

2.  Because no "men" want the job?

It takes away legitimacy of the church to hire men?  There is more legitimacy seen if someone with a foreign accent is hired?  Somehow it increases the belief?  

So I worked in Chicago circa 1992.  As t a pretty high up place.  The secretary of the President of the company I worked for told me all Catholic priests were openly gay at parties.

So I can easily see how men are quickly weeded out of the priesthood.  No man would want to try and fit in with that pier group.  No man would want to cow tow to that.  But what it really suggests is complete illegitimacy.   

I don't like to have to write these things.  But I have a civic responsibility to do so.  Ask yourself who I am fighting for.

Humor 11 02 1966

 There is an element of humor in the phrase, "artistically corrected."

Perhaps it has to do with making something, making a mistake, and finishing we hat you made to be as good as or better.  All the while some how getting around the error you made in a good way.  Artistically corrected.

And it is a sign of expertise, in that only professionals are deemed to be valid in terms of implementation of "artistic license."
