please don't say it's so!

Published Dec. 1, 2008

 Can you believe after a year, the experts finally figured out we were in a recession.  They could have just asked us.

Why, Why, Why,

Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are almost dead?


Why do banks charge a fee on 'insufficient funds' when they already know there is not enough money?

Why does someone

believe you when you say there are four billion stars; but have to check when you say the paint is still wet?

Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?


Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?


Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?


Whose idea was it to put an 'S' in the word 'lisp'?

If people evolved from apes, why are there still
 
apes?


Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white?
 

Is there ever a day that mattresses

are not on sale?


Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?


Why do people keep running over
   a string a dozen times with their vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give the vacuum one more chance?

Why is it that no plastic bag will open from the end on your first try?


How do those dead bugs get into those en closed light fixtures?


When we are in the supermarket and someone rams our ankle with a shopping cart then apologizes for doing so, why do we say, 'It's all right?' Well, it isn't all right, so why don't we say, 'That really hurt, why don't you watch where
   you're going?'

Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that's falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over?

In winter why do we try to keep the house as warm as it was in summer when we complained about the heat?


How come you never hear father-in-law jokes?


And my FAVORITE......
The statistics on sanity is that one out of every four persons is suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best friends -- if they're okay, then it's you.

I remember once my dad said "boy I'm going to give you a whipping that you will never forget". That was about 56 years ago. Do you think I will ever forget it?

Rev -- I know what you're talking about -- mom would send me out for a switch & if it wasn't big enough , i'd have to go back & get another , and she'd spank me twice as hard. I basically stayed out of trouble.

"If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?"

...uh, public school has FAILED us.

We didn't come from apes.

Grumpy -

Back in those days, kids learned early not to run from mom or dad, didn't they.

gigglegigglesnortsnot

And I learned from my granny that when she sent me to the lilac bushes to cut a switch, not to bring a twig back or she'd go cut one of her own, and it'd be a good 'un.

LOL LOL LOL

I was a very busy child. ;o)

God bless.

Rev. RB

I often went shopping everywhere with 5 all under the age of 3. We had a rule. I let them walk on their own following me until I had to call them to catch up for the third time. On the third time, they went in the cart.

It worked very well. Several had to ride in the cart on occasion, but I never lost a single one. Thank God!!!

But of course, I always had my eye on them whether they were right there or lagging behind.

God bless.

Rev. RB

Yeah I ran from mine too Rev. She caught me and switched me all the way back to the house.

Yeah there were a bunch of them there. I think if mine were younger they would be wearing those leashes.

Grumpy-Not - "When you learned the best place to play was in the woods far away from the house down by the creek."

;o)

We weren't allowed out of the yard, but then we had 11 acres to grow up on.

I remember ticking mom off one time, and making the mistake of running from her. She got so mad she chased me, and I thought what the heck - I didn't know the old girl could run so fast.

So I ran to the orchard and climbed up a tree (my favorite thing to do), and you wanna know what she did!?!

She ran around the base of that tree lobbing rocks at me trying to knock me down. Yes she did!

But I climbed higher and stayed there until Dad got home. By then she was calmed down and I was safe.

But whoooeee, she had a temper. Gypsy blood you know.

God bless.

Rev. RB

what about all of those Code Adam's Grumpy, at the Holly Day Fair?

I know the feeling Mom. Haven't lost mine for too long yet but I get that sinking feeling whenever I see a lost child or a parent screaming for one.
