Spread the Stupidity

Only in America .......do drugstores make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.


Only in America ......do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a diet coke.


Only in America ......do banks leave vault doors open and then chain the pens to the counters.


Only in America ......do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage.


Only in America ......do we buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight.


Only in America ......do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering.


EVER WONDER....

Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens
our skin?


Why can't women put on mascara with their mouth closed?


Why don't you ever see the headline 'Psychic Wins Lottery'?


Why is 'abbreviated' such a long word?


Why is it that doctors call what they do 'practice'?


Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons?


Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?


Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?


Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?


Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes?


Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?


You know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes? Why don't they make the whole plane out of that stuff?!


Why don't sheep shrink when it rains?


Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?


I like this one!!!
If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?


If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal?


Now that you've smiled at least once, it's your turn to spread the stupidity and send this to someone you want to bring a smile to (maybe even a chuckle)...in other words, send it to everyone. We all need to smile every once in a while.

**Have A Great Day**

THE BUMBLEBEE:

A bumblebee, if dropped into an open tumbler,
will be there until it dies, unless it is taken
out. It never sees the means of escape at
the top, but persists in trying to find some way out
through the sides near the bottom.. It
will seek a way where none exists, until it
completely destroys itself..

When I get a closing I do an “abhiaya”.

OK after this one only three more to go and I’m done with the National Spelling Bee. In my former office the PB stated she liked to do this but I won’t tell you what she called it. Anyway my problem is that I don’t do it often enough. Now for the meaning of Abhinaya is a concept in Indian dance and drama derived from Bharata's Natya Shastra. Although now, the word has come to mean 'the art of expression', etymologically it derives from Sanskrit abhi- 'towards' + nii- 'leading/guide', so literally it means a 'leading towards' (leading the audience towards a sentiment, a rasa). So may we all do a happy dance when we have a closing and may you have many of them this year?

If you didn’t notice I did not put the secret word in the heading today I did that for a purpose by the way the word is “brogue”. I was listening to a speaker and he used the word. I knew what he meant but did not know how to spell it so again I asked the wife and she didn’t miss a beat. The meaning of (brog) is the pronunciation peculiar to a dialect, esp., that of English as spoken by the Irish. So how do we relate that to real estate? While the client is speaking do we hear what he said or is it what we thought he said? It’s all a matter of speaking and we are in the business of listening to our clients’ wants and needs aren’t we??? Study that one for awhile..

Not to say on some mornings I might wear one but I think not. Here is another word from the National Spelling Bee. With me being follicle deprived (I know no-one has noticed but I am) on cold days I need to keep the ole noggin covered so the meaning of (pel’ ar en) a womans cape, often of fur, tapering to long points in the front. More to follow I have six more words to post from the event.
