Life Lessons in the Funny Papers

Kay, my lovely Mensa wife, reads the San Diego Union Tribune from cover to cover every morning while I peruse the funny papers; blessed is SDUT to offer two full pages. You can immediately see it is a perfect marriage because we never have cause to fight over the morning paper.

While Kay is concerned with pesky facts, (she never loses an argument) I pursue a funny papers inspired overview where there is much to be learned. Below are some selections from Thursday, November 5, 2009.

Take Dilbert for example, In three small panels Scott Adams teaches us three life lessons, maybe four.

• Not to mix our meds.
• The origin of racism.
• Political and criminal philosophy. Of course, this does not apply to your politician(s) eh... eh... eh

In Leaf Zone Ahead and Falling Leaves Next Ten Feet Glenn McCoy in Duplex illustrates the future of nanny Government protection. Not shown are future signs at every restaurant table "chew slowly by order of the President" and signs in our bathrooms, posted at the exact average eye level of all inhabitants. "brush teeth for 60 seconds, or else". A camera will record compliance.

Guys who read the comics section know how to treat their woman and are known throughout the feminine world as better lovers. Try it out yourselves. Guys, next time you are doing the singles bar scene, let it be known that your sensitivity to feminine needs was derived through years of diligent funny paper study. You will never leave another bar alone.

Nest Heads provides younger people and a few middle aged a reason to get flee the nest and buy a home which is good for the economy and more importantely... good for all of us on AR.

I think we have covered a large number of human concerns today; we learned that politicians and criminals are similarly motivated, that government is here to protect us, a proper sharing technique and how to be special.

For those who wish to be surperior humans, my sincere advice is broken into three parts :

1. Read the Comics Section every day. You will be a better person.
2. Watch Think Big Work Small every morning; this morning was an educational hoot. TBWS
3. Attend my FREE mortgage classes (alas, none scheduled at the moment but stay tuned).
