Michael's Musings

July 15, 2011

The results of the medical procedure I underwent last week were:

NEGATIVE!

Wheew!

Now here are some jokes I was sent:

A Jewish woman goes to see her Rabbi and asks, "Yankele and Yosele are both in love with me, who will be the lucky one?''

The wise old Rabbi answers: "Yankele will marry you. Yosele will be the lucky one."
-------------------------------------------------------------
If a married Jewish man is walking alone in a park and expresses an opinion without anybody hearing him, is he still wrong?
------------------------------------------------------------

My father says, "Marry a girl who has the same belief as the family."

I said, "Dad, why would I marry a girl who thinks I'm a schmuck?"

You have a creative weekend and I'll be back on Monday.

Yesterday afternoon, I met with a group of very nice people who might very well be interested in turning my short story, THE OLD COOT, into a 10-12 minute movie, then entering it into film festivals.

THE OLD COOT is one of the six stories in my forthcoming book, DRACULA MEETS JACK THE RIPPER And Other Revisionist Histories, which should be shipping in about 2 weeks.

These people liked the story very much and are now going to determine if it is financially feasible for them to proceed with it.

I, of course, would script the short and also direct.

One of the "problems" is that this is a period piece, set in Indianapolis in 1914.  Period pieces require an extra expense, so we shall see what we shall see,

There's no real money in shorts.  Hopefully, you break even, but it would be nice to, at least once in my life, see one of my scripts done my way.

Now, I'm off to see the doctor and get the results of last week's medical procedure.

Fingers crossed.

Have a creative day.

A man suffered a serious heart attack while shopping in a store.  The store clerks called 911 when they saw him collapse to the floor.  The paramedics rushed the man to the nearest hospital where he had emergency open heart bypass surgery.

He awakened from the surgery to find himself in the care of nuns at the Catholic Hospital he was taken to.  A nun was seated next to his bed holding a clip board loaded with several forms, and a pen.  She asked him how he was going to pay for his treatment.

"Do you have health insurance?" she asked.

He replied in a raspy voice, "No health insurance."

The nun asked, "Do you have money in the bank?"

He replied, "No money in the bank."
 
"Do you have a relative who could help you with the payments?" asked the irritated nun.

He said, "I only have a spinster sister, and she is a nun."

The nun became agitated and announced loudly, "Nuns are not spinsters!  Nuns are married to God."
 
The patient replied, "Perfect.  Send the bill to my brother-in-law."

You have a creative day.
