Michael's Musings

June 1, 2011

I've uploaded 2 new reviews to the Best Bets on DVD site, accessible via the link in the Introduction section of this page.  They films are Mike Leigh's ANOTHER YEAR and the romantic comedy, HAPPYTHANKYOUMOREPLEASE. 

So, take a look.

Now, here's something I was sent:

A new way to avoid any .08 alcohol issues while driving: 
 
I went out with some  friends last night and tied one on.

Knowing that I was wasted, I did something that I have never done before.

I  took a bus home.

I arrived home safe and warm, which seemed  really surprising as...

I  have never driven a bus before.

:-)

You have a creative day.

2 TOUGH QUESTIONS

Question 1:

If you knew a woman who was pregnant, who had 8 kids already, three who were deaf, two who were blind, one mentally retarded, and she had syphilis, would you recommend that she have an abortion?


Read the next question before looking at the response for this one.

Question 2:

It is time to elect a new world leader, and only your vote counts.

Here are the facts about the three candidates.


Candidate A:
Associates with crooked politicians, and consults with astrologists.
He's had two mistresses.
He also chain smokes and drinks 8 to 10 martinis a day.


Candidate B:
He was kicked out of office twice, sleeps until noon,
used opium in college and drinks a quart of whiskey every evening.


Candidate C:
He is a decorated war hero.
He's a vegetarian, doesn't smoke, drinks an occasional beer
and never committed adultery.


Which of these candidates would be our choice?

Decide first ... No peeking, and then scroll down for the response.






Candidate A is Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Candidate B is Winston Churchill..
Candidate C is Adolph Hitler.

And, by the way, on your answer to the abortion question:

If you said YES, you just killed Beethoven.


Pretty interesting isn't it?
Makes a person think before judging someone.


Remember:

Amateurs ... Built the ark.
Professionals ... Built the Titanic.


You have a creative day.

Since this is Memorial Day weekend, my next blog entry will not be until Tuesday (31).

This morning, I have my annual physical and on Monday (yes, Monday), I have an eye exam.  I need new glasses.

Yesterday, I finished proofreading DRACULA MEETS JACK THE RIPPER And Other Revisionist Histories, so during the next few days, I'll be transferring my corrections to written notes, so that the typesetter can implement them.  I'm very proud of this book.  I think you'll enjoy the stories in it.

Now, here's a short joke to hold you for the long weekend:

A wife asks her husband, "Could you please go shopping for me and buy one carton of milk, and if they have eggs, get 6."

A short time later the husband comes back with 6 cartons of milk.

The wife asks him, "Why did you buy 6 cartons of milk?"

He replied, "They had eggs."

You have a creative weekend and I'll see you on Tuesday.

Michael
