Discovering America Took Courage, Dedication, Pickles...
I watched a new TV show this week. I don't recall what night. I don't remember the name.
- It was about three real estate women who could only talk about their boobs.
- It wasn't a comedy because it wasn't funny. It wasn't a drama because it had no plot.
- If it had been a reality show, the laugh track would have booed.
- Is it just me or is much of televison becoming boringly unwatchable? I'm beginning to understand why video games are so popular.
Sunday's compassionately conservative Dallas Morning News buried the devastating South Asian earthquake deep inside while covering half the front page with the Texas-Oklahoma football game. That may sound like uncaring journalism until you realize -- ... folks, Texas actually won!
- It's the first good news Texans have had since George W. Bush was elected.
- Governor!
Monday Looks Like a Great Day
• Monday in Canada is Thanksgiving Day.
• Monday is Columbus Day, marking Christopher Columbus' discovery of America in 1492.
Finding 'New World' Took Courage, Dedication - Christopher Columbus first experienced the rigors of the Atlantic Ocean when he went to sea at age 14. In 1470, he saved his own life by swimming to shore after a shipwreck.
Discovery Required Veggie - The unheralded hero of Christopher Columbus' trek to America was the humble pickle.
Columbus Day Fun-Liners - Really dumb thoughts most people don't think of on Columbus Day.
Today is Columbus Day, the day in 1492 when Columbus discovered America during School Lunch Week. Then he had lunch at Pocahontas' school and discovered buffalo by-products.
So Much to Learn, So Little Time
To Build an Organization, Focus on Customers - The key to growing a business lies where it always has, with customers. You have to keep them happy.
Such Incredible Wisdom
Nothing is impossible if you don't have to do it yourself.
It's better to be poor than to be rich. The rich always have to fear becoming poor, but the poor never have to fear becoming rich.
Isn't it weird how oil price increases go into effect at the pump immediately, but with decreases, it can take months to reset the pumps?
- And both changes send natural gas prices skyrocketing!
- The gas may be natural but the prices are definitely unnatural.
Bad news. The world's highest mountain, Mount Everest, is 12 feet shorter than previously thought. So along with global warming, now we have to worry about global shrinking!
- Either that, or the last guy who measured Everest needed a new yardstick.
Here's a new reality TV show that sounds promising: "Eat the Press." Each week media representatives will try to interview a real cannibal.
