Deep Thoughts, Scrambled Eggs, and Two Bears!

I'm not a big Three Things Thursday, or Two Things Tuesday, or Wazzzzup Wednesday guy, but in honor of no running today ... here are "5 Things On Friday" that make me smile, and have nothing to do with running ... 'cause it's a rest day!  (Not funny to you?  Well, I'm immature.)

1) Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey!  Here are some of my fav's ...
"If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them
down?  We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason."

"To me, it's a good idea to always carry two sacks of something when
you walk around.  That way, if anybody says, "Hey, can you give me a
hand?"  You can say, "Sorry, got these sacks."

"If you're a cowboy and you're dragging a guy behind your horse, I bet
it would really make you mad if you looked back and the guy was reading
a magazine."

2) Maybe the funniest thing in the world to me would be two bears standing on the river bank arguing, and then out of nowhere, one bear kicks the other bear in the groin.

3) I know some of you read this on my wife's blog SLOWLY TRI-ING, but one time when we pulled in the garage after grocery shopping, I "accidentally" said something kinda mean to Michael.  As I got out of the car, I heard her reach in one of the bags, and then I felt 18 eggs pelt my back!  I turned around and looked at her like, "seriously?"  And then she said, with a straight face and an angry voice ...
"Hope you like 'em scrambled!"
We laughed about it and stopped arguing after that.  Ah, crazy kids!

4) I've gotta be one of only 5 people in the world who still have a flip phone.  This week I dropped one of my customer's calls because it snapped shut on me.  When I called him back and apologized, and explained the flip phone situation, he said, "A flip phone, who do you call on that thing ... Zack Morris?" 

5) In high school, my son Gage locked his keys in his car.  I was out of town on business and couldn't help him.  After several minutes of trying to break into his car, he got very frustrated and called a locksmith.  When the locksmith got there, he walked around to the other side of the car and asked, "Why didn't you reach in through this back window?" ... which had been rolled down the whole time. Kids ... Hilarious!

Hope you have a great weekend ... good luck to everyone running Detroit Runner Jeff's I Just Felt Like Running Virtual 5K on Saturday ... it should be fun!
... be great today!

  3. I gotta get me some sacks. That would be cool, to just walk around with random sacks. Wonder what I'd fill 'em with.

    The back window? Awesome. I bet you never tease him about that or anything...

  7. #2 made me laugh, I dont know what it is about getting hit in the groin humor, first we grimance and act like "somehow we are the ones that got hit" then we laugh, but we all know how painful it is and how funny it is not
