Seats, Laps, Backs and Shoulders Okay ... everybody have a seat ... Everybody has a seat. Your seat is behind you. Don't you think it's amazing your seat is behind you? I mean, think how awkward it would be If your seat was in front of you? Like, how would you sit down, or anything? Okay, so anyway, it's behind you. Your seat is there so you can sit on it. This is really useful, for example, When you are tired standing in line for hours, No problem; just sit on your seat until the line moves. Then you can sit on your seat again. And if you go to a place Where all the seats are taken, No problem, just sit on your seat. And no one is ever going to take your seat. Like, what would you sit on if you didn't have a seat? And when you have problems in your life, Just remember, your seat is right there behind you. Your seat will never let you down Even if everybody else does. If your seat gets hurt, like if you fall down skiing, "Excuse me, I fell down skiing and hurt my seat, Can I borrow your seat ...?' "You get your hands off me!!!" Also, you can not lie down on your seat Because it's too small. Everybody has a lap even if they can't afford one. Nature gives you a free one. Your lap is in front of you. I mean, wouldn't it be awful if your back was in front of you? Even if it would be easier to scratch that way? And although you can't sit on your lap You can sit on someone elses. Did you know that your back is behind you? Your back is just above your seat, but Unlike your seat, You can't sit on your back because it's too big. And remember that when you have problems in life, Your back is right there behind you to back you up and in case you have to fall down on it. Why, with both your seat and your back behind you, How could you possibly fail? If you have a bag of chips, put one on your shoulder. You now have a chip on your shoulder. That way if somebody, who already has two shoulders of there own, bugs you about your shoulder ... Nurse?...Nurse? Is it time for my ECT shock session today? Jaime |

Daddygoose, you're always so funny..this is so hilarious. Your style is reminiscent of the writings of Billy Collins who starts with an ordinary subject (shoulders! for one), lifts it out of the ordinary and turns it out into a whimsical one. Love this. Must search for more of yours. |
