I bought a scientific journal, just the other day, they're stimulating and quite factual, so the eggheads say. I only buy them for the pictures, man, oh, man alive, the centerfold in this month's was of squirrels juggling knives! It's some kind of dis-order that is relatively new. It's victims seem quite rational, about like me and you, but somewhere deep inside their heads, the virus grows and thrives 'til it controls their thoughts, you see, like squirrels juggling knives! You may have met some sufferers, oh, maybe just a few. I've seen them stop for green lights like they haven't got a clue, go twenty in the fast lane, on their cell phones, talking jive. Oh yeah, they've been infected by those squirrels juggling knives! Or, you may work beside, or for, a couple of them too. They look as if they're deep in thought, but, we know that's not true. They're just there to get a paycheck, yet the odds are they'll survive, the next big round of lay-offs made by squirrels juggling knives! It goes against all logic, but, the plain and simple facts, can hardly be disputed, just look how our leaders act. We vote them into office hoping they'll improve our lives, full knowing we'd be better off with squirrels juggling knives! I've got a couple of my own I've saved for rainy days. My doctor says it's not full blown, I've still got quite a ways to go before the danger zone is reached and I high five the rest of all those screwballs with their squirrels juggling knives! |

I like this - though I'd better hide my knives- never know about those squirrels out in the yard - they might have designs upon my steel - Fun - yet very serious stuff hidden in the humor  SusanHappiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |
