LOVE the “van gogh’s ear for music!” I think that would be a subtle, nicer way to refer to my dear hubby’s musical talents! I guess it applies in more ways than one, though, as he is very passionate about the songs (good thing) even though the singing is, well,… haha! He’s gonna love this!

Well, Rob, in keeping with the I.V. theme, I should say that your blague continues to grow on me. .-= Dave's most recent blog post ... Michael Jackson: King of Poop =-.

Rob, it’s my magnetic personality, I suspect.

@Nancy – Thanks for the funny stories. It’s great to read real life incidences!
You seem to attract incidences like this, though….

Hey Rob: If the “news” for the past few days is what sells, then it is truly a reflection of the moral climate (abyss) we are in. I was refreshingly pleased to find your blog a wonderful and entertaining departure from the news commentators droning on and on. Wouldn’t it be great to have a news channel exclusively dedicated to “What God is doing on planet earth?”

I remember attending an event one December with a friend of mine. We observed a beautifully dressed woman, and I said that it was a shame she’d have to cover up her lovely outfit with a winter coat, to which my friend replied, “Not to worry. She has her pride to keep her warm.”

A colleague and I were trying to understand this comment by a book reviewer: “The brush is too broad that paints gray all black.” Someone in the room commented, “Let it never be said that clarity clouds our vision.”

@Dahv – I have to be careful myself since I tend to sarcasm. I’m learning, though, to add a softer, ironic edge to it, though, that tries to gently poke fun at things. Sarcasm is something that we have to be very careful with because it can be quite hurtful and at times downright demeaning.

@Carrie – You’re most welcome.

I love sharp wit. I used to use it all too often, though, and often got myself in trouble at others’ expense. I’m very sarcastic. It was refreshing to read some sarcasm that wasn’t offensive (to anyone important ). Thank you, M. Loach, for the time you put into this “blague” just to make us smile, and sometimes, LOL.

@Mrs. Troop – Glad you enjoyed it. Yep, there is much venomous that could be said about those in today’s news, but I wanted my blog to truly be a vacation from all that “noise.” Ogden Nash is indeed very fun. I don’t remember where I got the quotations of his … I just throw these things into existing files as I receive them or stumble upon them. Who knows how long today’s post has been “aging” in the My Documents\Humor folder?

What a fun post! I DID laugh. And I WAS relieved that you didn’t mention some of today’s news.

Particularly entertaining to me, were your quotes from Ogden Nash. My grandmother loved humorous writing and poetry and I inherited (no one else wanted them) several volumes of Ogden Nash. We often pull them out and read them to each other and laugh hysterically.

Much funnier than “new” humor, I think.
Happy Thursday!
