Sunday Flotsam and Jetsam
Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
In the coming years look forward to people parroting the line, "If we could find $48 billion to support Ukraine, surely we could find $X billion to support (fill in the blank)" on almost any occasion. Keep in mind we’ll be talking about BILLIONS of TAX dollars... Who knew? Erwin Schrodinger didn't even own a cat... If you Tweeted, "Joe Biden wears an adult diaper because he's lost control of his bladder" - could Twitter suspend you for misinformation? How could they prove that isn't the truth?... "Standing outside Cracker Barrel having a smoke" - if I ever write a country music song that'll be the first line... Harrison Ford is set to star in a new Indiana Jones movie. Haven't we suffered enough?... Shouldn't laugh at this but couldn't help myself... Albino Nudists would be a good name for a band... As a nation we seem to have lost rationality. People don't know how to think for themselves or to be able to distinguish true from false anymore. We should should be teaching logic in school... Did you know that Adam Smith planned to have two follow up books after The Wealth of Nations? The first was to be on literature and philosophy while the second was to be on law and government... This was also very clever... The NFL franchise in Washington was formerly known as the Redskins, and then Football Team, and now the Commanders. I think the Babylon Bee was correct in saying the Washington Lizard People should be the team name and that's how I'll try to think of them from now on... Hill I'll die on - the hardest thing to do in baseball is to bunt for the cycle... GO CELTICS!!!… As always if this column has made you smile or think - don't be afraid to hit the like button.

When the Washington Bullets decided to change their name (too violent, you know) Don Imus and his gang offered several suggestions for a new one. I think the best was "The Washington Crackpipes."
Mentioning Schrödinger made me think of one of my favorite geek jokes:
Werner Heisenberg, Erwin Schrödinger, and Georg Ohm are out for a ride when they are pulled over by a traffic policeman. He asks Heisenberg, the driver, “Do you know how fast you were going?”
“No,” replies Heisenberg, but I know exactly where I am.”
“You were doing 120 kmh in a 60 kmh zone!” says the cop.
“Thanks a lot,” says Heisenberg disgustedly. “Now I'm lost.”
The cop is suspicious and looks in the trunk. “My God,” he exclaims. “There's a dead cat in here!”
“It is now, you asshole,” says Schrödinger.
The cop decides to arrest the three men. Ohm resists.
