I Wonder... Was reading recently that George Washinton wore wooden dentures. That got me thinking. I wonder if he lived in fear of woodpeckers, termites and the emerald ash borer?

See, There is Humour Everywhere
Carol, my wife, was sitting in our family room reading Elle Magazine while I worked on this blog. When she read me this short quote from an article she was reading I burst out laughing.
The author of this article was a woman named Clara Young and she said that before she sat down to write she went out for lunch to a nice restaurant. One of the lunch menu items was lamb's testicles on a bed of lamb's lettuce. Her comment was, " Some feminists would say that testicles are exactly what is wrong with the world and that the safest place for them is on a plate."
I couldn't stop laughing. and immediately thought of the quote from George Bernard Shaw when he said," When you find something funny search it for hidden wisdom and truth."
I think there is both truth and wisdom in this brief story.
It's good that we can laugh at ourselves. Isn't it men?

I love humorous oneliners. They are fun, insightful and easy to use to brighten your conversation.
* Most people would rather defend to the death your right to say something rather than have to listen to you say it in the first place.
* Make sure that you’re never so busy learning the tricks of the trade that you never learn the trade.
* Inflation is just a drop in the buck.
* Winter is the time of the year when it’s too cold to do the jobs around the house that didn’t get done in the summer because it was too hot.

Humorous Verse
Hi. I was giving a talk to a group in Hamilton Ontario Canada recently. As I always do I checked out the staff bulletin board to get a sense of the organization's culture. I find that the staff bulletin board gives you a good sense of what's going on in the company. There, on the bulletin board, was this little verse. I liked it and wrote it down in my ever-present notebook. Here it is.
I wish I was a glowworm
Because glowworms are never glum
How can you be gloomy
When the sun shines out your bum?
Wisdom and humor are everywhere!
If you ever need a fun speaker with a great message give me a shout. Mike?
