Important thoughts

• There are some comparisons that only work one way. Like no one ever looks at a baby’s butt and says, “That’s as smooth as my recently shaved face!” Also worth noting: you shouldn’t ever look at a baby’s butt, but if you do, keep your remarks to yourself.

• If you ever find yourself kidnapped and dragged off to a foreign country, only to wake up to discover that you have to participate in a Greco Roman style wrestling match to the death, my advice is to get onto the mat and then whip out a switchblade and say, “Let’s dance motherfucker.” That kind of coarse language, along with the switchblade, will really intimidate your opponent. Let’s say, just for argument sake, that you don’t have a switchblade on you, or perhaps the kidnappers took your lucky switchblade away before the match, then my suggestion is instead of following the regular rules of Greco Roman style wrestling where biting isn’t allowed, is to bite them. Obviously I’ve given this a fair bit of thought but really, it all boils down to common sense.

• If I was a wasp, I would only buzz around people with curly hair, just to give them a complex. They would wave their hands and arms around, trying to get rid of me, frantically asking, “Why are you only buzzing around me?!?!” Then I would go right by their ears and say, “It’s because of your hair. Hee hee hee.” Oh, you know what else I wish for? I wish I had more free time.

• Whenever I get to the front of a long line at the store and I inform the clerk that I “forgot” my wallet, I will turn the person behind me and ask them to pay for my stuff. If they act all snooty about it I say, “Hey cheapskate, if you’re so poor maybe you should ask your mom to bump your allowance.” That almost never shuts them up but causes even more trouble. Sometimes enough trouble for me to sneak out of the store during the melee and then nobody has to pay for my stuff. It’s a win-win.

• Always carry a pencil with you! You never know when you might find yourself at a crime scene and need to pick up some evidence without contaminating the scene with your fingerprints. Also, they’re good for poking people if you need some attention. Then, when they turn around ask them, “Do you think I would get lead poisoning if I ate this entire pencil?” Then quickly follow up with this other question, “Hey, how much will you give me to eat this pencil?” Based on my experience in these matters, you might find yourself walking away with a cool five bucks.

• One of the things that I like to do if I’m sitting in a waiting room is to look over at someone else, cup my hands around my mouth and go, “CA-CAW! CA-CAW!” Then I’ll repeat it a few seconds later. “CA-CAW! CA-CAW!” Then I’ll fake whisper to them, “You forgot the signal again!” Which just goes to show that I would make an awesome secret agent.

• Most people don’t realize that I can be a real hothead. One of the things that really makes me fly off the handle is when people automatically assume that I’m either a male model or a movie star. It just burns me up! On an unrelated topic, you know what’s a really fun thing to do? Using only your imagination, pretend that everyone thinks you’re super good looking.

If you ever see someone getting caught on fire, like especially below the waist, you should turn to the person next to you and say, “I bet that guy’s a liar.” If they have any kind of sense of humor, you can share a good laugh. But chances are they might just scream, “Call 9-1-1!!!! That poor man is on fire!!!”

• Being a really quick thinker has gotten me out of quite a few jams in my day. Like one time, this guy asked me to borrow 5 bucks but instead of lending him the money or coming up with some kind of excuse why I couldn’t, I threw a handful of sand into his face and ran away. As I ran, I heard him say, “What kind of an idiot keeps a pocket full of sand???!!!” An idiot with 5 bucks, that’s who.

• If you’re ever in a situation where you’re with someone and there’s an awkward silence, try this as a conversation starter: “Hey, what’s up with those birds? Crazy stuff, right?” If they act like they have no idea what you’re talking about, try making up a good story involving birds. That should help get things rolling.

• They estimated the property damage at well over 10 million dollars, the number of wounded was close to a hundred and most experts agree that after all is said and done, those involved would require months, if not years, of therapy. Which just goes to show that you should never run with scissors. Oh wait, did I forget to mention that part of the story where I was running with scissors? Well, I was and just look what happened!

• Sometimes I find that I don’t get the attention that I deserve so I’ve taken to carrying a whip (much like Indiana Jones). The only problem is that I don’t know how to use it properly so I always end up screaming, “Hey, give me some attention!!” and then I throw the whip at someone’s head. The downside is that I always have to politely ask that person to “please give me that whip back.” I’m thinking of getting a gun. Just to fire some shots into the air before I say something profound. That seems like an idea without a trace of flaws.

• People in the business world appreciate those special types who play by their own rules. For instance, when I go into a business meeting, I bring a hamburger with me and when it looks like someone is going to ask me a question, I take a huge bite. Then I hold up a finger while I’m chewing, giving them the impression that I’ll answer as soon as I finish my mouthful of tasty hamburger. Then, once I’m done, I take another big bite. The thing is, I hate meetings.

• When I go to a party, I like to put about 10 pieces of bubble gum in my mouth and go up to a stranger and mumble, “I’m going for the World Record for the largest bubble ever made from 10 pieces of bubble gum.” Then I’ll purposely spit the entire wad of gum into their hair. Then I’ll apologize by saying, “Oh well, at least I still hold the world record for being a lot cooler than you.” My only regret is not attending more parties. Possibly you could invite me more? Think it over.

• I’m a very discerning movie lover. Like after the cable guy has all that sex with the lonely housewife, I would like to see him actually fix the cable.

My Resignation Letter

This is why I am unemployable. I think my hatred of authority made me a great manager and a really shitty employee.

November 19, 2021

Good day,
I regret that our introduction to each other comes within this context, however, I feel that I have been left with little choice but to resign from the Government of Alberta.

It is not the intent of this letter to offer any arguments against the current policy regarding the sharing of health information or any other covid mandate. Those arguments have been made by better qualified men and women, specialists in their respective fields, as well as countless members of the self-educated laity.

To state it baldly, I do not intend to share my personal health information with my employer.

We are being mandated to take a drug, described as a “safe and effective” vaccine, which at best is inefficient and at worst, dangerous and even lethal, in order to stay employed. As a concession, we are being offered to spend our resources of time and money for testing ...

Grammar is important.

An Article About YOU

I may or may not know you personally, but either way, I can tell you some absolute facts about you.   The first is that you are wholly and completely unique.  You are one of a kind and following the rule that rarity can equate to value, then you are priceless.   You are one of the most complex and amazing things on earth.  You specifically are incredible!

You have talent.  You have skills.  You have things to show and teach to others.  You have incredibly strong and complex emotions.  You have done things that have affected the entire world, performing actions that created ripples in a pond that stretch out beyond your wildest imagination.  You have done good things that have helped people (even when, or perhaps especially when, you didn’t even realize it!)  You have changed lives.  These are all facts and they are indisputable.   Even though every human can lay claim to these things, each and every single one of us, you for instance, are wholly unique in what you’ve done, seen, felt, and thought.    

You have the capacity for great good and also for great evil, likely in even measures.   How awe inspiring is that?  You have this unbelievable potential and if you are reading this, then you have purpose and meaning!  You are alive and existing for a reason (or many reasons!)  Your work here is not yet done and neither I, nor you, have any idea when your reason for existing will be complete.    That is just one more amazing, irrefutable fact about you.

I don’t know how old you are, what gender you are, what your sexual orientation is, or what color your skin is.   I don’t know which side of the political spectrum you are on.  I don’t know what movies you like, what kind of music you enjoy or the kinds of food that are most appetizing to you.  I don’t know any of that and it doesn’t matter – all of the things that are wonderful about you that I mentioned above still apply.  

You, my possibly unknown friend, are a wonder and a miracle.   My greatest wish for you is that you accept that fact.   I hope you believe it and I hope that never have cause to question it.   But the cool thing is even if you don’t believe it, it doesn’t stop it from being true.   Even with all your power and strength (of which you have in great amounts!) you cannot change the fact, the unshakeable reality, that you are incredible.  

I can say, with all honesty and sincerity, that if we met, there would be things about you that I would absolutely love.

Thanks for being you.
