01/31/2008: "Lightening It Up"
I had a fellow teacher in Vienna, Austria while I was there who was the drama coach. He did a one-man routine while riding a stationary bike. He titled it “I Wonder” and he spent the hour pondering why things were. I don’t remember most of it. There were the usual ones like “Why do we drive on a Parkway and park on a Driveway?” And the unusual ones like why does the toilet paper on the wall have to come over the top of the roll?
Well I have a new one for him. I know all my naturally balding friends share the same question. You would think if the hair on top my head is going to fall out, at least the rest would. Why is it that the hair growing out of my ears, nose and the bushy eyebrows don’t follow suit? Oh, what I have to deal with!
My son’s teacher shared a few cute puns with him. Here is one I liked:
Gandhi, as you know walked barefoot most of the time, which produced calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail, and, with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. So this made him a super callused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.
Life has been pretty heavy lately. I haven't slept too well the last few nights and the mind's imagination can run wild in the hours of a sleepless night. Not my usual style. I hope you all are finding reasons to laugh.
