Now the government no longer recommends flossing as there is no proof that it actually helps with oral hygiene.  Well, flossing seemed like a good idea at the time.

A few years back, some one at church started a men’s program because he wanted one.  Then after a few months, that person announced that while he wanted the men’s program, he did not want to be in charge of the program any more.   And therefore, he expected me to take over the program.  When I declined, he got upset with me.  Oh well, he was the one that wanted the program in the first place.

A female attendee for the DNC convention was wearing a brioche with a picture of Hillary in it.  I had to wonder if she was wearing Hillary underwear too?

John Hinckley Jr. has been released from prison because they feel that he is sane and no longer a threat to society.  If course, they didn’t think that he was a threat to society before he shot President Reagan.  And, if he shoots someone again, they will declare him insane and put him back in prison.  Why don’t I feel good about the system?

I just saw an add for a badminton racket.  It cost $210!  Of course, badminton is such a fast paced and precision sport, it only stands to reason that you would need an expensive racket.

The other day, we were in a store that sold ceramic art pieces.  And while the pieces were very nice, I couldn’t imagine paying several hundreds of dollars for a bowl.  And while beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, it is money that does the talking.

Buy One Get One Free.  That is what the sign said above the cat food at the pet store.  So, we picked up two bags.  When we got to the checkout, we learned that if you buy a BAG of cat food, you get a free CAN of cat food.  Some how, that is not what “Buy One Get One Free” means to me.  Oh well.

One evening, my wife and I had a discussion about diet and cholesterol.  Since we seemed to have different ideas, I decided to purchase a book on cholesterol.  What we learned from that book was extremely enlightening.  First of all, there is no correlation between diet and cholesterol.  Second, there is no correlation between cholesterol and heart disease.  Third, people who take statins do not live any longer that those who don’t.  So we quit taking our statins and are no longer concerned about eating fats.

In an effort to quit my Diet Coke habit, I decided to try some carbonated water with flavors.  The water is quite tasty and reminds me of the flavored soda pop I grew up with.  Go figure.

I am thinking about buying a pickup truck.  So, I went to a dealership to see what they cost new.  The salesperson asked me if I or any member of my family worked for the corporation.  When I said “No”, the salesperson said that he would give me that discount anyway.

Then I went to the next dealership and was asked the same question.  And when I answered “No” the salesperson said that they would give me that discount anyway.  I am beginning to think that truck sales are slow this time of the year.
