  • One afternoon a lawyer was riding in his limousine through town when he saw an old client and friend, Joe, in the park eating grass.

    Troubled, he asked his driver to stop and rolled down his window to shout, “Hey Joe! Why are you eating grass?”

    “We don’t have any money for food,” Joe replied gesturing towards his family close by. “We have to eat grass.”

    “Well, then, you can come with me to my house and I’ll feed you,” the lawyer said.

    “Thank you sir,” Joe replied. “But I also I have a wife and two children with me.”

    “Bring them along,” the lawyer cheerily replied.

    They all entered the car and zipped off to the lawyers home.

    On the way, Joe turned to the lawyer and said, “Sir, you are too kind. Thank you for taking all of us with you.”

    The lawyer replied, “Glad to do it, Joe! You’ll really love my place. The grass there is at least a foot high.”







  • Alternative title is “ISRA 88”. Just watched it. It’s interesting, but a little clunky. Maybe not as bad as the 3.6/10, but I feel it misses the mark. They didn’t make the alternate realities portion of the story as compelling (or real) as they could’ve. It could be a stage play with how low-tech the sets/environment are, but I can overlook that, so nbd. Just didn’t have enough oomph. ;)

    Oh, and Adrienne Barbeau is in it!





  • Many years ago I had an orthopoedic surgeon that was always late. 30-40 minutes ofttimes. Yes, it was an inconvenience, but first appointment with him this happened, I was irritated about it until he got in the room. He was contrite and apologetic and had incredibly good bedside manners. He spoke to you and not dismissively down as many docs can. He listened completely to what I had to say and welcomed questions. All of this ended up taking much longer than a normal get in/out physician. Now I understood why and accepted his tardiness as I wanted that extra care he so readily dispensed. Great doctor, but now long retired.
