Why Is It ...

… that when I asked a question at a work meeting about whether or not Kevin Bacon calls his nipples “bacon bits,” my boss asked, “How is it that I keep forgetting to fire you?”

… that I don’t think I'm not old, but I realize that I need a little WD-40 and some duct tape every so often to get through the day.

… that the adult version of ♪ ♫ Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes ♪ ♫ is now ♪ ♫ Wallet, Glasses, Keys and Phone ♫ ♪.

… that I am jealous of people who know how to shut up. When I try to stay quiet subtitles come out of my face.

… that I get the feeling that all I want from life is to hunker down, eat pizza and watch movies, but then I also want to break new ground in my profession, or quit society and live in the woods, or go explore the world forever.

… that no one understands that will restart the entire song if you talk over my favorite part.

  1. I had a manager take a break in the middle of a meeting, to fire the guy sitting next to me.

      I taught that little song to Carlos and he promptly forgot his phone!

  6. When it comes to your character, I think we need a few more rows of question marks and bigger ones too!

    😧 Being old is noisy. I have found there's not enough WD-40/duct tape in the world to keep my rattletrap body from signaling my approach. People ahead of me on the sidewalk turn my direction to see who's chewin' on Rice Krispies and rubber bands!! I'll spare you the discussions of my exhaust-system!! 💨🤣

    1. Glad you like it; it proves how much alike we all really are.

      And Google can be a pain for some.

  14. I am not familiar with the song you are referring to, but I think I heard it as a punch line for the joke about a priest leaving a whorehouse - while crossing himself, he mutters "Spectacles, testicles, wallet, and watch."

  15. Oh yeah! Those subtitles have been my downfall. And I’ve been singing “Whatta ya do, shoot the swans?” all day because San Geraldo interrupted me this morning.

      I may have to incorporate that into my repertoire.

  16. My son's daycare did Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes a lot and he was the littlest so he was very confused at first
