Why Is It ...

… that when someone says they don’t like me, I instantly check my pay stub to see if it makes a difference.

… that my favorite childhood memory is when the bills didn’t have my name on them.

… that many people have told me that I have two faults: the first is that I don’t listen and the second is ... some other shiz they were rattling on about.

… that most people don’t realize that the worst thing about parallel parking is the witnesses.

… that when someone is rude to me in the grocery store and then they get behind me in line, I invite everyone behind them to go ahead of me; today I had the time.

… that I am not looking for a staycation but a maycation; I may come back, I may not.

… the people who think I’m too much need to go find less; I’m not running a clearance sale here.

… that while I get paid to be nice at work I don’t understand why my friends and family think they should get that shiz for free.

… that, while I am no chef, I can really stir the pot.

… that people often to say they're ‘happy as a clam’? A clam?? You mean those tiny things with no brain that chill on the bottom of the ocean all day in their own little private shells and have absolutely no concept of what’s going on in the … oh, nevermind, I get it now.

  1. Believe me, it's nice when you can cook and stir up the pot at the same time.

    🤪🤣 That last one aged me fast...it made me think of the old "B.C." comic strip! Clams were, apparently, not so chill. One of the most famous of the strips showed a clam walking around and BC started yelling "clams got legs!" The clam said (yes, no big deal that clams could speak), "now I have to kill him."
    Then, over several more days of the strip, the clams negotiated with BC that they wouldn't kill him if he would shutup about their legs. Finally, BC agreed to the deal and the clam said "shake on it." 😲 BC screams "Clams got hands!!" 🤣
    It's a classic and there were posters and memes of it. So, I'm not sure clams are happy, but they are quiet and secretive and willing to murder! 🤭

    1. If clams have legs and arms I will never go into the ocean again ... get enough of them pissed off and they can drag you under!!!

  7. "Oblivious as a clam" is probably more accurate!

  8. I imagine that clams are happy until someone gets the idea in their head that they want chowder.

  11. Whenever I need a kick in the activist, I go to Brother Bob and his unyielding spirit of resistance. He is the ultimate warrior, the voice of the disenfranchised, my hope for a better future for our country whose leader is a man with a soul so dead he never to himself has said this is my own, my native land -
    unless he makes a buck from it.
    Onward, Bob.

  12. The list of "Why Is it?" questions about you is now as long as Route 66 where no doubt you get your kicks. "C'm'ere Bob. I wanna kick you dude!"

  14. When someone says they don't like me I say "that's okay, I don't need everyone to like me". It's like saying thank you for an insult, stops them right in their tracks.

  15. Uuggghhh parallel parking, once the bane of my life. I remember parking in town one day and my son said "don't worry mom, we can catch a bus to the kerb"! I should have left him to walk home!
