What am I talking about? I guess it is best to give some familiar examples…
>We used to have a Secretary of War but now we have a Secretary of Defense.
>We used to have Congressmen but now we have Congresspersons.
>We used to have Jungles but now we have Rain Forests.
>We used to have City Dumps but now we have Transfer Stations.
>We used to have bombs that were called Bunker Busters but now we have Peacekeeper Missiles.
The Smartfella? and his wife are into watching TV Detective Shows. I have picked up on a change that must have come from the People Who Change Things which, at first, had me confused but since I am sly, cunning and alert I did figure it out but not without some difficulty.
If someone had referred to the Smartfella? as a “Person of Interest” this is the kind of thing that would have run through my mind…
>I most certainly am a Person of Interest because I am witty, as is evident by my ability to create these highly entertaining bits of Foolishness.
>Of course I am a Person of Interest because I waste a lot of time coming up with these worthless bits of Foolishness.
>I definitely am a Person of Interest because you people who read my mind wanderings spend a lot of time laughing at and/or trying to figure out what the heck I am talking about.
I have finally figured out that a Person of Interest is a person who is suspected of committing a crime. They used to be called Suspects but now they are Interesting People.
What’s next? Since there appears to be a desperate movement afoot to not call anything anything Male or Masculine or He-man, are we on the cusp of having the People Who Change Things redo the title of the person who delivers our mail from a Mail Man to a Person Person?
Would I kid u?
