I used to know and understand the world around me. Now I feel like Sergeant Shultz on Hogan’s Heroes ... “I know nothing!” (I wonder how many out there reading this never heard of Sergeant Shultz and/or Hogan’s Heroes?)
Here is the latest change I don’t understand courtesy of our modern news media...
I used to read things like this in the newspaper:
“What’s Her Name had a child as a result of an adulterous relationship with What’s His Name”.
Now I am reading things like this in the newspaper:
“What’s Her Name produced a child through an encounter with What’s His Name”.
“Adulterous Relationship” I understand but “Encounter” somehow seems different.
To me an encounter is like when you accidently bump into someone on a bus and you say, “Excuse me”. Come to think of it Excuse Me is out also. Now we say, “Get outta my way!”
Oh well, that’s Progress ... Or Is It?
Would I kid u?
Enjoy my mind wanderings. Thought provoking. Serious humor. Stimulating thought since 2006. Nathaniel Hawthorne-"Easy reading is damn hard writing." Tertullian-"Credo quia absurdum", I believe it because it is absurd. John Lennox-"Nonsense remains nonsense, even when talked by world-famous scientists." George Burns-"Someone who makes you laugh is a comedian. Someone who makes you think and then laugh is a humorist." Willy Wonka-"A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men."
