Please note the Gadget on the left called “Share it”. If you are entertained by this Foolishness (or one in the future), use “Share it” to tell your friends or enemies about it on FaceBook or Twitter.
One of the biggest benefits of being a faithful reader of Foolishness...Or Is It? is that it trains you become more observant about what is happening around you.
Those of you who are regular readers are well aware of the specifics of what I have selected to be the subject of this blog posting. They rest of you could hone your observation skills by spending your day going back and reading old postings. Those that do go back and read old postings have a delightful day ahead of them because humor never goes out of style.
It is a Law of Nature that only so many words can be spoken in a day.
Current momentous events have created an extreme increase in spoken words. The Arab Spring, the GOP Primary Campaigns, the upcoming Presidential Campaign and the Super Bowl have been using up our daily Word Quota so fast that many of our Talking Heads on TV have been forced to slow down.
During the run up to Super Bowl Sunday this unsettling word shortage became apparent when several Sporty Talking Heads began having difficulty getting words to actually come out of their mouths. The time between word eruptions had lengthened to as much as 5 to 7 seconds. In one case a Sporty Talking Head could not utter a single word for 27 seconds. The look on his face during this episode was painful to behold.
Not only is the actual total volume of words affected by this law of nature but certain individual words are being driven into extreme short supply like...
- Nuclear...Researchers have reported that nuclear is the seventh word spoken in every sentence about Iran.
- Lindsay and Lohan...One TV Station’s CEO said he was not going to go to commercials if Lindsey or Lohan had been spoken within the last 30 minutes. His station’s advertising revenue fell 98% and he was fired.
- Eli and Manning...These are going to be with us for a long time to come.
There were some words which saw a meteoric rise only to fall into oblivion just as fast as they shot up...
- Herman and Cain...Here is proof that, if you want to run for President, don’t make the mistake of telling anyone anything about where you worked before you ran for President.
There are words I wish would disappear forever...
- Gloria and Allred...The good news about her is she only enjoys 15 minutes of fame every 18 months. The bad news is 18 months comes around every 18 months.
Trust me on this one, it may seem like an eternity but one day the Presidential Campaign will be over. Once it is history we will all have 27 days of peace and quiet before the 2016 Campaign starts up.
Would I kid u?
