I just watched a segment on TV about how a CEO was upset because his minions were not paying proper attention to him when he was speaking to them.
Here’s what the CEO was upset about (in Bullet Point Format) …
Recently the CEO was addressing his company’s top 326 executives.
While he was speaking to them, he noticed that many of them were looking at their smartphones.
Worst than looking at their smartphones, they were texting using their smartphones.
He wondered what they were texting about.
He pondered that their texting must be very important, or they would not have dared to be texting while he was talking to them because He Is Very Important and they are not.
Here is what he found out…
>You want to do lunch today?
>Did you see that linebacker drop that sure interception with 10 seconds left in the big game last night that would have been a sure pick six and would have won the game for the chipmunks?
>How do you spell CEO?
He became very mad, and he ordered everyone who was looking at their smartphones while he was talking to be fired and ushered out of the auditorium by security.
After those 312 former executives were removed, he was shocked to see there were only 14 executives left in his audience and 13 of them were sleeping while he was speaking and 1 had forgotten his smartphone at home.
I’m sorry I got so carried away with my Bullet Points that I lapsed into nonsense…Or am I? Or did I?

Now for the Everywhere Every Day Truth referred to in the subject of this Blog Posting.
This happens every day on every news show because of the Bottom of the Screen Scroll. Did you just draw a blank and say to yourself, “Self, what’s a Bottom of the Screen Scroll?” My Dear Readers, you see the Bottom of the Screen Scroll every day and you didn’t know what you are looking at. Allow me to explain (in Bullet Point Format) …
How could it happen that all of the TV watchers in the Good Ole USofA had just been told that Toledo, Ohio’s Air Force had just dropped an Atomic Bomb on New York City and killed everyone in New York City but all of the TV watchers did not know that Toledo had just done what it just did?
They did not know what Toledo just did because of the Bottom of the Screen Scroll.
(Oh, I forgot, you don’t know what the Bottom of the Screen Scroll is.)
On all our news shows there is a continuous word scroll that gives us breaking news.
It is an insult to the Very Intelligent and Experienced Expert who had been invited onto the news show to tell us what he knows about the very important subject he is an expert in.
The scroll ensures that the TV watchers are unaware of whatever the Invited Expert is telling them because all of them are reading the Bottom of the Screen Scroll and not listening to the Invited Smart Expert.
In this case the TV watchers were adsorbed by the Bottom of the Screen Scroll which was telling them that Brad Pitt just punched Leonardo DiCaprio in the mouth and broke a tooth in a Bowling Alley because Leonardo had laughed while Brad was about to throw his ball causing him to not make his spare which would have allowed him to break 100.
My Dear Readers, the above Foolishness is Fella’s way of telling you that he thinks it is Silly to Invite a World Renowned Expert to come on your news show to tell you what he knows and then Scroll Other Important or Unimportant Information to make sure the watcher of your news show is paying little or no attention to what your Invited World Renowned Expert has to say.
Would I kid u?
