Additions to the Equipment List for a Georgia Traffic Policemen

Each year new laws are cobbled together by our Georgia Legislature. If we were paying any attention to what our Legislature has been doing we would start Recalls Petitions for many members of our Legislature to remove them from office because of what they have been cobbling together.

We never pay any attention so we don’t start any Recall Petitions and the Legislature keeps on keeping on having its way with us.

This may be changing. We used to have Football Season to distract us but it is quite possible Football Season may have been recalled this year because of the FauciVirus. This may be the year to clean our legislative house...Or is it?

************

There are always some interesting new laws passed to "protect" us from us. Here is a good example of a new law that is going to be ignored by all of us.

Here is a list of items that a Traffic Policeman must now carry on his person:

Ø Gun

Ø Handcuffs

Ø Money for donuts

Ø Pepper spray

Ø A Taser Gun

Ø A Bathroom Scale

Ø A Tape Measure

What is that you just said? You did not expect the Bathroom Scale and Tape Measure to be on the list. If so, that shows how far you are out of touch with our forward “thinking” Georgia Legislators.

In their infinite “wisdom”, our Legislators have decided that, in order to protect Our Children, we needed a modification to our Already Existing Law that requires Booster Seats for Our Children. 

In the future Children are required to sit in a Booster Chair up until the age of six, with the exception of those Children who weigh more than 40 pounds and/or who are taller than 4 feet 9 inches tall.

Yes, my dear readers, Georgia Traffic Policemen are going to be stopping cars and Weighing and Measuring the Height of our Children!

What is that you just said? Did I hear you say the Policemen will not be stopping and weighing and measuring? Did I hear you say this law is Unenforceable? I agree with you and that also means it is a Waste of Time.

Could it possibly be that Our Legislators are passing laws just to make us think they are doing something important when they are not doing anything of importance? Is that the same as doing nothing?

Would I kid u?

Lagniappe: What is that you just said? Did you just say the law is intended to be enforced by the parents? If that is so, are we going to be putting the parents in jail for Dereliction of Duty, if they do not enforce our Waste of Time Law?

George Washington’s Lie

It has finally happened. President George Washington has told a Lie.

I came out of the blue in the form of a Text Message from the Ole Boy right from Heaven to Earth.

Experts are baffled as to why he would tell such a whopper hundreds of years after he had died.

Here it is...

I, George Washington, do hereby state for the public record that I am proud that Washington, D.C. is named after me.”

It defies credulity that this could be true!  

Fella is baffled also. He was quoted as saying...

“I can’t explain it but its authenticity is without question. The only explanations I can come up with are...

Ø After 288 years since he was born Senility has finally set in.

Ø He is tired of Benjamin Franklin laughing at him every time Congress does something stupid and he feels he can trick the Street Protestors into demanding a name change if they feel he is actually proud of his name being associated with the District of Columbia.

I feel the second bullet above may be the correct explanation because I have it on barely reliable unnamed sources that many of the Street Protestors have been receiving Text Messages from Heaven that go like this...

Ø Don’t ye think Franklin, D.C. has a nice ring to it?

Ø Benjamin, D.C. should have been the name from the very beginning!

Ø Hey hey what do ya say!
    Make my day!
    Benjamin Franklin, D.C.
    Is what the name oughta be!

Since we are into lying, allow me to join in. Everything you have read in this Blog Posting is absolutely true!

Heaven Was A Better Place Before Women Got The Vote

Our Street Rulers of today are taking the position that anyone in our past who was not perfect was, not just not perfect, but they were evil because they were not perfect.

Our Street Rulers of today are also taking the position that what we accept today as right should always have been accepted as right and those in the past who did not accept back then what is accepted as right today were not simply confused or incorrect, they were also evil to the core.

They should have seen the future in the past and changed their past policies to reflect the future while the future was still the future in the past.

I just love it when words come together to make things plain in such a confusing way.

************

Today it is accepted, and not a subject for debate, that Women Have a Right to Vote. Not allowing Women to Vote would be Immoral and Misogynistic. 

If we go back about 100 years, women could not vote. It is, therefore, self evident that all people in Position of Authority who refused to see the future and kept the vote away from women should have their statues torn down.

To carry this “logic” further, if they don’t have statues, then statues ought to be erected to them so those statues could then be torn down.

************

Back to the attention getting subject of this Blog Posting...Heaven Was A Better Place Before Women Got The Vote.

Is it not obvious? Above I referred to “people in position of authority” keeping the vote away from women. “People in Position of Authority” is another way of saying Politicians.

There it is! Heaven was a better place before women had the right to vote because there were no Politicians Allowed Into Heaven.

Lagniappe: Let’s stop and think about this bit of “wisdom” I pecked out above, “To carry this “logic” further, if they don’t have statues, then statues ought to be erected to them so those statues could then be torn down” and, in order to expedite matters, the UPS Box that delivers the Soon To Be Put Up and Then Torn Down Statues ought to have a whole bunch of rope in it.

Helicopter Flying can be very dangerous. Here are the injuries sustained by Richard Toops, Vietnam Helicopter Pilot, as he listed those injuries.

How can one body sustain these many injuries and survive?

As I lay there on the jungle floor, my body in pain, here's the tally on my injuries:

·         one ankle shot, the bones all shattered

·         toes on one foot were all broken and would never regain movement

·         the tibia in one leg was broken

·         the femur was broken and twisted, (when putting my leg back together it was an inch shorter)

·         I had a deep hematoma on the inside of my legs that ran from my knee to my upper thigh

·         one knee was badly damaged and had to be replaced, only regaining limited movement

·         shot in the back, while laying on the ground after the crash, the bullet barely missing my spine

·         my chest was bruised and beaten from bullets, but nothing - I repeat nothing, got through my chicken-plate

·         one hand sustained shrapnel wounds from the bullets coming through the radio console

·         my face was smashed in like it had been hit with a sledgehammer from the crash, the orbital bone, nose, septum, and jaw were all broken and flattened. My septum had a hole in it. 

·         the skin above my brow had been-peeled back, eyes hemorrhaged, and it would be many days before I could see more than a few feet. My face sustained shrapnel wounds and would take over 50 stitches to sew up.

But I was alive. God was with me though all those brave guys around me died. During the next 5 1/2 months of hospital and 2 months of rehab I learned to eat again, walk again, and then got the news that I would never be able to fly again. My military career was over. Of all the injuries, the only one that prevented me from flying again was the destruction of my ankle, limiting the movement necessary for controlling the anti-torque pedals in a helicopter. 

The only thing I ever truly wanted to do in life was now gone. They medically retired me from the Army.  

Helicopters don’t bounce very well.

Some Great Men Have To Die To Become Great Men

Almost 15 years ago I published the list below. I was attacked by a very close friend because he said I said Ulysses S. Grant was a Crook.

I did not say that about Grant. Actually I did not say any of what was said in the list below about any of the List Men because I did not create the list below. I only duplicated someone else’s list. The list below is actually a compilation of what was said about the List Men by people who were living at the same time as the List Men.

According to an article in my newspaper more than 15 years ago the following was said about Past Presidents and others who wanted to be Presidents and then Past Presidents of the Good Ole USofA...

• Jefferson -- An atheist, anarchist, demagogue, coward, trickster and a mountebank (one who sells phony medicine).
• John Adams -- Egotistical, erratic, eccentric and jealous-natured.
• Jackson -- Accused of adultery, gambling, cock-fighting, bigamy, slave trading, drunkenness, theft, lying and murder.
• John Quincy Adams -- Premarital relationship with his wife and traveling on Sunday.
• Henry Clay -- Had systematically violated every one of the Ten Commandments.
• James Polk -- Unimaginative.
• Grant -- A crook, an ignoramus, a drunk, a swindler and an "utterly depraved horse jockey".
• Al Smith -- Since Smith was a Catholic, Hoover accused him of planning to annul all Protestant marriages, if he were elected.

After they died, most of these “sins” were forgotten because the people who were doing the attacking on the List Men while they were alive were now busy attacking other men who were still alive.

This shows to go ya that it’s just not as much fun to attack and/or lie about men who can’t pay attention to your attack and/or your lies because they are no longer around to “enjoy” your efforts on their behalf.

Would I kid u?

Smartfella

Lagniappe: How times have changed. I wonder how many votes were changed throughout our history because the voter found out that a candidate had Traveled on Sunday, Was Unimaginative, was an Utterly Depraved Horse Jockey or really feared the new President was Going to Annul All Protestant Marriages.

If You Are Of a Mind to Always Tell the Truth, Go Right Ahead and Always Tell the Truth but Keep a Watchful Eye on Fulvia

Marcus Tullius Cicero, most commonly known as simply Cicero, was a Roman Statesman, Lawyer and Academic Skeptic Philosopher. 

There was a time when Simply Cicero was doing quite well. 

Simply Cicero played an important role in the politics of the Roman Republic and was a strong advocate for the Republican Principles of the Republic and he was considered one of Rome's Greatest Orators. 

What could go wrong for Simply Cicero? Rome was a Republic and he was an Eloquent Defender of the Republic.

************

Simply Cicero was not only an Eloquent and Gifted Orator when he spoke to his fellow Friends, Romans and Countrymen but he is just as Eloquent when he speaks to us more than 2 millennia after his death.

Now I ask you, who can argue with these Eloquent Bolded Words below?

Actually, a lot of Romans did not like Simply Cicero’s Eloquent Words and a lot of My Fellow Americans today do not like them either...
"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance."

************

My Dear Readers, be careful, if u ever decide that you are going to start speaking the Truth to your Fellow Americans (and any Fellow Romans who might be still out there on the Fruited Plain) because they might treat you like Simply Cicero was treated for speaking the Truth...

Cicero's last words were said to have been, "There is nothing proper about what you are doing, soldier, but do try to kill me properly." 

He bowed to his captors, leaning his head out of the litter in a gladiatorial gesture to ease the task. By baring his neck and throat to the soldiers, he was indicating that he wouldn't resist.

He was decapitated. Then his hands were cut off and nailed along with the head on the Rostra in the Forum according to the tradition of Marius and Sulla, both of whom had displayed the heads of their enemies in the Forum.

According to Cassius Dio, Mark Antony's wife Fulvia took Cicero's head, pulled out his tongue, and jabbed it repeatedly with her hairpin in final revenge against Cicero's power of speech.

************

By Golly, Simply Cicero died on December 7, 43 BC but, from reading the quote below (especially #6), it appears he could actually see into 2020 AD...

“Six mistakes mankind keeps making century after century:
Believing that personal gain is made by crushing others;
Worrying about things that cannot be changed or corrected;
Insisting that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it;
Refusing to set aside trivial preferences;
Neglecting development and refinement of the mind;
Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do.”
― Marcus Tullius Cicero

Would Simply Cicero kid u,

Lagniappe: I just had to add this quote...

“Times are bad. Children no longer obey their parents, and everyone is writing a book.”

It’s Worse Than Even I Ever Thought It Could Be

Here is a snippet from a Blog Posting that Fella released on June 1, 2011. In it Fella explains how Dr. Jonas Salk would never have invented his Salk Polio Vaccine if he had been Constantly Interrupted by his Constantly Interrupting Smartphone...

“Now we are demanding that they tell us news over and over and quicker and quicker. We don’t want to wait for anything. We install apps on our phones to notify us immediately when something is happening that we mistakenly think we can’t do without.

I saw where there is an app that will notify you when a High Speed Pursuit is live on TV.

Can you imagine if Doctor Jonas Salk had been one of these High Speed Pursuit Junkies? Every time he started to make headway on his Polio Vaccine his phone would play the silly little tune he had carefully selected. He would have stopped his research and ran to his TV to watch the latest chase in progress. When he got hack to his work bench, he would have been heard to say, ‘Now where was I?’

If this obsession had been his obsession, we would still have Iron Lungs all over the place. (For those of you who don’t know what an Iron Lung is, Google It!)”

Without his wonderful Vaccine young people would be trapped inside all those Iron Lung Machines instead of running around the Good Ole USofA Burning and Protesting everything in the Good Ole USofA. That would be terrible...Or would it?

************

Why have I pulled up the above information from 2011? It’s because I turned on my Smartphone this morning and was greeted by an invitation from a News Outlet to be constantly notified about darn near anything and everything you can imagine about anything and everything.

If the Inventors like Dr. Salk sign up for all of these Interruptions, it won’t be long before we will be Googling, “Inventors” and “Inventions”.

Here are the Notification Opportunities my Smartphone offered me this morning. They call them “Notifications” but I’m of a mind to think they ought to be called “Interruption Opportunities”....

I have heard about Halle Berry and Jennifer Anniston but I have not heard of any of the rest of these Famous Celebrities.

Do you think these Celebs would care about these headlines below hanging around Internet Articles they were interested in reading?...

• Fella just ate a ham and cheese sandwich.

Getting Around Galilee vs. Getting Around The Earth

All of my Dear Readers who have been Dear for awhile know I can see into the Future. This time my seeing was different because I found myself Looking into the Past and then Looking into the Future from the Past.

You are probably going to find this Blog Posting Confusing and Crazy but there are a lot of Confusing and Crazy things going on in the world right now. If you stop and think a bit, what better place for Confusing and Crazy is there than a Blog named Foolishness...Or Is It?

************

Around 2,000 years ago this conversation took place between God the Father and Jesus Christ his Son...

Ø Jesus said, “I think it is time I go and save the world because things are really going badly down there”.

Ø God the Father said, “Sonny, I think you better wait till 2020. Things will be a lot worse by then”.

Ø Jesus said, “Father, you have never been wrong in the past but are you sure I ought to wait?”

Ø God the Father said, “You are pretty smart yourself. I tell you what I will do. I’ll think about it and let you know.”

God the Father, being a God of his word, got right on with his Think About It Promise...

Ø He looked into the year 2020.

Ø After he stopped shuddering at what he saw, he saw Jesus riding around on an Ass while Texting.

Ø He immediately understood that Ass Transportation was a really slow way to get around.

Ø He also came to an understanding that the area Jesus would have to cover in Galilee in 30AD was not really that big when compared to the Entire Earth in 2020.

Ø Ass Transportation just would not do in 2020.

Ø His Son was going to have to travel by Private Jet in 2020 or, instead of being away from heaven for 33 years, he would have to be gone for a couple of hundred years.

Ø He thought about how much he liked having his Son around and he shuddered again but this time at the thought of such a long separation.

Ø He got out his calculator (Actually his calculator was in his head. He had always been good with numbers.)

Ø He calculated how many Loaves and Fishes Jesus and his Disciples would have to sell to save up $50 Million for a Private Jet.

His decision was made in an instant. He called Jesus back into his presence and said, “Start packing”.

Hearing Anything Repeated On TV A Couple of Thousand Times Makes the Anything You Heard Absolutely a Fact No Matter How Untrue It Is

I love writing titles to my Blog Postings that make My Dear Readers think I have lost it. If this one does not make you think I have lost it, you may be losing it.

Actually I am not losing it because I don’t believe what the above title implies.

We are currently being bombarded with commentary about the wonders of Police Attached See All Body Cameras because...

Ø This is how we can get proof that the Police are really terrible people who enjoy making other people miserable.

Ø This is how we can get proof that the Police are really wonderful people who are always trying to help out everyone they come in contact with.

Ø These all-seeing cameras will show exactly what happens during every minute of every one of the 375,000,000 interactions between these Terrible/Wonderful Police People and their Victims/Beneficiaries.

Because of the above facts it is incumbent upon the American Tax Payer to demand that their taxes be spent to equip every Surviving Police Officer with a See All Body Camera and for each of us to rest assured that our taxes are well spent...Or should we be so assured?

************

In reality what happens with these See All Body Cameras is repeated over and over and Fella is again the only one who notices what’s really going on and he has laid it all out for you in Easy to Understand Bullet Point Clarity...

Ø The Police Officer (PO) approaches the Law Abiding Citizen (LAC).

Ø The PO informs LAC of the reason he stopped LAC.

Ø Information is gathered depending on the Infraction of the Law which LAC has been stopped for.

Ø For example, if LAC had been stopped for suspicion of being a Drunk Driver, a Breathalyzer Test will be performed.

Ø In the case of DUI, if the LAC blows 5 Times the Legal Limit, he will be handcuffed and taken into the Police Precinct for further processing.

All this time the See All Body Camera performs flawlessly. It records (audio and video) everything, however, the handcuffing is where the Fhit Hits the San.

The LAC objects to the Handcuffs and the Prospect of Being Arrested and he attacks the PO. The PO defends himself. In other words a scuffle begins. The See All Body Camera continues to record everything. It is a Modern Policing Marvel...Or is it?

No it’s not! It does record everything but nothing can be seen of what it is recording because the Pictures on the Video are jumping all over the place because of the Scuffling and the Fighting and the Cussing and the Running and the Tackling and the Punching.

The end result is the Video taken by the See All Body Camera Is Completely Useless. It looks like the See All Body Camera had been placed inside a paint can and the paint can had been put into one of those paint mixing machines at Home Depot and the machine has been turned on to “Super Duper Shake”.

All is not lost. In the Trial and on the Nightly News there is video that will clearly show what actually happened.

Justice will be served but that Justice will come from the 27 videos that were taken on the Smartphone’s of the 27 Innocent By Standers that were Standing By during all of what happened or what didn’t happen.

Don’t get me wrong. It’s not that See All Body Cameras are not wonderful. It’s just that 27 Smartphone’s are better and the really good news is the taxpayer does not have to pay for the 27 Smartphones.

Would I kid u?

Are You Still Into Thinking About Things?

A recent Blog Posting (6/20/20) introduced you to Our World In Data. While I was gathering information for that Blog Posting I stumbled across information for this Blog Posting.

I warn you there is no funny in this Blog Posting. Nothing to Laugh at Blog Postings may be an Emerging Trend. Don’t be too hard on me. It’s the world around me that is causing this Emerging Trend to Emerge... 

I don't consider myself to be a Negative Thinker but I am a Realistic Observer of what I see around me. As a result of this mind set, I think it is safe to say that Space Aliens Flying Past the Earth Probably Lock Their Doors.

While this Blog Posting may not be funny I think it is interesting. If you are still interested in thinking about interesting you might find this interesting and I encourage you to read on.

All of Our World In Data’s numbers quoted below are from 2017...

Ø 620,000 people died from Malaria.

Ø 945,000 people died from HIV/AIDS.

Ø 1,600,000 people died from Diarrheal Rated Diseases.

Ø 2,560,000 people died from Pneumonia.

Ø 3,400,000 people suffered Premature Deaths due to Outdoor Air Pollution.

Ø 8,000,000 people died prematurely as a result of smoking.

Ø 9,600,000 people died from the various forms of Cancer. 

If 2017 were a typical year for dying (and who is to say it’s not), that’s a lot of dying in a single year. If you multiply this yearly dying times 219 or 220 years, that’s really really a lot of dying. 

Here is an Ah Ha Moment for you to Ah Ha at... While all these people have been dying, the Earth’s Population increased from 1 Billion in 1800 to 7.7 Billion today.

This is quite a jump especially when you add in the further considerations below...

Ø Millions of people have died from all the many Wars since 1800.

Ø Millions of people have died because they were Murdered since 1800.

Ø Millions of people have died from Accidents...
è Cars Crashes
è Planes Crashing
è Boats Sinking
è Weekends in Chicago (not ready accidents)
è Banana Peels

These further considerations bring to mind what Yul Brenner said to Anna when he used to be the King of Siam, “Etcetera, Etcetera, Etcetera”. 

No wonder the people who are always worrying about Over Population have been so busy worrying about Over Population.

Bankruptcy...Or is it?

This Blog Posting was first written in 2007. I have now updated it and I bring it back because what I was confused about in 2007 is still confusing me in 2020.

I spent over 30 years in the world of business. I rose to the very pinnacle of a Mediocre Automotive Career. I thought I had a firm understanding of business terminology but I must have been wrong. A good example was I thought I understood the term “Bankruptcy”. I was pretty certain it meant...

Ø Your company was in deep dodo.

Ø Your company had had it.

Ø Your company was toast.

Ø Your company was about to close its stores and/or plants.

Ø Your hard work had all gone for naught.

Ø No need to circle the wagons because the Indians already were inside your camp and raising hell.

Ø Your boss was about to nail your office door shut.

Ø The wheels were off the wagon. 

That’s what I thought before but now I have found out that Bankruptcy must be a changing concept because...

Ø Kmart went Bankrupt.

Ø Right after Kmart went Bankrupt Kmart bought Sears and Roebuck.

Ø At that time Sears and Roebuck was hovering on the brink of Bankruptcy.

Ø Eventually Sears and Roebuck did go Bankrupt.

Can you understand my confusion?...

How In The Heck Can A Bankrupted Company Buy Any Other Company Much Less A Company That Is About To Go Bankrupt?

Does anyone know where a Kmart Store is? I went online to find the nearest Kmart from where I hide out. It was a confusing search but it looks like the nearest Kmart is 146 miles away. That’s too far to travel even for a Blue Light Special.

If there is a Statue of the guy who passed over the “Don’t Buy Sears Roebuck” button on his computer and clicked on the “Buy Sears Roebuck” button, that statue ought to be Torn Down.

The Mysterious 27 Club Is Mysterious

I have been known to read excerpts from a book entitled the Book of Unusual Knowledge just for the sheer pleasure of cramming more Unusual Information into my Information Thirsty Head.

Of course, another reason is some of it sounds like Foolishness to me and I know Foolishness.

To be honest with you, I don’t believe in every bit of Unusual Knowledge in my Unusual Knowledge Book. A good example is the Unusual Knowledge on the cover. It states that...

“It took about 30 Million Hours for Stone Age Workers to Build Stonehenge”

Really?! We hardly know what Stonehenge was all about or how big it was but we do know it took 30 Thousand Thousand Hours to Build It?!  

Archaeologists believe it was constructed from 3000 BC to 2000 BC. The surrounding circular earth bank and ditch, which constitute the earliest phase of the monument, have been dated to about 3100 BC. Radiocarbon dating suggests that the first bluestones were raised between 2400 and 2200 BC,[2] although they may have been at the site as early as 3000 BC.

I think the out in this estimate is the word “about”. It’s another way of saying, “It took somewhere between 10 Hours and 30 Million Hours to Build Stonehenge”. That’s as good a guess as any.

On With Today’s Blog Posting which I hope is Interesting to you but It’s Not Funny.

My Mysterious Book has 3 of its 704 pages devoted to, The Mysterious 27 Club where it says that a bunch of Musicians Died at 27 Years of Age.

The legend starts with Robert Johnson a guitarist who died on August 16, 1938 when he was poisoned by the husband of a woman he was involved with. It took awhile for the Club to get going but between 1969 and 2011 6 more Members joined the Club...

Ø Brian Jones was one of the founding members of the Rolling Stones. His life descended into Drug and Alcohol Addiction. He had a very large liver when he was found dead of a Drug Overdose in a swimming pool.

Ø Jimi Hendrix died at 27 in 1970. He had an affinity for Drugs and Alcohol. He died choked on his own vomit after taking too many sleeping pills.

Ø Janis Joplin died at 27 of a Heroin Overdose. She was known to play as hard as she worked, typically with the aid of drugs (including Psychedelics and Methamphetamines) and her signature drink, Southern Comfort Whiskey.

Ø Jim Morrison was yet another hard-living, super-famous, devil-may-care rock star. His group, the Doors, hit the big time in the late 60s and he was dead at 27 by July 3, 1971 from a Drug Overdose.

Ø Kurt Cobain committed suicide in 1994 at age 27 after a lifelong battle with Drug Addiction, Chronic Pain and Debilitating Depression.

Ø Amy Winehouse died in 2011 at 27 after suffering from a Serious Addiction to Drugs and Alcohol. She died of Alcohol Poisoning with a Blood-Alcohol Level 5 Times the Legal Limit.

Where has all these awful stories gotten us. As for me, I am to the point where I see a lot of Foolishness and I have a very serious question...

During the time it took you to read this Blog Posting, how many thousands of people have started taking Drugs for the Very First Time?

They must know about the many famous and not famous lives that have been ruined in the past. Tens of thousands of lives have been and are being snuffed out every day because someone said to them, “One time can’t hurt”.

It’s as simple as this...

If there never had been a first time, there could never be a second time and there would never have been a Last Time.
