Short Game 28

According to the Mister, this appeared in an AARP forum:

Q: Someone has told me that menopause is mentioned in the Bible. Is that true? Where can it be found?
A: Yes. Matthew 14:92: “And Mary rode Joseph’s ass all the way to Egypt.

Speaking of the Mister, he’s had two more infections recently (his immune system, in medical vernacular, sucks). Each go-round results in massive amounts of antibiotics and long recovery time. Scares me. I’m just saying.

Rules for portable food: Can’t remember if I ever posted my sandwich rules, but it never hurts to remind you:

  • Never use mustard when mayo is available.
  • If it is good, it will be better with butter.
  • There’s no such thing as too much cheese.
  • Tomatoes ruin anything.
  • There is no such thing as spreadable meat.
  • View ingredients with names like vegemite or marmite with suspicion.
  • Grocers who sell Wonder bread are terrorists.

Speaking of rules, my favorite parrot site lists five parrot rules (What? Of course I have a favorite parrot site. Doesn’t everyone?)

  1. If you like it, it’s mine.
  2. If I can reach it, it’s mine.
  3. If I saw it first, it’s mine.
  4. If I can take it from you, it’s mine.
  5. If it’s mine, it must never appear to be yours in any way.

Personally, I think this rule book describes the current administration rather well.

A kind gent is pulling a thorne out of my paw. Rumor has it I will have a new site soon, that actually works. Stay tuned.

I lost most of my sense of scent some while ago. But lately I’ve been inhaling the aroma of dusty, dry grass everywhere I go. Could this be the scent of the inside of my own head? That would mean I am actually functioning under the brain power of a scarecrow or straw tick mattress. There are whole days on the back nine when I am pretty sure this is true.

    I like your sandwich rules! My grandmother used to put butter on all sandwiches. Ham sandwich? Butter. My particular favorite was a bacon sandwich, with butter. She lived well into her 90s, too.

    I’ve heard about putting butter and peanut butter on a sandwich and that it’s a pretty killer combination….still havent tried it! Ah well, some rainy day I guess….

    Stephanie: So where are the wedding pictures?
    Libby: Bacon with butter. Jeez, wait til McDonald’s hears about that.

    Yikes, I like tomato sandwiches with mustard and NO cheese! Sounds like we’ll be on opposite sides of the build-your-own-sandwich bar. But I do like a good whole-grain bread (Wonder bread? Seriously? Does anyone really eat that?)

    I hope the Mister is feeling better.

    That AARP thing killed me. I hope the Mister is feeling better. I am sure it is really scary.

    I put mustard on pretty much all of my sandwiches. When I was a kid I used to eat mustard sandwiches. I love the stuff. I do like it mixed with Mayo though. And wonder bread? Who eats that stuff?

    Bacon with butter? I think she’s onto something.
