Let us be thankful for the fools. But for them the rest of us could not succeed."
Mark Twain
To get started let me share this story with you. My dad's name was Harold. My mom told me this story after my dad had passed.
A new teacher was trying to make use of her psychology courses. She started her class by saying, 'Everyone who thinks they're stupid, stand up!' After a few seconds, Little Harold stood up. The teacher said, 'Do you think you're stupid, Harold?' 'No, ma'am, but I hate to see you standing there all by yourself!'
Should you be struggling for a good April Fool's Day idea, I have listed a few you might be interested in.
1. Buy some underwear, write a co-worker’s name in them, and then leave them on the floor of the office bathroom.
2. Remove the shower head and place a Lifesavers candy in it, then put the head back on.
3. Borrow someone’s cell phone and change the language setting to a foreign language.
4. Paint the tips of someone’s pen and pencil with clear nail polish so none of them work
5. Conference call two people then don’t say anything, just listen.
There that should give you a few ideas to get you started. Have fun!
This has been a week to remember for me to be sure. I have continued to struggle with the CPAP mask. The one I ordered still had not arrived. I would get this all set up, lay down and it would be fine for a while. Somewhere in the night it will leak and air will start hissing. I move it and be for good for a while. Later another hiss and another shift. This went on the rest of the night. Saturday night Barney and Max, the pugs, were sleeping over. Barney was between my legs, Max in my arm pit. I tried turning over and managed to pull the CPAP machine off the shelf. OMG, air hissing all over the place. I tried to jump out of bed but with Barney on top of the covers and my legs under I couldn't get out. Barney would not move. Matter of fact, I wrenched myself out of bed, got the machine back in order. Getting back in bed was not nice. I slept on the edge of the bed next to the pugs, covers covering only my top side. My back was exposed to the elements and so it goes.
I arrived home one night last week. I was met at the door by my sobbing current wife. Tearfully Sue explained, "It's the Pharmacist, he insulted me horribly this morning. I had to call multiple times before he would even answer the phone."
Immediately I drove to the pharmacy to confront the druggist and demand an apology. Before I could say much, the Pharmacist said,” Please listen to my side. This morning the alarm failed to go off so I was late getting up, went without breakfast, hurried out to the car, realized I had locked the house with both house and car keys inside so had to break a window to get my keys.” Driving too fast, I received a speeding ticket, and three blocks from the store, had a flat tire. "When I finally got there, numerous people were waiting for me so all the time I was waiting on them, the phone constantly ring. "I had to break a roll of nickels against the cash register drawer to make change but they spilled all over the floor so I got down on my hands and knees to pick them up while the phone rang. "When I came up, I cracked my head on the open cash drawer which made me stagger back against a showcase with perfume bottles on it, and half of them hit the floor and broke. "Meanwhile, the phone was still ringing but I finally got a chance to answer it. Your wife wanted to know how to use a rectal thermometer. Believe me, Mister, as God is my witness, all I did was tell her!"

We had a power outage at my house this morning and my PC, laptop, TV, DVD, iPad, & my new surround sound music system were all shut down. Not to mention the lights, furnace blower, all the clocks and radios. Then I discovered that my cell phone battery was flat and to top it off it was raining outside, so I couldn't play golf. It would have been a little chilly and windy anyway. I went into the kitchen to make coffee and then I remembered that this also needs power, so I sat and talked with my current wife for a few hours. She seems like a nice person.
My current wife, Sue, as is her penchant struck up a conversation with a couple at Wal-Mart the other day while I was off looking for something. When I returned to them in a short time. Sue introduced me to the husband. Seems they were Native Americans. The wife had strayed off but he told me his wife's American name was Three Horses. Thinking that was a little unique, I asked, “What is your wife's Indian name?” He replied, “Nag, Nag, Nag”.
Help, I have just been attached by the editorial staff. One last big gulp of French Roast and TA!
