Deep Thoughts - Vol 2


Continuing the New Year no resolutions resolution - replaced by an offering of deep thoughts, a tradition, if 2 years in a row (2021) qualifies as a tradition. 

2022. 2nd annual Deep Thoughts - You know, Jack Handey-like, without the schmalzy music.




What do you suppose people who were alive B.C.E were thinking as each year got closer and closer to zero?

Pretty sure the earth is screwed. We need an exit strategy.

How many coats do you need to live in Minnesota you wonder?  6. 8 if you're a biker - with up to 4 in use on a single day. Caveat: Valid for males of the species only.  

I can’t explain what I’m feeling but I can find you a song that will.

In view of the fact that God limited man’s intelligence it seems unjust He did not do likewise  for stupidity. (borrowed from Konrad Adenauer)

I see no good reason to make the bed every day. Convince me.

I got a pair of socks this Christmas labeled "L" & "R" on the toes. Life just continues to get more and more complicated.

Windchill factor is a cruel weather stat whose only purpose is to give you something to talk about.  Let's get rid of it. Climate is already scary enough.

OPS and WAR are worthless statistics. Nobody understands them anyway.

Some sports defy explanation. Ice fishing. Cricket. Hurling. Baseball. Tiddlywinks. 

Diabetes is a cruel disease. It inflicts feelings of guilt nearly every day.

Every man has a plan that will not work. 'Fortune favors the brave' for example.

Unfortunately there is no vaccine for idiocy.

Toilets and zippers have little changed in the past 100 years. So much for progress.

What are the odds that every single t-shirt coming out of the dryer is inside-out? Yup. 90%.

I wish for you peace of mind. Or is it piece? Homonyms are tricky.

As you age you learn anatomy like a med student, naming all the body parts causing you pain.

Opposable thumbs distinguish we humans but let’s not go overboard on praise for opposing.

A good book enriches the mind and soothes the soul.

You may think you are as wonderful as your dog thinks you are, but you might want to get a second opinion from your cat.

Fail + fail + fail is the road to success. But after thrice you might recheck the map.

Godwin's Law has a new corollary.  Any one or thing you dislike gets labeled Communist.

Just a guess, but I'm pretty sure WWJD doesn't include pseudo-profanity.

A good poem can make your eyes water.

There are few things more frustrating than ... forgetting what you were about to say.

Health care workers.  You have my heart.
