RANDOM THOUGHTS: SMOKEY THE BEAR

Smokey the BearYou can't teach an old dog new tricks but you can teach him to confuse onlookers into thinking you have. … You can lead a horse to water but it takes a lot of effort to hold them under. …Noted a map that reports the richest person in each of the 50 United States. Washington of course, has Bill Gates with $80 billion. But sadly, there are three sates, Alaska North Dakota, and Maine, that have richest people worth less that a billion each. How would you like to show up at the club and someone asks your net worth and you have to reply in muffled tones “$700 million”? Let’s help these poor rich people out and get them over the top. Let’s make the poor rich richer. Sponsored by the Billionaire Boys’ Club.

Where’d I put my keys? What are we doing?” … Boeing and South African Airways have teamed up to make jet fuel from tobacco. You will now also be able to buy regular, extra long, menthol and high-test cigarettes. I suppose there’s no need to label with “May be hazardous to your health.”
