Some things to ponder

Do a trillion (10^12) microphones make up a megaphone?

Why in the vacuum-cleaner ads does the cord stay meekly and obediently out of the way but when I vacuum the apartment, the cord insists on horning in on the job and it takes a minimum of one hand to hold the cord out of the way so I don't trip over the damn thing?

A pickup line guaranteed to get you roundly slapped immediately:

"Nice legs!  What time do they open?"

Two observations:

*  Commercials are almost certainly choreographed (observe cord dress)

*  Most vacuum cleaners have a cord clip underneath the handle that you are supposed to use to avoid stepping on the cord (not that I use it, personally)

When I am vacuuming an oblong space, like a hallway that leads to bedrooms, I often stop midway through just to pull a length of the cord back so that the majority is sitting next to the outlet, away from feet that might step on it.

Have the bands Kansas & Toto ever toured together? If they did, would they let Ozzy Osborne join them & name their tour "The Wizard of Oz tour"?

I asked this when I turned 40...what kind of wine goes with Metamucil (my mother thought I was asking a riddle rather than poking fun at people who ask what kind of wine goes with different things, and a play on George Carlin's famous question, what kind of wine goes with Cap'n Crunch?)

Observation.  You do realize that the cheese wheel from the Cheez-it commercials is immature as a method of survival, right?

This is also true of us who are approaching the crest of the hill. I tell everyone that I refuse to age. I try to do fun things that seem immature but it helps me feel a bit younger. I try to ignore the signs of aging. However, I have to stay aware of the changes so I can try to stay ahead of any possible problems.

I'm 43 now...I tell people I plan on living til I am around 120 (if Jacob can do it, so can I  ). But I want my old age to be active, not sedentary in a bed waiting to die.  So I will continue to do things that make me feel young until I can't do anything at all.
