One Mans Opinion

Part II havent written a lot about government over the last year or so, Iguess I was basking with great enjoyment in the warm and fuzzyglow of Obamary. But things do change. Recent events and trendsin local government require the expression of my opinion.

First, the trip to Austria. It makes perfect sense to me that if Europe is interested, or more so clamor-ing for products we can produce and transport, then Mayor Johnson and Mr. Stuber an engineer,should represent the city in any discussions, I would even hazard to say that the leader of the bio-mass project at the Herty Foundation should also be invited to participate at the citys expense. Theback and forth of who said what, when, is just another waste of time. You should have told us; Idid tell you; No you didnt; Yes, I did; OK, I didnt; Now what?; OK, you can go. Whew. At

least common sense prevailed, but I guess thats politics. Id like to note, that to my limited knowl-edge, there is no truth to the rumor that Mr. Thomas recommended the use of the eeny, meeny,miney, moe system for choosing persons to make the next international trip.

Part IIThe purchase and use of Tazers by local law enforcement has been in the news lately, with the CityCouncil and County Commission both receiving demonstrations and considering the issue. Id like tostop and commend our County Manager, Russ Dont Taze Me Bro Abolt for his courage in volun-teering to be Tazed. At least now he has firsthand knowledge of what kind of distress that suspectedcriminals and other dangerous persons would be subjected to if the device is obtained and used.Unfortunately, Mr. Abolt does not get to vote on the issue, only make recommendations. Perhaps, all

Council Members and Commissioners should volunteer to experience the Tazer before they vote.OK, I know thats not going to happen, but how about sticking a 9 volt battery to their tongue, youdbe surprised how much that tingles, maybe they could extrapolate the feeling from the Tazer fromthat experience. Better yet, why not put Tazers in their seats and the next time we get the Yes, youdid; No, I didnt discussion at either of their meetings, citizens could go to their computers and ifenough voted, they could Taze the member during the meeting.....hmmmm.

Part IIILastly, Franchise Fees, this one is so easy, that A Caveman Could Do It. If the money comes fromthe unincorporated area, then it should go back to the unincorporated area. Why do I have to paythe fees out here, only for the money to go only to the city? Cmon, Fair is Fair. Lets settle this, evenif the General Assembly doesnt pass new legislation. Dont make me bring out my Tazer. (No, I dontown one, dont want one, and wouldnt know where to get one, so dont bother me, its satire.)

Just, One Mans Opinion.Live Long and Prosper

Since I had been selling water beds for

almost four years, I thought I had

heard every question imaginable. But

then a customer asked me, "Can you

deliver it filled with water?"

Stunned, I replied, "Are you kidding?

It would weigh over twelve hundred

pounds!"

After a short pause, she said, "Could

you do it if I helped you carry it in?"

At the UPS cargo phone center where Iworked, a woman called and said, "Ineed a baseball quote."

I immediately answered with YogiBerra's famous "It ain't over 'til it'sover!"

There was a brief moment of silence be-fore the woman asked, "What wasthat?"

"You asked me for a baseball quote," Iresponded, "and that was the first thingthat came into my head."

"Oh," she replied. "My husband told meto call and get a baseball quote."

I asked if she wanted to ship something,and she said she did. Then it dawned onme: "Do you mean you want a ballparkfigure?"

The politician was sitting at

his campaign headquarterswhen the phone rang. He lis-

tened intently, and after a mo-

ment his face brightened.

When he hung up, he immedi-

ately phoned his mother to tell

her the good news.

"Ma," he shouted, "the results

are in. I won the election!"

"Honestly?"

The politician's smiled faded.

"Aw, heck, Ma, why bring that

up at a time like this?"

A member of the Senate, known for his hottemper and acid tongue, explodes one day in

mid session and begins to shout,

"Half of this Senate is made up of cowards

and corrupt politicians!"

All the other Senators plead to the angry

member that he withdraw his statement, or be

removed from the remainder of the session.

After a long pause, the angry member ac-

cepted.

"Ok" he said, "I withdraw what I said. Half of

this Senate is NOT made up of cowards and

corrupt politicians!"

There once was a 94 year old nun back in the

1890s whose worn out body began to surren-

der. Her doctor prescribed for her a shot of

whiskey three times a day, to relax her. How-

ever, not to be lured into worldly pleasures,

she huffily declined.

But her mother superior knew the elderly sis-

ter loved milk. So she instructed the kitchen to

spike the milk three times a day. Eventually,the elderly pious one approached her final

hour. As several sisters gathered around her

at bedside, the mother superior asked if she

wanted to leave them any words of wisdom.

"Oh, yes," she replied. "Never sell that cow!"

Late one night I stopped at one of those

24-hour gas station mini-marts to get

myself a fresh-brewed cup of coffee.

When I picked up the pot, I could not

help noticing that the brew was as blackas asphalt and just about as thick.

"How old is the coffee you have here?"

I asked the woman who was standing

behind the store counter.

She shrugged. "I don't know. I've only

been working here two weeks."

A diary of one person's love of snow...

December 8: 6:00 PM. It started to snow. The firstsnow of the season: we took out cocktails and sat forhours by the window, watching the huge soft flakesdrift down. It looked like a Grandma Moses Print: soromantic, we felt like newlyweds again. I love snow!

December 9: Woke to a blanket of crystal whitesnow covering the landscape. What a fantastic sight!Moving here was the best idea I've ever had. Shov-eled for the 1st time in years & felt like a boy again.Did the both driveway and sidewalks. Later, thesnowplow came along & I got to shovel again. Whata perfect life.

December 12: Sun melted all the lovely snow but

good neighbor said we'd have a white Christmas.Then commented that by the end on Winter, I'dnever want to see snow again.

December 14: Snow, Lovely snow! 8" last night andcold, too. Wind took my breath away but warmed upshoveling. This is the life! Later the snowplow cameback, again, but I'm getting in better shape. Just wishI didn't huff & puff so much.

December 15: 20 inches forecast. Sold the van and

bought a 4x4; snow tires for the wife's car & 2 extra.Shoveled, then stocked the freezer. Wife wants awood stove in case power goes off. I think that'ssilly - we aren't in Alaska...

December 16: Ice storm this morning. Landed onmy butt trying to salt the driveway. Hurt real bad.Wife laughed for an hour. (I think that was verycruel.)

December 17: Too cold and icy to go anywhere.

Power was off for 5 hours. Piled on blankets to staywarm with nothing to do but stare at the wife & trynot to upset her. Can't believe I'm freezing to deathin my own living room. (Won't admit that I shouldhave bought wood stove: hate it when she's right.)

December 20: Power's back on and had another 14"of the stuff. Shoveled all day. Snowplow came bytwice. Kids too busy playing hockey to help.

Continued

Hardware store sold out. Next shipment of snow blow-ers due in March. Neighbor says I have to shovel orcity will have it done and bill me. (Think he's lying...)

December 22: White Christmas!!! 13" more of thewhite stuff & its so cold, it won't melt 'til August.

Tried to shovel - just too tired. Tried to get help fromneighbor who has snow plow on his truck but he saidhe was too busy. (Sure he's lying.)

December 23: Only 2" of snow today and had warmedup to 0. Wife wanted me to decorate the front of thehouse. What is she nuts!!! Why didn't she tell me to dothat a month ago? Says she did. (Think she's lying.)

December 24: 6". Snow packed so hard by snowplow,I broke the shovel. I'm gonna get that snow plowdriver. (I know he waits around the corner to see if I'm

finished, then roars by at a 100, sending snow flyingall over.) Wife wanted me to sing carols with her &open our presents, but I was busy watching for thedarn snow plow.

December 25: Merry Christmas. Another 20" of theslop. Snowed in again & the idea of shoveling makesmy blood boil. I hate snow! Then the snowplow drivercame by asking for a donation. I wanted to hit himover the head with my shovel. Wife says I have a badattitude. I think she's an idiot and if I have to watch"It's a Wonderful Life" one more time, I'll throw her inthe snow bank.

December 26: Still snowed in.

December 27: Temperature dropped another 30 de-grees and the pipes froze.

December 28: Warmed up to -25. Still snowed in andthe wife is making me crazy!!!!!!

December 29: Another 10" & neighbor says I have to

shovel the roof before it caves in. That's the silliestthing I ever heard. How dumb does he think I am?

December 30: Roof caved in. Another 9" in forecast.

December 31: Set fire to what's left of the house: nomore shoveling.

January 8: I feel sooooo good. I just love those littlewhite pills they keep giving me. Why am I tied to thebed?

"Listen," his friend suggested, "Whydon't you find a girl who's just likeyour dear ole Mother?"

Many weeks past before Manny andhis friend got together again.

"So Manny. Did you find the perfectgirl yet. One that's just like yourMother?"
