I'll just have water

I found a dollar in an empty cigarette pack in a vacant lot once.

A buddy found a $50 stuffed into an empty beer or soda can under the old abandoned railroad loading dock in my home town. We were thrilled, but looking back on it much later, I realized it must have probably been the savings of one of the semi-homeless people that frequented the area.

I say "semi-homeless", because my home town had no real homeless problem of which I was aware, but there were three individuals who for mental health reasons, had estranged themselves from their families and chose to often reside in or around the old railroad yard. One of them was rumored to be a pedophile, the other two just a little nutty.

There were always homeless guys wondering around our end of town when I was a kid (60s-70s). We called them bums. Mom said to call them hobos. Anyhow, they were always guys that looked much older than they probably were and just wanted to be left alone. They lived in the woods behind the county home from time to time. If we came across their belongings, we'd just go around or take another way. There weren't any rails around that end of town, so how they wondered out there is anybody's guess.

Like most here, I will fix vehicles and equipment myself. Hate doing it, usually tears my back up and I feel it for days, but, I don't like paying $100+ /hour labor charge.

Although I'm thinking differently now. Had to replace the front end on the 1 ton we had. I figure its either I hurt my back or hurt the wallet. My back won.

STAB STAB STAB.... let's try your other arm....

NOOOOOooooo!!!! Please find the lady that knows how to do it. There's always one in a hospital somewhere.

Ahhhh. Thanks.

When bloodmobile ghouls bug me as I'm walking, I tell them it's unnatural for a lawyer to GIVE blood.

A few years ago I walked out of the grocery store and noticed a bank envelope behind my truck. It didn't look empty so I picked it up and found $50 in it. Yes! My lucky day! Looking in it again I saw a bank reciept. No! Somebody else's lucky day!


Sometime around 1980 one of the banks in my home town had a habit of stashing the money shipment into the trash can if things got busy while they were processing it. One day they forgot about it. I don't recall or perhaps never knew how much was involved but it allegedly went to the incinerator. The janitor said "if it's in the trash can it's trash."

I don't care what he drove. It wasn't my money.

There is no point in arguing with dirty people. I should know better. They never listen, and it makes them very angry.

"My dog's tongue is clean!" "There's no point in washing after pooping unless you see poop on your hands!" "I don't have to wash after using a public toilet if I only pee!" "Only a sissy flushes a public toilet with his shoe!"

I've heard it all.

These people are the reason cruise ships have to sail home with norovirus outbreaks.

I'm glad you are such an expert in public health!
I have a bidet, and 99% of the time it does the cleaning quite adequately with just the water jet. Mine is electric, so the water is heated and washes the oils and fats away. I do check results, and rarely is further washing needed. TP still works better for a final cleaning if it is wet. And yes, I do avoid public germs and kissing dogs.

I''ve gone greener: use both sides and the edges

Where's that dog tongue when you need it?
