A long time ago, there used to be this channel on cable that endlessly scrolled news stories in large easy to read letters while playing various music. It had the time and weather at the top, and additional crawl at the bottom. Why hasn’t anyone made a website based on this concept yet?
Don’t kid yourself. There isn’t anything on the net that someone else hasn’t thought of before you. They probably said it better than you too. If you’re lucky, you might come up with something clever enough to make people think your personality is far more interesting and tolerable than it actually is in real life.
So it’s been a while since I posted one of these things. I bet some of you were a little worried. You were probably thinking, “Gosh, I sure hope nothing serious happened to good ol’ Dieter.” Oh who am I kidding. If it weren’t for Ginger Jokes ranking so high on Google, no one would know this site even existed.
Times change, but many people get older and neglect to realize that times have changed. They lament that people ought not do “this” or should do “that” as if the lifestyles they grew up with are still relevant to this day. It can be said that we are what we know. We are learning new things every day in this world, so what we are is changing. Those who fail to understand this hurt the future generations by shackling them to outmoded ideas and repeating history’s mistakes.
Actually, I like cats. After my previous cat passed away, I got a new cat that looked like my old cat as a replacement. While I’m not in a hurry to replace the current cat, I’ve already decided the next cat will also be a “ginger moggy”.
You Brits have the funniest expressions…
I’m kind of getting tired of being on unemployment. Recently I discovered that minimum wage was a bit higher than the last time I was job hunting. Because unemployment benefits are based on my last job, I’ll lose even more money if I actually start working again. I may just go that route anyway, so I can have something better to do with my time.
Granted, I stole this old Army joke about placing a private in a an empty room with three ball bearings. In some ways, it’s eerily accurate. Unsupervised privates seem to make a mess of almost anything in their vicinity, then deny any knowledge of how it got that way. They are basically like little kids.
UPDATED VERSION:
It’s been a few years since I first published this panel, and I felt it needed a bit of a brushing up. Here’s a link to the newer version’s page.
Don’t overthink this one. In hindsight, I really didn’t word it very well, and even if I had, it still isn’t that funny. {sigh} You can’t win’em all.
Great news! I’m starting to feel much better now that the pain from the surgery is starting to wear off! On the other hand, I still have no sense of humor. Enjoy!
