At the drive-thru, Mickey answered "Yes!" to "Super-size it?" Now that's a Happy Meal!

Isn't it wonderful that we're not all the same!

I'm embarrassed to admit, it took me a moment.😳

When I was a kid, a party line meant something else. This looks like an upgrade.

As to legal liability or recourse, truth is a complete defense. If you've stolen and I identify you as a thief, I have not defamed you, I have described you. If you are gay -even covertly so- and someone tells others -even though it's no business of the someone or the others- it's the truth, and I don't think the law allows a person to be arrested or prosecuted or sued for spreading a truth, even if the intent was to harm or embarrass; truth stands on its own. On the upside for the involuntarily outed friend -and despite his hurt and/or embarrassment- the truth will set you free. He now no longer needs be afraid of that truth.

WellI fill my dance card! t's a whole week's worth!

Late coming to this thread but this is one of the funniest I've encountered. Thank all of you for making it so hilarious!

In an old Tonight Show skit, Johnny Carson read a list of ten things -last to first- that could increase your safety when in the water. Number 7 was "Do not tease the sharks." Carson's question was, "What six things were more important?"

After ordination, maybe you serve as his altar boy on occasion. This could put the odds in your favor; Lord knows there's precedent!

Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. Unfortunately, this is also my rule when packing for a trip - lots of baggage (and not connected to my past).

We've all seen something like this somewhere - On this spot in 1743 absolutely nothing happened! The happiest of times may be less interesting and more on the boring side of things. "History is not the soil in which happiness grows. The periods of happiness in it are the blank pages of history." - Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

I have a collection of quotes I carry in my head, one for every occasion it sometimes seems. The one for now is from English philosopher and mathematician Alfred North Whitehead, who once observed: The major advances in civilizations are processes that all but wreck the societies in which they occur. Automobiles replacing the horse and carriage era, as well as almost all of the buggy whip industry. Television, described as a vast wasteland by those who preferred radios and reading. The internet which gives us fingertip access to the accumulated knowledge of humankind, even if you have to sift through mountains of falsehoods and nonsense to find it, and which also allows bullies in chat rooms to hide behind a wall of anonymity, spreading ill will as if it were the flu. Perhaps one of the greatest and earliest was Guttenberg and his printing press, making ideas in print much more easily accessible even to the common man - GASP! Each of these technological wonders were marvels to humanity in their times, and each presented challenges that had to be met and dealt with. AI will be the same. It's already producing valuable results in streamlining design and manufacturing processes, but it also gives life to lies and deceptions by unscrupulous predators of other peoples' truths or fortunes. But the fault lies not in our stars but in ourselves, as Shakespear might remind. Not in the technology but in our reasoned adoption of it and in fitting it with appropriate and effective safeguards and restraints, which can only be developed in a wait-and-see and trial-and-error process of observation, feedback, and adjustment. There will be bumps in the road that AI will take us down, but it will, I think, lead to a good place in the end as we assimilate the technology into our day-to-day lives. Now, if only someone in a genome project could find a way to make better humans. Or will we have to that for ourselves. Damn! This could be harder than I thought.

Wow, that looks tight! And the singlet's a snug fit, too.
