June means weddings and anniversaries (including my own 44th). Ben forwarded this comparison as to why a man should get a DOG, not a wife. Oh, my. HE said this, not ME. CHOICE – A DOG OR A WIFE? Dogs don’t cry Dogs love it when your friends come over…

When I say… “I am a Christian” I’m not shouting “I’m clean livin’.” I’m whispering “I was lost, Now I’m found and forgiven.” When I say… “I am a Christian” I don’t speak of this with pride. I’m confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide. When…

[Fixated all week on “words” and came across this old poem of more oddities in English words. You’re welcome.] We’ll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes; But the plural of ox should be oxen not oxes. One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese, Yet…

In “The Book of Lists” (Irving Wallace) there are a number of words which are considered the most beautiful SOUNDING in the English language. Sadly, because of bad association or definition, we often don’t use many of them. So try out this list, and say these aloud to get the…

(Can’t get off of the “word” theme this week of blogging, so will add to it some “Daffy-nitions”) Sacrilegious: Reading your Bible in bed Smelling Salts: Sailors with body odor Yale: Where they lock up criminals in Stockholm Stagnation: A country with no women Panhandler: CNA at the nursing home…

I am amazed at what I learn reading on the internet. So many minor, trivial or worthless thoughts from my friends and neighbors. Reading blogs, Facebook and Twitter yesterday I found out these examples: Did you know that six out of seven dwarves are not Happy? Did you know that…

I’ve learned never to trust atoms. They make up everything. I saw a fellow holding a pig while riding in a rickshaw. Guess Hong Kong has a different definition of “pulled pork”. I was thinking ‘What’s so great about living in Switzerland?’ Well, their flag is a big plus. I…

[Old friend Steve forwarded this thought I considered worthy of my personal implementation and sharing with you all on the more serious weekend edition of the grif.net blog] A growing number of people find that wearing a pedometer helps them increase their level of daily exercise. The step-counting device is…

When looking for summer jobs, I came across these reports: The Custodians of America were brushing up their resumes since their work was not really picking up. The Balloon Makers formed a union because their work was rapidly expanding. The Fortune Tellers did not form a union because it became…

Once upon a time in the Kingdom of Heaven, God went missing for six days. Eventually, Michael the archangel found him, resting on the seventh day. He inquired of God, “Where have you been?” God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds, “Look Michael,…

The tire is only flat on the bottom. The trouble with political jokes is they get elected. The severity of the itch is proportional to the reach. The adage ‘Man cannot live by bread alone’ omits the certain need for a roll of duct tape and a can of WD-40.…

Little Tommy had been to a birthday party at a friend’s house. Knowing his sweet tooth, Tommy’s mother looked straight into his eyes and said, “I hope you didn’t ask for a second piece of cake.” “No, but I asked Mrs. Smith for the recipe so you could make some…

It was Memorial Day Weekend. Jack took a long look at his speedometer before slowing down: 73 in a 55 zone. The flashing red in his rearview mirror insisted he pull over quickly. Fourth time in as many months. How could a guy get caught so often? He slumped into…
