Balanced Diet

Eustace was beginning to think that a balanced diet was largely influenced by one’s perspective–the first lady encouraged fruit such as apples, cherries, and melon, and vegetables like cabbage or green beans as part of a balanced diet.  From his view, a balanced diet was getting the right mix of field mice, cotton rats, snakes, frogs and the odd vole, and while he conceded that his diet might be a little protein heavy, he felt the fact that most of his diet choices were vegetarian themselves should count for something. . . . .  David, Sf.G.

Owl Years

Cyndie, while watching Cesar Millan, the “Dog Whisperer”, heard him trying to clarify the concept of “dog years” .  He indicated that each dog year is thought to be 7-7 1/2 human years by researchers at the University of Phoenix (on line) and others.  Cyndie wondered how that translated to owl years or even if any research had been done.  Maybe this could be the subject for her doctoral thesis . . . .  David, Sf.G.

Get Your Head On Straight

Juney couldn’t help it; she was a gawker, a rubbernecker, always turning around to look at something.  This drove her husband, Ken, nuts.  “Juney,” he said, “keep focused, get your head on straight, you’ll get run over by a car if you don’t quit gawking.”   . . . .  David, Sf.G.

Why the Long Face?

Bonnie’s friends couldn’t help but ask, “You’re a beautiful blonde; you have just been elected Prom Queen, so why the long face?”. . . .  David, Sf.G.

All You Can Eat

Karen had a love/hate relationship with the “All You Can Eat” places; at the time it seemed to be such a good deal, and she could eat a lot, really get her money’s worth.  The next morning, though, she always felt bloated and sluggish, not to  mention dealing with  a fair dose of guilt, and besides the food being lukewarm and mediocre on a good day, who knew what the person in line ahead of you may have left in the sweet and sour chicken? . . . .  David, Sf.G.

Internet Ticket Scam

William  soon realized he’d been conned; the Craig’s List ad read “Scheduling conflicts force Nigerian Diplomat to sell Lady Gaga tickets for the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo at discount”.  Lady Gaga wasn’t even on the bill for the rodeo this year–something about a meat conflict. . . . .  David, Sf.G.
