That Makes Absolutely No Sense At All

An aphorism is a short proverb that’s almost a cliche. Here are those I hast corrupted.

  • The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach—then out his small intestine, large intestine, and sphincter.

  • Necessity is the mother of Turducken.

  • The only way round is through. That’s how you eat a cupcake.

  • Monkey see, monkey doodle.

  • “Home sweet home” is the beginning of childhood obesity.

  • The early bird catches the worm still passed out on the front lawn, in the bushes, from last night’s party.

  • An apple a day keeps Steve Jobs at bay.

  • United we stand, divided we do our algebra homework.

  • Home is where the heart is. Living room is where the butt is.

  • Never look a gift horse in the mouth. It might be full of noodles.

For the backstory on this humor thing, see my previous post, I Can Learn To Be Funny?

Do you think that's where tequila worms come from?

Thank you, Jennifer! Phew, sometimes I don't know what works and what doesn't.

Anizo 100% Reality Mind

Image
“Anizo 100% Reality Mind.” What this means, I have no idea. A friend found it living in a vending machine on the street in China and brought it back to Boston for me. The one-inch tall yellow plastic guy (I think it’s a he) has a smile, a blue tear, a pair of hand holes, a growth atop his head pierced clean through, and, on his backside, a man getting squeezed between two lines that I hope do not represent butt cheeks. The warning printed on the paper insert commands, “Do not use as lifeguard equipment.” Anizo and I, we’re inseparable. Anizo 100% Reality Mind!

Illustration Friday: Hide

Image
Maurice’s cunning helped him evade that hungry field sparrow, and in doing so he discovered something new: his special affinity for flowers. He decided to go for it. He attained his Master’s Degree in floral arrangement from Chicago School of Flower Design. Today Maurice owns and manages a successful retail floral operation behind the shed there, to the left of the plastic green leprechaun. This is my drawing for the Illustration Friday ( IF website ) assignment, this time to illustrate "Hide". Click it for a bigger version.

Beyond MBA: Business Tips From The Memogenda

Image
Are you a mover and a shaker? A decider? Do you put the “man” in “ man agement” (and in “wo man ”)? Duh, or you wouldn’t be here today. Now that we’ve finished our three-hour vodka martini luncheon, I’d like to share something important with you. It’s about the Memogenda on your steel gray decision-making desk. The spiral notebook in embossed Leathertex paper. I don’t care what Irish illuminated manuscript calligraphers say, paper is so much easier to write on than dead animal skins. And the Book of Kells could have cut off a hundred years if those monks had Bics. ( At left: Unhappy monks. ) That’s but one reason why I so love my Memogenda ( at right ), and consult it for many a critical business decision. The system is simple to “manage” (har har!) and, if you open to Page 1, you’ll see the necessary instructions. I shan’t go over them. Do it yourself: thanks to the unique Memogenda system...
