April 13, 2009 - Leave of Absence

Jabberwockers:

I apologize for the lack of posts the last 2 weeks. There was a disturbance in "The Force" as there was a death in the family.

The passing of my Father-In-Law lead to some Pet Peeves as well as some Friday Funnies.

The Pet Peeves will be fully addressed in the coming weeks. Here are the funnies:

When I shared with some, that my 96 year-old old Father-in-Law had died, several people inquired about how he died.

Not one to let a stupid question go unpunished, I replied:

"His chute didn't open."

"He hit a tree while snowboarding."

"He went on pleasure ride with Ted Kennedy."

You get the point.

Ninety-six is a pretty good track record. Sometimes we get old and that's that.

Steven Wright once said that he knows when he is going to die because his birth certificate has an expiration date. There you go.
