Can you procrastinate now?

In response to last week's question, "Can you procrastinate now?", I'm sure you can appreciate how many of my friends said, "I'll get back to you on that " including my neighbor Dick , cousin Wes , and friends Kathleen, Laurence and Royce. In spite of our diversity, we have the same sense of humor.

My birthday bud Jon responded, "I'll think about it soon" while my social media buddy Jed responded, "I'll think about it later. "

My insightful friend Richard was more positive, writing, "I'd gladly procrastinate now if I could just find the time."

"I do it all the time ," wrote my dad's beach buddy Bob. "My wife keeps asking me to do things every day and I make it a point to put it off till tomorrow. For some things tomorrow never comes."

To conclude, my birthday bud Adam counselled, "Why not put something off today when you can easily procrastinate tomorrow?"

If you are "legally" drunk, what's the problem?

There were many spirited responses to last week's question, "If you are "legally" drunk, what's the problem?" My neigbhor Al observed, "The problem is that everyone else is legally sober."

My sailing buddy Scott realized that being legally drunk may be what’s leading to the regular "Hmmm" discussions about hypothetical questions.

Being positive, my birthday bud Jon agreed with my sailing buddy John, who wrote, "There's no problem at all....unless you happen upon an officer of the law who decides that you would be better off spending the night under official supervision (jail) until you are less "legally drunk"!"

My cheesehead friend Marya said, "There isn't a problem unless it's deer hunting season in WI.....something about guns, ammo and schnapps to make you fear for your life."

My always-positive friend Mindy thought "the bigger issue is legally blind people, not those legally drunk, who are freely roaming around." To which my neighbor Dick asked, "If you are "legally blind" and "legally drunk" are you "legally blind drunk"?

Why do pajama bottoms have pockets?

In response to last week's question, " Why do pajama bottoms have pockets?", my dad's beach buddy Bob realized that "If yours have pockets, you forgot to take your pants off. Or you are mistaking the opening in the front for a pocket."

While my college roomie John asked, "Who wears pajama bottoms?", my tree-loving friend Ty knew that at least that college kids wear them to class.

My neighbor Stan, shared the following during Margarita night, insisting is it real. "Putting your hands in your pockets, a nurse told him, improves circulation." His wife Gail then said, "Right, for pocket pool," to which Stan tried to further explain that it prevents one from folding or laying on one's arms while sleeping."

My running buddy Tony believes, "for the multitaskers, it helps them stay organized even in bed."

Let it to my neighbor Dick, though, to be the pragmatist, saying, "I use mine to carry ID in case I sleep walk a long way from home! "

How come you never hear father-in-law jokes?

In response to last week's question, "How come you never hear father-in-law jokes?", my running buddy Tony concluded, "You don't make jokes about the one that was holding the shotgun at the wedding ." My friend Gian expanded on this by writing, "You never joke about a man who wants to kill you. "

My birthday bud Jon took a dangerous tack, answering "Because mother-in-law jokes are so damn easy! "My dad's beach buddy Bob wrote, "You never make fun of a good egg. " My friend Kevin added, "Just how funny is an old guy drinking a beer and watching sports in a recliner? "

My sailing friend Maria wrote what many men were reluctant to say, "Because fathers-in-law never have a chance to say anything worth joking about, their wives are always doing the talking." My friend Royce described them as "the original silent majority."

To this last point, my friend Richard shared "the famous story about the boy who proudly reports to his mother that he has been cast in the school play. She asks what part he was given. "The father-in-law," he proudly replies. She tells him to go back the next day and demand a speaking role instead." (more from Richard at the end of the email)
