What is your class reunion like if you were home schooled?

A ponderable with the humor in the vein of Demetri Martin, Steven Martin, in response to last week’s question, “What is your class reunion like if you were home schooled?”, my sailing friend Scott called it a “a Party of One!” which my friend Kevin described as “Very exclusive.” My friend Tracey added, “and the food would be better.”

My friend Richard concluded, “At least you won’t have a bunch of former classmates who will be thinking about how old you now look!” Richard then added, “I recall the great line by O. A. “Bum” Phillips, former coach of the Houston Oilers (now Tennessee Titans) about Don Shula, coach of the Miami Dolphins: “I don’t know if he’s in a class by himself, but it sure don’t take long to call the roll!” “

My organizational behavior guru friend Marya shared, “I was born into 'redneck' (and proud of it), so I would imagine it would be so exciting to see those cousins you always had a crush on! ;-) “ It may be that my friend Royce was thinking alike when he added that it would be “about as exciting as dating 1 of your classmates.”

My friend Swany and dad’s beach buddy Bob concluded that the class reunion would be “a family reunion.” My cousin Wes noted that the two reunions in one “would be a good deal (value).”

My Caribbean sailing friend Jim announced that he finally had a response to these emails, determining such a reunion would be “boring unless you come from a dysfunctional family.” My college roomie John hoped that “there was a network of families, so you may have a few "classmates".

My videographer sailing friend Ivan described the reunion as a “High. Considering how low class most public schools seem to be, what with the overall decorum, conduct, dress, social graces, etiquette, manners, and use of whatever excuse that is for English, I would say my class reunion would be, at least comparatively High Class. As it was, most of my class was high most of the time, especially in class. Wow, I never realized just how "high class" we really were

Please share your thoughts about "things that make you go 'Hmmm' ”:

       Why are men’s undershirts sold in resealable bags?”

Live well...laugh often and heartily…. have a good week and never regret anything that made you smile!
