In response to last week’s
imponderable question, “Why do we choose from just two people to run for president and over fifty for Miss America?,” my dad’s beach buddy Bob observed “There
is much more to look at that doesn't challenge your intelligence.” My engineering friend Steve called out, “Because
Miss America isn’t as corrupt and doesn’t have someone to “collude” with as the
Dems and Reps do with each other,” to which my birthday bud Jon simplified it, ”Which
would you rather look at fifty of?”
My social media friend Mark
lamented, “That is all the qualified people they can find. Although they were
wrong to think there were two qualified candidates for president last time.”
When my equestrian friend Royce
responded, “Ya know I've been asking myself that same question for way too many
years,” my cycling friend Ted answered, “Because Miss America has so many more
better candidates!”
My workforce training friend Jonathan
pointed out, “Uhm...have you seen the field if Democrats lately; looks like
there may be one candidate for every state by the end of the summer,” to which my
temple friends Kevin and Bill agreed, “The way the Dems are joining the race,
we may well get to 50 before it's over.”
And my biz development friend
Ray noted, “Have you ever compared the presidents to the Miss America
contestants? Hands down, it’s who wins that "beauty" contest!”
Please send me your thoughts about this week's "things that
make you go 'Hmmm' ":
What do people
who write "u" instead of "you" do with all the time they
save? (from my interfaith friend Ann)
Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that
made you smile!
