Seven words, not the dirty ones….

‘George Carlin died Sunday of heart failure’

Not everyone’s favorite comic, but he made me remember, he made me think, and he made me laugh. From his Catholic school stories, to Al Sleet (the Hippy Dippy Weatherman), to the meaning of words and how people use them, he always had a passion for what he said and he knew how to say it.

Thanks George, you will be missed.

Only the French…

I don’t write this stuff. I found this one on Reuters.

Cemetery full, mayor tells locals not to die

“BORDEAUX, France (Reuters) – The mayor of a village in southwest France has threatened residents with severe punishment if they die, because there is no room left in the overcrowded cemetery to bury them.

It added: “Offenders will be severely punished.”"

What else can I say, really?

Maybe not the best way…

My wife and I were home for lunch and caught a news story about a candlelight vigil that was held for five people who lost there life in a duplex fire. In and of itself, not a remarkable event, but my wife pointed out something I had missed. She turned to me and said:

“Don’t you think its odd to have a candlelight vigil for victims of a fire?”

Just something to think about.

Who thinks up these headlines?

 

“No ruling yet on cause of death in Friday police shooting”

That is an actual Dayton Daily News headline today for a story about the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office and a recent local incident.

Now, I am no coroner, but I am guessing the cause of death in the shooting was bullets.
