No bad read goes unpublished.

I was once picked last for solitaire.

If bed bugs come from beds, where do cockroaches come from?

What is the tooth fairy doing with all of those teeth?

No good pea goes unhummused.

If Cher married Sting, would their kids be allowed to have names that were just syllables?

Who saves all that daylight, and what are they doing with it all autumn and winter?

Why did Oxford think English Literature needed a Companion?

Misery stalks Company.

If anyone says to you, 'I'm not a racist, but...,' they are probably a racist butt.

We now let computers ask human beings if they are robots.

Can body language ever be censored, or provide us with subtitles?

Readers are leaders; writers are fighters.

Thank you, Isaac

    😂 Genius! What are they doing with all that daylight? Question that needs an answer! 🩵

  • Thank you for the chuckles😂🤣💖💜

  • Those are some very deep questions and wise statements. I'll leave you with this one. When you order food at the restaurant, don't you then become a waiter?

    Fresh perspective! We have so many everyday questions that sometimes just go unanswered, eh?

    So many funny reality checks. Daylight savings really is so we can be messed up for a week . Great job 😊

    I wish I could come up with a few quips of my own, but it's getting too late for an old guy to think that hard. Funny stuff!

  • Delightful. Though in fairness, everyone gets picked last for solitaire.
