Homework time!
Morning.
Lets see what clever ripostes we can generate today!
When you go into dragon country, unless you know the language, make sure you hire a dragoman.
I should add that despite the poor articulation, their stories are delightful. One old gent has moved from assisted living home to assisted living home 4 times.
If I understand him correctly, he was at one place down the street, and they raised his rent one day. He asked why, and the home manager told him, “I happen to know that you have money, and we need to get our money where we can get it.” (He still owns a lot of farm land in Iowa worth over $1,000,000 and won’t sell because of the taxes. He says the government can just wait for their money.)
He replied to this assisted living manager, “Well, sir. You have my 30 days notice!”
So, he had his kids move him to a place in another town (nearer their home) where he was stalked by an elderly lady who wanted to be his girlfriend. So he moved again. Now he’s where Mom is.
My mother (who claims she can’t hear anything you say) heard all of that and commented, “I didn’t know you could move from place to place and try them out!”
Yikes! I’m thinking. His kids have had to do all the arrangements (deposits, movers, setting up the new apartments, etc.) I just hope that Mom doesn’t get the idea to start moving around, ‘cause I’ll have to do all the work! And I don’t live down the street llike Bill’s kids do!
And the madness continues-
The threat of Obamacare’s crash
Just keeps on getting stronger-
Everyone will need a dragoman
If this goes on for much longer
First, one must brave a website
That is infested with crocodiles
Of identity thieves and collectors
With phony, welcoming smiles
Once your information is out there
In cyberspace for all to see
Every deadbeat will get a bite
And you’ll get stuck with the fee...
“How doth the little crocodile
Improve his shining tail
And pour the waters of the Nile
Over every shining scale”
That is what inspired me, for some reason...
