Back Again

We all live by laws and regulations. Most are written, and we either conform to them, or find ourselves in troupble.

But there are also universal laws, those which are not written but which emerge in our everyday lives.

Let me demonstrate:

1.Law of Mechanical Repair-After your hands become coated with grease, your nose will begin to itch and you'll have to go to the bathroom.

2.Law of Gravity-Any tool, nut, bolt, screw, when dropped, will roll to the least accessible corner.

If I had my choice of attending any major sporting event in the world, I'd choose the Open Golf Tournament (formerly the British Open) no matter where it was played, in England, Ireland, Scotland, or Wales.

I still havent gotten my invitation to Chelsea Clinton's wedding on July 31. The invitation is probably in the mail.

Know what I miss? Old fashioned ice cream shops. Every town in the area once had at least one shop that specialized strictly in ice cream and ice cream sodas.

I love when readers of this column send me stuff like this. See if you agree.

Birds of a feather flock together . . . .and then crap on your car.

A penny saved is a government oversight.

The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight, because by then your body and your fat have gotten to be really good friends.

The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement.

He who hesitates is probably right.

Did you ever notice? The Roman Numerals for forty (40) are XL.'

Summer vacation - a week off from work with pay.

No, summer vacation is so much more.

It's not having to set the alarm clock each morning.

It's getting up to see the sun rise, or rolling over and staying in bed for an extra couple of hours. Whatever you feel like doing.

It's fishing with your son, and wife.

Vacation is sometimes going several days without hearing the telephone ring.

It's catching the fish of a lifetime and sharing the excitement of it with your son.
