Satire: How Would You Handle These Ethical Dilemmas?
I'll give you some choices. We used to hear more about ethical dilemmas than we do now. Possibly because ethics have become so scarce. With the dissolving of ethics, what few ethical dilemmas we hear about have changed in nature. So let’s take a look at modern ethical dilemmas.
Satire: 10 Ways You Can Tell Someone is really Your Friend
Who do you consider your best friends? Why do you feel that way about them? Do you count on them when you need help?. I’m reminded of an old comedy clip where one guy is telling the other guy how to deal with a snake bite. At one point the instructor says suck the venom out of the wound.
Satire: Do You Have a Dog or a Fur Baby?
Use this checklist to find out. When I was growing, my father had dogs. Hunting dogs to be exact. My dad’s philosophy about dogs was they had to earn their keep. I guess they had to help keep food on the table. In addition, they stayed outside. There was also a casual view of dogs running around loose.
Opinion: Jerry Reinsdorf Speaks, Nausea Ensues
Reinsdorf keeps making abad situation worse. The Chicago White Sox are hurtling towards the worst record in the history of MLB, but you can always count on Sox owner, Jerry Reinsdorf, to make things worse. Reinsdorf has a way of dashing any hope before it can take root. Reinsdorf made this statement regarding the White Sox situation Wednesday:
12 Things You Didn't Know About Jayne Mansfield
While Marilyn Monroe might have been the preeminent blond bombshell in Hollywood in the 50s and 60s, Jayne Mansfield at least tried to give her a run for her money. She was noted for her publicity stunts and what I’ll call “controversial lifestyle.” While her death was horrific, it’s not what I’m going to dwell on.
Satire: Why Computers Scare People
They may be afraid for a reason. Old people sometimes are ridiculed because of their unfamiliarity with technology, or their outright fear of it. But upon further review, some of those fears might not be totally unfounded. Or in some cases, the terminology that has popped up on some computer monitors has been terrifying.
Satire: Thought for the Day
Over the years, I’ve seen variations of, “Thought for the Day” programs. Generally, the thoughts are meant to be profound, or at least useful. Personally, I try to post to my blog every day. I’ve found the hardest part of doing this is having an idea that will sustain 400+ words.
Satire: Pay Attention to Life's Disclaimers
They may give you an important heads u. We hear disclaimers all the time. Basically, if you ask the question, “What could go wrong?’ the disclaimer will answer that. Take for example, when an investment firm says, “Your investments may vary,” it’s their way of covering their butts. Back when I actually had money in a 401K, which was around circa 2008, I lost some money. I don’t believe my investment counselor did, just me.
15 Facts About Alabama
They have agreat college football team. On a few occasions I’ve driven through Alabama on my drives between Oklahoma and Florida. I’ve seen some beautiful scenery featuring lots of trees and not a lot of traffic. Going through the tunnel in Mobile isn’t my favorite thing, but all in all, it’s not a bad drive. I checked and that tunnel in Mobile is called “The George Wallace Tunnel.” That gives some insight into the state’s history.
Fashion Faux Pas: A Guide to Avoiding Style Blunders
Do us all a favor and follow this suggestions. As I sit here writing this piece, I’m wearing myOld Florida Guyensemble.That entails shorts and a pullover shirt.But I believe they go together becausewhen I asked my wife if they went together, sheshrugged. That’s basically a nonverbal ehh, which, for me, passes for approval.
Satire: We Need New Standards of Measurements
Some things aren't accurately measured. For years mankind has wrestled with the concept of devising a universal standard of measuring things. For example, the United States uses inches and feet whereas the rest of the world uses meters. I’ve also heard of cubits, which I understand is about 18 inches. But beyond distance, we need units of measurements of other things.
Looking Back at Old School Technology
Things have changed mightily in office over the years. A lot of things we took for granted in offices are no longer there. Things like office workers. In addition to office workers, lots of other office stuff has gone the way of the dinosaur. Let’s return to those days of yesteryear.
Satire: A Few Things That Make No Senses
Maybe you've noticed them. Throughout history and extending down through today, some things simply make no sense. Take the pirate in the cartoon for example. In that line of work, you would think a severance package is something you would negotiate. I’m guessing these guys weren’t union and the job market was tight. On to a couple of modern questions.
Satire: What if Dogs Really are Good Judges of Character?
The ramifications are huge. We’ve all heard that dogs are good judges of character. While we may have heard that, it’s possible that we took that with a grain of salt. Well, a recent study has indicated that there is some actual truth to that but within limits. If dogs are actually proven to be good judges of character the ramifications are huge. There’s a lot to unpack.
Satire: Ways to Look Smart
Tou don't have to be smart to look smart. Let’s face it, we are not all brainiacs. But we don’t have to tell the world that.If we keep our mouths shut and don’t dress and groom ourselves like morons, it can be our secret. So, here are some ways we can actually look smarter.Who knows, by not looking like an idiot, maybe we won’t act like one.
Satire: 10 Tips for Getting off to a Good Start on Your New Job
And this from a guy who's had a lot of new jobs. During my working career, I’ve had a lot of jobs. Most of them bad ones. I have a term for them, “disposal jobs.” That’s a job you take when you are desperate for a paycheck, so you take any job you can get. It’s theshotgun marriageof employment and doesn’t usually last long.
