The Nailgun
Once upon a time there was a carpenter who made the mistake of putting a nail from a pneumatic nail gun through his foot. He arrived limping into the hospital emergency ward where he was taken into a care tent. The nurse in charge came to see his injury, on the top of the boot 4 inches down from the toe, showed just the head of the nail. The bottom of course, was sticking through his foot and boot sole about two inches. She looked at the boot and then at him and said, “Why didn’t you just stop hammering?”
Father Roger Wrong Again
I went out for lunch with my buddy, Hefty Lefty the other day, and as usual, he was passing on a few tips on how to better myself. He told me in no uncertain terms that I was not to have any potatoes. I had actually ordered some mashed potatoes (which would constitute 2 servings of starch) when he started. "I have told you, that you can't have anything like that, Dog, but you're not listening, as usual."
So today he gives me another reminder of no potatoes in my diet, over the phone. My real problem is for a man my size, I am supposed to have 8 servings of starch per day. How am I going to explain to these poor simple people from the Canadian Diabetes Association, that they are misinformed? Lefty fully admits he was wrong once concerning me...he thought he was wrong, but then it turned out he was right. |
