Subj : Re: Various Things To : Barry Martin From : Daryl Stout Date : Fri Aug 28 2020 22:37:00 Barry, DS> I wonder where the little booger got gas for his car...since he DS> did save a bunch of money on his car insurance. BM> If he's smart he would have gotten his gas at a low price with other BM> savings like those with grocery store ponts! For what they charge with the premiums, he should've had the money!! The insurance company commercials are getting really bizarre... 1) Allstate -- Mayhem (my favorite). You can find several of them on YouTube. I especially like the one as "the mean little kid", throwing a temper tantrum in the back of the car, and throwing stuff everywhere, screaming "MOMMY!! MOMMY!! MOMMY!! MOMMY!!". 2) Progressive -- One they have now where "things aren't normal", as these females are ending their conversation thread with "da", as if they were Swedish. Now, I've got a craving for those meatballs. :P 3) Liberty Mutual -- These are now dealing with Doug and his emu. The 2 that come to mind are: A) On the plane, he is asked if he has a special permit for his "assistive bird". B) On a workout, the exercise instructor says "Pick up the pace, bird legs!!". Doug says "Don't talk to Lema like that!!"...to which, she replies "I'm talking to you!!" BM> Must have been an undesireable human if both are trying to keep on BM> Earth! It makes you wonder. I love garden salads, but they have to be made with iceberg lettuce. I can't eat romaine or leaf lettuce. But, the iceberg lettuce has a large amount of fiber, as if I was drinking prune juice. DS> ... Digital watch owners, your days are numbered! BM> That reminded me: at the store I wore an analog watch -- bring up the BM> arm, glance at the time, done. No buttons to push. Would get asked BM> what time it was and I soon learned most had no concept of 'quarter of' BM> and the like, so had to say "8:45". Then for some reason that also BM> created a problem, as did "8:10" and even "8:05"; the 'marker' times BM> (where the clock digits are or would be) seemed not be be giving a BM> sense of accuracy like a digital display would, even though both analog BM> and digital times have "8:15". Ended up learning to lie a bit: if BM> really-truely 8:15 would say '8:16' and never be questioned like I had BM> been with '8:15'. Tell them it's "daytime" or "nighttime", and be done with it...but, they might say "No [kidding], Sherlock!!" :P Daryl BM> ... Q: How long does take to put on a pair of underwear? BM> A: A brief second. That Depends if you try to do it with your shoes on. (Yeah, TMI). Daryl ....
