The Early Bird Gets The Worm
----------------------------
Ok, what is the deal with "The early bird gets the worm"? He gets up
early, and all he gets is a worm? It says "the worm," which means one
single worm. That seems not very fair, for a bird that goes through the
trouble of getting up early.
Myself, I would rather sleep late and get the "worm and grub" brunch
special at the local diner. I can't imagine that an early 5:00 AM worm is
going to taste that much better than a plate of later 11:00 AM worms.
And, speaking of which, what's the deal with the early worm? He gets up
early, to get a start on the day, because he has loads of work to do, and
he gets eaten by a bird! Where is the moral of the story, when the lazy
worms don't get eaten? Isn't that hypocritical? Seems to me that all the
smart worms either work nights, or sleep late and get up after lunch.
Isn't that sending the wrong message to our kids?
The fence
---------
One night at an Air Force Base in Washington, I was dispatched to check out
the security fence where an alarm had gone off. The fence was at the end
of the base runway. When I got to the scene, I found that a racoon was the
culpit, so I ran around and flapped my arms to scare off the animal.
Suddenly an air-traffic controller came over the public-address system and
announced loudly, "Attention to the airman at the end of the runway. You
are cleared for takeoff."
Anniversary
-----------
On their 50th wedding anniversary, a couple summed up the reason for their
long and happy marriage.
The husband said, "I have tried never to be selfish. After all, there is
no 'I' in the word 'marriage.'''
The wife said, "For my part, I have never corrected my husband's spelling."
