YOU KNOW YOU’RE GETTING OLD WHEN:
You remember when a judge made decisions based on the law and not the source of their appointment.

THE UNICORN DILEMMA
Noah must have been extremely talented in sexing animals. But no one is perfect.
And that is, perhaps, the reason why we have no unicorns today.
The commonly held theory as to why unicorns do not exist is that they were left behind with the beginning of the rain. It is possible they weren’t left behind but were, in fact, passengers on the ark.
It may be that they do not exist today for in selecting the couple to be saved, Noah made a mistake.
A NEW SERIES: WALT’S OPINIONS
WALT’S OPINIONS
This post will initiate a new series of posts, Walt’s Opinions.
To put matters in perspective I will quote a saying of a fellow officer I knew in the air force. Here is the PG version: Opinions are like anuses. Everyone has one.
Here you will find my opinions. I doubt that many of you will agree with most of what I have to say, but some knowledge may be offered and, hopefully, resulting in some consideration of your opinion on the subject being considered.
YOU KNOW YOU’RE GETTING OLD WHEN:
You remember presses involved in self-publishing were once called vanity presses.
UKRAINE

LESIURE SUITS CAUSE CANCER
LEISURE SUITS CAUSE CANCER
I bet that caught your attention.
This piece goes along with my series of, YOU KNOW YOU’RE GETTING OLD WHEN, because this statement comes from a TV show from a while ago which I found to be hilarious. The show began as Fernwood Tonight and morphed into America Tonight.
The host was played by Martin Mull. His presentation mocks the job of host. The band was Happy Klien and the Mirth Makers. Happy Klien exudes the excitement of a brick.
That’s the atmosphere which made this program so great. It was mocking late night shows by comically presenting a show which appeared to be serious.
In the skit involving the leisure suits, a ‘scientist’, an obvious huckster, said he found that leisure suits caused cancer. He had with him rats dressed in little leisure suits.
They don’t make them like that anymore.
If they did, there would probably be a leisure suit society, if one exists, on the phone to a lawyer.
