About Me

My photo
Hello my fellow Politiores Troglodytes. This Blog is a collection of Posts, Poems, & Short Stories that I write on a daily basis. If you find it entertaining, informative, and controversial, then I have done my job properly. Thank goodness too, because Karma has been on my case of late. I'm supposed to bring fifty people into the fold or I'll have to give back the part of Einstein's brain I inherited. No, I'm not one of the Scientists who got a piece of his brain when he died. Karma said, "Eat this knowledge. It'll make you smarter!" The bargain I made with Karma was, if I could change fifty people into Politiores Populos, I would be rewarded with my very own Lamborghini. So, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Like what you're reading, then read on. P.S. Populo is Latin for people. Politiores is Latin for educated. Troglodytes is English for troglodytes. And Einstein's brain was stolen by Thomas Stoltz Harvey after his death in 1955 and eventually divvied up into 240 pieces. If you just read that last sentence, then you have just learned something and I'm just that much closer to fulfilling my commitment to Karma!

Group Texting Dad Jokes

A couple of years ago,
I started
Group Texting
my kids.
It is my way,
of letting them know,
that they are in my thoughts everyday.
Even though I am retired,
and I would like to point out that I was very lucky to be able to retire at the age of
Fifty-Three,
and have a lot more free time on my hands now,
my kids are busy as ever with living their lives.
They don't always have the time,
to take out of their busy schedules,
to just sit around
and chat about the weather with me on their cellphone.
So I
Group Text
them a
"Dad Joke"
on a daily basis to keep in touch.
It also keeps them on their toes.
A lot of times,
it also starts a conversation between them,
about how corny I am.
In this way,
I have them communicating with each other too!
What?
You don't know what a
"Dad Joke"
is?
"Dad joke" is a pejorative term used to describe a corny or predictable joke, typically a pun.[1] Generally inoffensive, dad jokes are traditionally told by fathers among family, either with sincere humorous intent, or to intentionally provoke a negative reaction to its "dagginess". One of the most common "dad jokes" goes as follows: A child will say to the dad, "I am hungry," to which the dad will reply, "Hi, Hungry, I am Dad." Many dad jokes may be considered anti-jokes, deriving humor from an intentionally unfunny punchline. Wikipedia

 My oldest daughter thinks I am so corny with my
"Dad Jokes"
that she thinks I am ruining my kids lives!
My grandson asked me to make him a sandwich. I said,
"Poof, you are a sandwich!"
This is,

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
