We celebrated Earth Day on the 22nd…humankind’s attempt at reducing waste, thereby saving the planet. Would the same term be used on the 7th planet from the sun or would they hopefully opt for another word?
“You know” is interjected so seldom these days, that it now catches our attention when it’s invoked. Remember when Mark Spitz did it so much that it caused sponsors to stop using him as a spokesman? Another phrase dying a slow death is, “Duh.” Fret not, it’s already been replaced by, “I mean.” Many folks use it and it makes no sense. Troy Aikman said it about 7,000 times during the past football season playoffs. I’m wondering when we’ll see the demise of, “and also.” Not to be outdone is, “I was gonna say” followed by the person saying what they were gonna say! Let us not overlook those who say, "exactly" instead of the good, old-fashioned, "yes!"
While watching “Friends” on late night teevee, do you find yourself doing that 4 clap thingie during the musical intro?
Cubans are now allowed to have a cell phone. Annual contract cost is equal to about 6 months wages. Phone and time charges are extra. That probably takes care of the other 6 months wages. Wotta world..."Ola, Juan...I'm dying of hunger-o, but I gotta phone!"
TeeVee commercial: Nivea says to rub their product on to prevent or get rid of cellulite. The women in the commercial look to be no older than 18 and I'd be surprised if they weighed any more than the average anorexic.
Bait & Bait: Read the small print on any car commercial. "Starts at $19,222......Model shown $37,489" or words to that effect. Okaaaaaaaaaay!
Wake UP, baseball! The term should be, "RsBI." They all say, "RBIs." That being true, why don't they pronounce it as, "Run Batted Ins?"
