Oh, and as a point of qualification…. The word “weird” is a weird word because it doesn’t follow the “I” before “E” except after “C” absolute rule…. That is the weird explanation about why weird is weird.

Like it or not, but there are basic differences between the branches of the United States Armed Services.
If you give the command “SECURE THAT BUILDING”, to a sailor, a soldier, a Marine and an airman, here is what each of the different services will do to carry out that order:
The NAVY will turn out the lights and lock the doors.
The ARMY will surround the building with defensive fortifications, tanks and concertina wire.
The MARINE CORPS will assault the building, killing everyone inside using overlapping fields of fire from all appropriate points on the perimeter.
The AIR FORCE would take out a three-year lease with an option to buy the building.
And you Sand Crabs (Navy jargon for civilians) think I’m kidding. Boy, have I got news for you.
Make the impossible look easy.
One of the most important jobs a father can do for his children is to snap pictures of them while they are in the most ridiculous and super embarrassing poses from their baby-hood.
Such is the example with this picture:
Frank was about 18 months old and LOVED to crawl into the laundry hamper and stick things in his mouth. I would NEVER humiliate Frank with the picture of him with my BVD’s as his headgear.
I DARE Frank to post embarrassing pictures of me on his blog. ***I*** have more brains than to allow myself to be photographed in such a way that it can be used as blackmail. THAT will happen ONLY when I am old, senile and living in a 3rd-rate Mexican nursing home in Tijuana.
“Don’t confuse what is impressive with what is important.” (E. M. Forster in “Maurice”…..I can’t take credit for the quote… I gleaned it somewhere off the Internet.)
