One Minute Wit
A Sandwich Shop?
If you open a sandwich shop with a big sign that says “Sandwich Shop,” then when customers come in, you say, “We only sell Sloppy Joes.” Wouldn’t it really be a Sloppy Joe Shop?
And if a customer made that point and you hit him in the face with a wet mop and said, “Now you’re a sloppy Joe,” you probably won’t stay in business long.
So I guess it doesn’t really matter what you call it.
50-Word Story
Here Comes The Sun
50-word story inspired by The Beatles song titles
“Sure is a hot one, Fred.”
“I can’t recall a hotter summer.”
A panicked sounding announcer interrupts the music playing on the radio.
“Folks, the government has just announced that the Sun has changed its orbit and is heading directly for Earth.”
“Ah, no wonder.”
“Look, here comes the sun.”

My Wish For You Today
May the bluebird of happiness land on your shoulder and sing you a sweet, sweet melody.
Then fly back to its nest and get a beak full of old gold coins that it found buried in the cave of a hermit who used to live nearby but died long, long ago. And bring them to you as a gift, because birds and dead hermits have no need of money.
Or if not gold, perhaps a Walmart gift card that he dove down and snatched from the hand of an unsuspecting Walmart shopper wearing pajama bottoms while walking into the store.
Birds always wear their Sunday best and don’t like people who wear pajama bottoms in public.
You might want to keep that in mind when you go to spend the gift card on some fabulous items available at Walmart.
That is my wish for you today.
Happy Monday.
