Which Way to the Ark?

*** The shrink said he thinks I might be a sex addict. I said, "Hmmm...I never thought about it. Oh, by the way, please excuse the young lady sitting next to me servicing me manually."

*** I saw the film Giant for the first time. I thought it was gonna be about Willie Mays.
It's about a Texas cattle baron having to part gradually with tradition in order to move on--- made me think it would have better been titled, Fiddler on the Hoof.
Those studio chiefs are tough. I read that James Dean was severely dressed down for not being at the film's premiere and that "...having died in an auto crash 6 months before is no excuse!"
A little known fact is that the ruthless honcho lent out Dean's body, in a quid pro quo,to another studio for The Trouble with Harry.

*** Philosopher Rene Descartes is well known, of course, for his, "I think therefore I am." A much lesser know fact is that he later saw combat, during which he was quoted as saying, "I'm shot therefore OUCHHHH!"

*** A bright yellow object briefly appeared in the sky yesterday. Police assured frightened callers that it was the sun.


*** I still don't understand why I was once officially reprimanded when I was an English teacher. I just put a sentence on the board demonstrating the difference between lie and lay: " I lied there, but unfortunately I didn't get laid there." I mean, what??!

*** Read a book about a top mobster who was whacked while sitting on the john. It's called "Number Two with a Bullet.

*** Relatedly, it's been revealed that Little Richard has been a top man in the mafia, rising to the title of Capo Tutti Frutti Capo
