Dire situation

There are many dire situations in the world. But none so dire as the decline of clowns in the world. Yes clowns. I just read that the world is poised to suffer an unprecedented shortage of professional clowns. Is being a clown even a profession? The World Clown Association has declined by nearly 30 percent in the last 10 years, I was not aware that there was a World Clown Association. Admissions to clown colleges continue to decline, completely unaware that clown colleges even existed. I looked up what is taught at Clown College and it said " basic clowning", I was not even aware that there were different levels of clowning.
 What does all this mean? I think it means that it is time clowns realize that we don't like them. No one likes clowns. There is even a phobia called coulrophobia, fear of clowns. Interesting that in North Korea 100 percent of the population are afraid of clowns. Amazing since their leader is a total clown.
I say goodbye and good riddance to Bozzo and Chuckles, it is time to send out the clowns!

  

New business opportunity

I am always looking for new business opportunities. There was a time when I sold adult diapers. Sales were good, margins acceptable and the market always growing. I continue to keep my eyes open for the right opportunity.
I just read that Kenya recently paved some of their roads and immediately passed a new law to protect these roads. They have ordered all cart pulling donkeys to wear diapers. What a great opportunity to move to a wonderful country and to open a new business and it is a natural. Where else to put a diaper if not on a big ass!

Vasile Copei

In a Romanian town residents have a choice of three candidates for mayor in an election this weekend. The residents can either vote for Vasile Cepoi or Vasile Cepoi or Vasile Cepoi. The current mayor of Draguseni, Vasile Cepoi is running for a fourth term and both of his challengers are also named Vasile Cepoi. Town hall official, Viorel Munteanu, said Friday that the three contenders are not related. Anyone want to wager who is going to win? I would love to see that ballot. Below is a picture of Vasile, Vasile and their other brother Vasile. 

Life's cross roads

Many times in life you arrive at cross roads. What to do? As we know all roads lead to different destinations. One's decision may be based on careers, children's needs, family or even weather or culture. Is the decision based on long term needs or immediate needs? I came to such a crossroad recently. I made my decision based on immediate need. I feel much better now, thank you.

FOX or CNN

The debate will continue forever,  FOX or CNN? Are you a liberal or a conservative? A Republican or a Democrat?  I never know which news station to watch, which slant to listen to. Today the question was answered. My two year old grandson, Koby, made the executive decision. I asked him why? Simple he said, "Fair and Balanced"

US Elections

If you watch any news programs you can't avoid the US elections. Trump or Cruz, Clinton or Saunders? We are told over and over again that the people are fed up with mainstream politicians and want change. So is this change or have we seen these characters before?  Look at the picture below, I think we have seen all these characters before.

Dream Job???

 Do you like your job? Is it challenging or boring? Have you ever had one of those days at work when you actually were all caught up, and had nothing to do? You sit at your desk and think about whether you should leave early? Perhaps look for a new job?  Maybe quietly surf the net, or go chat with other staff. This may be ok for a day or two but what if you actually had nothing to do for days? What to do then?
 Well maybe you should ask Joaquin Garcia. You see, in 2010 Garcia was being awarded in Spain for 20 years of dedicated civil service, however, while preparing the award it was discovered that Joaquin had actually stopped working 14 years earlier. It seems when they went to find Garcia in his office to inform him of the award they could not find him and when they asked others from nearby offices about his whereabouts they were told no one had seen Garcia in years. It now seems that Garcia was actually meant to be fired in 1995 at which point everyone stopped monitoring him all together. So it turns out that Garcia was paid for work he didn't do for 14 years. Garcia did nothing for 14 years! He maintained that it wasn't a total waste. While he didn't work every day, like the position mandated, he said he did occupy his office occasionally passing the time reading, often about philosopher Baruch Spinoza. Exactly what most of us would do!
 So if you are bored at work with nothing to do remember, things could be worse, you could have nothing to do for years or a far worse job.
