When I was in high school I used to be terrified of my girlfriend's father, who I believe suspected me of wanting to place my hands on his daughter's chest. He would open the door and immediately affect a good-naturedly murderous expression, holding out a handshake that, when gripped, felt like it could squeeze carbon into diamonds.
Now, years later, it is my turn to be the dad. Remembering how unfairly persecuted I felt when I would pick up my dates, I do my best to make my daughter's suitors feel even worse. My motto: wilt them in the living room and they'll stay wilted all night.

A favorite insult is to call someone you’re not impressed with or want to ridicule a “loser.”What is a loser?
Let’s assume it’s accurate.
What are you losing if you’re a “loser?”
Not being a loser to most people must simply mean the attainment of money and the purchase of things. Things purchased are proof you’re not a loser. In other words, you’re so insecure a person, the mere purchase of things will convince you you’re not a loser.

What do you do when you haven’t taken a vacation for years, and you’re so over-worked you can’t remember your name? Do something stressful. I’m being facetious. But not much.
I wanted to go to the South Seas and become a bearded Paul Gauguin, but agreed to a lesser trip to San Francisco for two days because of bills including putting braces on my twelve-year-old daughter’s teeth. Driving there, I noted that people are insane

I can't figure it out, and I've thought about it, but why is "God bless America" a popular saying? It seems somehow, elitist, exclusionary. I mean, if we go by inference, what's between the lines, or what remains unsaid, if God blesses America, what about the rest of the world?
Why would God bless America if he did bless it (assuming God is a he)?

The following is an unauthorized biographical interview I did with Sarah Palin's subconscious.
Me - Sarah, you recently forced Obama's advisor Rahm Emanuel to apologize for using the word "retarded," saying it was an insult to your son. Was that a publicity stunt or an attempt to re-write the English language?

Can you see the logic?
The close relationship, the natural progression, from one thought to the next?
Each year at Christmas we celebrate the birth of a First Century AD Galilean holy man and prophet, who preached, according to what we find in the Bible, humility, forbearance, sweetness and frugality. We celebrate this with an orgy of retail spending.

What is golf? You take a metal rod with a head on it, and hit a little white ball towards a hole in the ground.

Since nobody uses it, why do we have the word “ouch,” the sound you make when you hurt yourself?
Where did this word come from? There is no doubt, back in the mists of time, when small men with giant reproductive organs walked the earth looking for women and wearing animal skins, they made up the first words by making similar sounds to the thought they wanted to express, or the danger they wanted to communicate.
