A short bit-o-humor for you this FRIDAY. Enjoy!! —The Gang
DISSOLVE TO:
INT. KATIE’S WESTSIDE HOUSE
And so it was that former Suit KATIE, was doing her early morning “SPEED READ” while sipping her coffee … getting a beat on what’s happening in the world from THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER, the LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL, and THE ATHLETIC.
KATIE INTERNAL
Funny THIS appeared in the Wall Street Journal… a piece about the spate of hamate injuries? Go fig!
Note (per the story): The hamate is a pebble-sized wrist bone near the base of the pinkie and ring finger that features a hook-shaped protrusion that sticks out a few millimeters toward the palm of the hand.
Making a mental note, Katie continues reading and then switches to write her MORNING MUSINGs where she also mentioned this story.
And then, she FREE-FLO’D through her morning run (the ReCreation “R”) and immediately hopped onto her downstairs laptop upon returning.
KATIE INTERNAL
It was BART SIMPSON, right? The whole “I BLAME MYSELF…”
Letting the GOOGLE do its thing, she moused around some more and then a HUGE SMILE emerged.
KATIE INTERNAL
Ah! Even better! It was PRE-BART! Matt Groening from … WORK IS HELL /LIFE IN HELL mid-80s.
She clicks and snaps a screenshot and emails to herself.
A Groening classic…
KATIE INTERNAL
Yup! You know… Every injury I’ve had as an athlete… circling back… pretty much… I BLAME MYSELF as I was always pushing the envelope.
…I BLAME MYSELF as I was always pushing the envelope…
She pauses.
KATIE INTERNAL
And then, when facing DOWNTIME like these guys losing 8 to 10 weeks for “WHIPPIER”… I hear my ears the famous piece from Henny Youngman.
So true!
“The patient says, “Doctor, it hurts when I do this.”
The doctor says, “Then don’t do that!”
KATIE INTERNAL
Right? ‘Nuff said… EXCEPT worth noting… If you want to have some fun… check out Matt Groening’s work Pre-Simpsons… Definitely FUNNY HA HA! See for yourself!
