We just gotta laugh more.



Today's Tids Issue 3,339
Opening Stuff:

In the entirety of our society these days, there is just too much of two opposing sides not giving an inch. It doesn’t seem that anything any more is about getting it right, but only about protecting turf.

Of course, I’m not going to vote for Hillary just to show that I understand the warm feelings of the other side. Because, other than this crazy idea of electing people because of what they are as opposed to who they are, I can’t understand at all the attraction of such a conniving human being.

One reader is waking up at night in states of laughter visualizing a Hillary presidential pants suit loaded with NASCAR style sponsor patches. I think she is onto something. As this particularly brilliant Tids observer opines, being the Clintons, it won’t be long before they have sponsors for The Limo, Air Force One and the Grandchild.

The Question:
Name the Ten Longest Runnign TV shows of all time.


The Headlines:
--North Korea Claims Breakthrough On Nuke Missile “Miniaturized” Warheads.
--Stock Market Wobbly; Target Comes In Strong, Lowes Doesn’t.
--Burst Pipeline Spills 21 Thousand Gallons Of Oil Off Cal Coast.
--Severe Weather, Tornados Hit Texas, Oklahoma.
--The Voice Finals: Sawyer Fredericks Wins Followed By Meghan Lindsey, Joshua Davis, Koryn Hawthorn; Dancin’ with Stars Winner: Rumer Willis and Partner Val Chmerkovsky Beat Out Musician Riker Lynch And War Hero Noah Galloaway; Mom Demi And Dad Bruce Beam!
--Clinton Takes Two More Questions To Bring total To Ten.

A little girl on an afternoon talk show yesterday was asked what she thought the world would need to survive in the future. She answered, “Cheeto’s!” Gadzooks! Michelle was seen doing a swan dive off the “Francis Scott Key Brigde”.

I could get into riding my bicycle to work, except that the group promoting it is beginning to sound like a cult. I wouldn’t want to be part of a cult.

Have you noticed that when taking reporter questions, that Hillary’s head bobbing increases rapidly and her eyes start to bulge?

Thank God Rumer looks more like Mom than Dad.

The better senior golfers have learned how to time their spasms.

In a discussion about the Pawtucket Red Sox Opening for business in Providence with a new taxpayer assisted stadium, a caller to a radio program said that the new owners were just a bunch of “Rich” people living in Florida. The truth is that most if the RI’ers living in Florida are retired Public Employee there on Taxpayer funded pensions. Just, to set the record straight.

There are plenty of people with sound, irrefutable facts. One guy who reads this mess faithfully is always sending me good stuff, like yesterday after the Tidlet about the industry of last resort, tourism. This connected guy points out that in ten years the most recent projections say there will be a skills gap as large as 2 million open jobs because of a lack of qualified workers. He urges more people to shout out about sending kids to sensible alternatives like community college to study Mechatronics (Mechanical, Hydraulics, Pneumatics, Electronics), where 2 year degrees will bring starting salaries of $75K. And, society really needs em’.  

Of course sound refutable facts will always be countered by people with no knowledge of anything but whims and hunches.

In fact, there are people all over the place resolute in their positions which are based on total misinformation. Unfortunately too many people can’t determine good from bad info, because too much info comes wrapped in pretty packages with shiny ribbons.

The Answer:
Gunsmoke is still number one with 633 Episodes. Next is Lassie, followed by the Simpsons, deathn valley days, Law and Order, Ozzie and Harriet, Bonanza, My Three Sons, Alfred Hitchcock Presents and #10 Dallas. Others down the to 20 are Knots Landing, ER, George Burns and Gracie Allen, Beverky Hills 90210, Wagon Train, Hawaii Five- 0 (Original), Dragnet, Cheers, Beverly Hillbillies, Donna Reed,Perry Mason, Murder She Wrote, Frasier, NYPD Blue, and Marired with childen.

Tell somebody a joke today and watch them roll on the floor laughing. It’s good for the heart.

In answer to yesterday’s Oreo’s Q, a reader says that Jimmy Kimmel calls Double Stuff Oreos regular Oreos, and the standard Oreos “Diet Oreos”.
