A Simple Question?


Why is it when you ask certain types of folks a simple, yes or no question, ya get an unsimple answer. A co-worker of mine was spouting off about people who are losing their jobs. I asked, do you think that anyone’s job should be guaranteed? He replied, “Well”…… I will stop here because whatever it was he was spoutin’, was not, did not, nor ever did contain the words yes, or no!

I guess the ultimate shuck and jive answer came from Bubba Clinton, when he was gettin’ grilled during the “diddlin” Lewnisky episode. He had to go hillbilly Perry Mason and try to re-define the meaning of “is.” For Pete’s sake, folks just need to give a straight answer, unless they are playin’ for the “other” team, then they can give a “gay” yes or no!

Somebody here at work made some cookies and gave me one. I took a bite, and I swear it had worm turds in it. “They asked me;” Ya like it?” With an upside down smile, I said, “no, it taste like worm turds.” Then again, I never have grubbed on worm turds, so what the heck kinda dumbass answer was that? 🙂

    Then there are ex wife turds. They think they don’t stink and a blessing for those who may be lucky enough to receive a few.

    Is , is relative to the speaker, is not important so to the hear ,but is very necessary for the doer, depends on if the receiver is male or female. So is just is, as is sex it can be spun in many many ways, that is the way it is in our world today. And is a way to by the support of the gays. Yes IS is like CHANGE and FORWARD all are the key to seeing how frighting the Democrats can be.

    I prefer yes or no answers myself. People often ask me what I think and when I say to them, do you want the truth or a lie? I usually get a, “never mind. I’ll ask someone else.”
    Anyway…thanks for stopping by and following my blog. I appreciate it!

    Now this thing about voter ID and Rachael Maddow, Martin Bashir, Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton call it racism and voter suppression. Now in Florida there may be 180,000 non citizen voters. Their position on this is astonishing. See story today’s Miami Herald.

    Thanks for the tip Carl. It is amazing that people think it is somehow racist to ask folks to produce an I.D.!
