No Laughing Matter

"Whose picture is on a Susan B. Anthony dollar?"

"I have no idea."

"How much is a Susan B. Anthony dollar worth?"

"I don't know, ten dollars?"

"Is there such a thing as a two dollar bill?"

"Yes, I have a couple, actually. Is that how much that Susan B. Anthony dollar is worth?"

"You said ten dollars ... so how many two dollar bills would it take to equal a Susan B. Anthony dollar?"

"Four, yeah, four."


I paraphrased from having heard it just now without my transcription tablet handy, but that was the gist. Leno and his Jaywalking segments always seem to get quite a laugh. I personally never find riffraff imbecility very amusing, actually rather frightening instead.

  1. I agree, they creep me out. College kids...holy nutcase.

  2. The fact that they even made it to college is what's so scary. Crap. And some of them might even vote, risky that to say the least.

  3. I know. It's scary when Jay goes on the street. Not saying I am a "wisenheimer" myself, but it is shocking at times to see who he bumps into...makes me feel really smart, informed and on top of things. :)

  4. I know they pick the stupidest of the stupid for the laughs, but the fact that there are enough of them out there for a regular segment is even more than a little bit disconcerting.

I Think

I think I'm bored blogging. I think I'm done with it. I think what's the point? I think you should check out my blogroll instead. I think they say stuff better anyway.

Betty White "needs to start taking her relationship with God serious." Seriously?

I was one of those grassroots Facebook campaigners responsible for Betty White hosting Saturday Night Live the other night, so for that, let me just say: "You're very welcome!" I thought she was fantastic, better even than I had expected she might be, and by most accounts her coming on the show was a huge success. Except for some, who apparently had more eternal concerns weighing on their minds, precluding enjoying it so much. Like Jose, who while conceding that Betty White is legend "in this day and age of rebels and rockers" (I really don't know what that means, but it seems to be a good thing), is more concerned about her afterlife appearance instead, presumably being so old as she is. A legend, sure ... "However, I think Betty really needs to start taking her relationship with God serious. Betty can't please this new generation, she has nothing to prove to them. Her relationship with the Lord is what she needs to take serious." Well, all...

Why's There Even You and Me? A Personal Diversion

Obama still ba-rocks and McCain still, um ... is a dick. Okay. That's the extent of my political rumination today. Although I may be totally off on both counts, I wouldn't know. I honestly paid zero attention to realpolitik today so I have no clue what might have happened really. I have other more personal and most disconcerting things on my mind. I'm kind of creeped out. I have a stalker ... don't laugh. I really do. I think his name is Mike but I'm not even sure about that. He was probably lying when I asked, whatever the hell it was he said, but that's what I think I remember. I was drunk at the time. Admittedly my fault. I'm an idiot sometimes, no new tale to tell there. I don't recall exactly how I met the guy in the first place - it was a couple of years ago - but I do know that I willingly gave up my address. With directions, no less. Just in case. Damn the hooch. What was I thinking? Anyway, so here's the deal. I had him over a time or two ea...
