Hey South Paw, You Must Be a Damn Fool!
I remember when I was little (9 yrs old), my older brother would have me prank call people and holler, "You must be a damn fool!". . . So that saying has always been stuck there in my head...When someone does something so idiotic, what comes to mind is, "you must be a daaaayyuuuhhhummnn fool!". . . U gotta emphasize the Daaaayyuuuuhhmmmnn, if u know what I mean. . .
My 11 year old son broke his arm last week, New Year's Eve. . . . Fell from the monkey bars from about 8 feet up. . . lost his grip on one and crashed into the ground......I knew the arm was broken b/c my 8 year old had broken the same 2 bones (ulna & radius) in his arm on the 4th of July! The arm had the exact same look to it, like a soft noodle, a BIG noodle...just below the wrist, YUCK!....I don't know what it is with holdiays, brothers, and broken bones....
So, second semester began for him yesterday; he's a sixth grader. . . . His right arm is bandaged past his elbow and his fingertips you can barely see! He wears it in a sling. . .This is of course the arm or hand he writes with! When he gets home, my wife asks him, "Son, what was the worst thing about your day?". . . . . He replies, "Ms. XXXX made me write the assignment with my left hand.". . . . "She made u write your heading?". . . "No, she made me write ALL 20 sentences, then the answer in the blank.....I have to finish tomorrow b/c I didn't get finished."
No kidding? You didn't get finished? I can't believe he even made it halfway thru the assignment without freakin' writer's cramp in his LEFT HAND!
I asked my son when she assigned this to the class, did he point at his cast and say, "DUH?" to Ms. XXXX. . . How inconsiderate can a teacher be? Seriously! I mean, the boy has a broken arm, had surgery on it 5 days ago, and you're wanting him to write with his left hand? Hell, he's a straight A student, polite and mannerly, CAN YOU CUT HIM A BREAK(no pun)?
. . . I dunno. . . .All I could think. . . . ALL I WANTED TO SAY TO MS. XXXX is: "You must be a DAAAYYYUUUUMMMMNNN FOOL!"

Hot Tamales
I eat hot tamales at work...Sometimes too many...Man, they do get hot! I take them from my secretary's desk. . . She doesn't mind. . . . She has the cinnamon disks too. . . One time, she had some that were sooooo FREAKIN' HOT, I had to spit it out. . . Those cinnamon disks sat in her candy dish for months....No one could eat them. . . . . .
