There are billions of people and a version of normal to go along with each one of them. No two versions are exactly the same. There will be hundreds of thousands of little things that make up your version of normal. With any luck you can find people that have close to the same idea of what normal is that you do. These are your friends. Anyone else you try to tolerate as best you can.
....
The exact definition of normal depends on who's running the asylum.
Loved these, Mike. I wish we could use some of those performance evaluations on some of my co-workers but we would get in lots of trouble. It feels like out of a Mitch Hedberg or Steven Wright special.
Sue - I found you in spam again. And I went back and checked. There were other people that I had missed in spam. About 10 comments. I should check spam before I look at anything else.
John - Here's a weird score affecting item. Your percentage of your credit card limit. Say you have a card with a limit of $5000 and you have bills of $2500 for a month. You're using 50% of your limit. That's bad and lowers your credit score. But say you have the same $2500 on a $15,000 limit. That's only 17%. That's good and raises your credit score.
I will add one of my favourite (and sadly familiar) words. Exhaustipated. Too tired to give a crap...
ReplyDeleteI'm dating myself, but it sounds like Henny Youngman was giving those performance evaluations.
ReplyDeleteKirk - They could be from that far back. I don't see a boss getting away with smartass remarks these days.
ReplyDeleteI like the Performance Evaluations. I know a few people who would fit some of those.
ReplyDeleteRiver - I know what you mean.
ReplyDeleteHeck, I don't know what pharmacodynamics or pharmacokinetics are but I STILL know that "all natural" is just a marketing ploy :)
ReplyDeleteThose analogies look suspiciously like something written by a comedian, not by a teenager. I wonder :)
Good reading!
Jenny - I think "marketing bull shit" would be a better description.
ReplyDeleteAll Natural. Yep.
ReplyDeleteI'll echo your reply to Kirk's comment. Today, any of those statements would probably lead to a lawsuit.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mike 😊

ReplyDeleteBill - Naturally!
ReplyDeleteKathy - For sure.
Cloudia - 😊 Back at ya!
Matt - They may or may not be true but they ARE funny.

ReplyDeleteI like the one about e coli and Canadian Beef and a bird in the hand is going to poop on you.
ReplyDeleteLady - I'm not sure if the Canadian beef one is good or bad.
ReplyDeleteAll natural definitely isn't always a good thing
ReplyDeleteAdam - You're right. Most poisons are all natural.
ReplyDelete"All natural"...sigh...just another marketing ploy to get people to spend money on things they don't need!

ReplyDeleteYep. My credit score dropped 70 points when we closed on our house. It's taken two years to get it back on the high side of 800.
