It's How You Split the Donut

Snippets and dribbles ... earthy lines ... odd behaviors ... quotes that struck me as funny or true ... or both ...

Driving to work ... A guy in a grey pick-up truck comes up behind me and I'm doing 70mph. He comes up to within four feet of my bumper and hangs there. It's a two-lane road. I look in the rear-view mirror and can see a man with a full head of snowy white hair, a bushy white beard, glasses perched on the end of his nose, glaring over the steering wheel at me. I swear I was being tail-gated by Santa Claus. Santa had fallen on the naughty side of naughty or nice. Can you see the headline? Obscure Actor Rear-Ended by Santa! The same day he appeared at the local burger joint where I was eating lunch. He wouldn't look me in the eye. By the way, Santa likes onion rings with his burger.

I found gas at $2.76/gallon. Why am I so excited?

My friend Annie ... On being loved ... Love me just the way I am or you can shit in your hat and pull it down over your ears! Well, that's tellin' it like it is ...

A line from comedian Dwight Slade on Blue Collar Radio (referring to an admonishment from his grandpa) ...Stop that right now, or I'll slap you like a Sunday mornin' boner! Who knew Sunday was the special day?

Over the weekend, I bought DVDs for the first time in a couple of years. My purchases? Dream Girls, Diary of a Mad Blackwoman, Charlotte's Web, Rent and For Your Consideration. Musicals or comedies anyone? I can feel the eye-rolling now. That's so Neil. Well, yeah it is:)

designerotter posted that he adores Oriental rugs and was shopping for more. Having stayed at his comfortable condo last October, I can testify that he has many rugs and they are lovely... After reading his blog, this flipped into my brain ... a title ... "Joseph and the Cozy Carpeted Cave". Shall we write the tale? Illustrations by Joe?

A thought by Precious Ramotswe, a Botswanan woman of traditional build ... (I like this term, much nicer than having to repeat that you are just big-boned:) It's from the new book, "The Good Husband of Zebra Drive".

How a person divides a donut (is) a real test of integrity ... A good person would cut the donut in two equal pieces. A shifty, selfish person would divide it into two pieces, one would be bigger than the other and he would take that one for himself. She had seen that happen.

Hmmm ... Sharing a donut ... I may have shared once... mental-pause for fuzzy memory ... Nope... I ate the whole thing:) Precious, or her creator Alexander McCall-Smith, must not be familiar with Krispy Kremes! But it does bear asking the question ... How would you split the donut?
