Sam - You ask: "WAITMAN, I don't know what they are putting
in your hospice "juice".. but it sure makes
you erudite."
Actually, Sam, My three children bundled me up and took me to Applebees last night where I had, "A double margarita with crushed ice, hold the salt" Beats tequila 10 to 1 and makes me short term very erudite.
It's a funny thing about we FASC investors. We are very much like the old Timex watch commercial:"We take a licking, but we keep on ticking".
I learn to adjust to those around me. Have a new Korean hospice volunteer, so I am developing a "Korean personality." Will share a couple of jokes as well as a little of my new Asian personality:
Q: What do you call a Chinese Billionaire? A: Cha Ching!
Q: What has 2 wings and a halo? A: A Chinese telephone, Wing-wing, halo? :
Q: How do you know if a China man robbed your house? A: Your homework is done and your computer is upgraded.
Q: What do you call a Chinese woman with an opinion? A: Wong
Q: What do you call a Chinese dwarf? A: Tai Nee.
Q: What do you call a Chinese woman on fire? A: Mel Ting.
Q: What did this Chinese father (David) tell his new daughter(Cathy)? A: You allergic to bees.....Good! Get A's or C your way out of my house.
Serious question for Cathy. If I were to spin you around would you become disoriented.
Now for good, final Asian joke:
An airplane takes off from the airport. The captain is Jewish and the first officer is Chinese. It's the first time they've flown together and it's obvious by the silence that they don't get along. After thirty minutes, the Jewish Captain speaks, "I don't like Chinese." The First Officer replies, " Ooooh, no like Chinese? Why ees that?" The Captain says, "You bombed Pearl Harbor. That's why I don't like Chinese." The F.O. says, "Nooooo, noooo... Chinese not bomb Pearl Harbah. That Japanese, not Chinese." And the Captain answers, "Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese... it doesn't matter, they're all alike."
Another thirty minutes of silence. Finally the F.O. says, "No like Jew." The Captain replies, "Why not? Why don't you like Jews?" F.O. says, "Jews sink Titanic." The Captain tries to correct him, "No, no. The Jews didn't sink the Titanic. It was an iceberg." The F.O. replies," Iceberg, Goldberg, Rosenberg, no mattah. All same."
Honorable but humble Waitedg must now enjoy sip, sip of margarita. Soooo Long
