Lord, Please don’t let the rental car smell like a 85 year old woman who wears too much WindSong. Again.
Lord, please let the hotel be clean, vermin free, stocked with clean linens, and have cable.

Please let there be someone at the customer who is honest enough to tell me what REALLY happened.
Please let the customer not have tried to fix it theirselves.
Please let the machine not be standing in a puddle of water
Please let the machine not be standing in a puddle of anything else either.
Please let some of the screw heads not be stripped out
Please let me not have forgotten the one tool that will make this a 2 hr job and not a 20 hr job.
Please let some noise or other distraction keep the customers employees from standing and watching me try to fix the machine the whole time.
Please let there not be any vermin actually living in the machine.
Please let me find and fix the problem quickly, and not spend most of my time chasing ghosts.

Amen.

I’d forgotten about this Carson segment. Appropriate, in this weather. And this town.

Bibi Netanyahu, I said to the doctor as he was jamming needles into the base of my skull. “Why?” He asked.

“Because he doesn’t appear to be full of shit.”

Had the same conversation, more or less, with Pascal last night. Pascal used the term “Equivocation”. Me, I think it’s more accurate to say “he doesn’t appear to be full of shit”.

Sure, B.B. had to give a little back in his recent speech to Dumbo, because he had spanked him so hard earlier, but in the end, mr Netanyahu has his head squarely on his shoulders, and is going to do what is best for his country. Wouldn’t it be nice to have leaders here who did what they said and said what they did?
