Perspective

Diane. ìWhat was that blonde joke that Jimmy told us? The one that
was so funny, about dieting. I might use it with my patients.î

Me. ìYeah, what was it. Matt do you remember?î

Matt. ìNo.î

Me. ìGive me a moment, Iíll find it.î

Clickity, clickity, after maybe fifteen seconds, tops.

Me. ìHere it is.î

A blonde was terribly overweight, so her doctor put her on a diet. I want you to eat regularly for 2 days, then skip a day, eat regularly for 2 days, then skip a day. Repeat this procedure for 2 weeks.

“The next time I see you, you’ll have lost at least 5 pounds.”

When the blonde returned, she shocked the doctor. She had lost nearly 20 pounds.

“Why, thatís amazing!” the doctor said. “Did you follow my instructions?”

The blonde nodded. “Ill tell you though, I thought I was going to drop dead that 3rd day.”

“From hunger, you mean?” asked the doctor.”

“No, from all that skipping!”

Diane. ìThat is the one, but Jimmyís version was much funnierî

Me. ì It was, but what do you think of yours truly, The Googlemaster?î

Diane. ìIncredible.î

Matt. ìPatheticî

Updates:

Two new contributors to the blog, Dan and Ed, are honing their stories.
Scheduled publish dates….soon.

The BMW flywheel is on itís way to Dublin NH, to a machine shop that specializes in classic BMW restorations.

Matt is going to the LOCOBAZOOKA! ‘UNITED WE ROCK!’ festival this Sunday. Itís an all day, open air concert, held at the airport in Fitchburg.

Last night we celebrated Mark and Gingerís twenty-fifth wedding anniversary and then went to Willow Books to see Elinor Lipman read from The Pursuit of Alice Thrift. I queued up to have her sign my copy and to tell her how much I liked her writing. Before I finished, I looked down to see her stroking my arm.

I hope I’m there when Mike finally gets the validation he needs from Matthew, though I’m quite certain his ability to be with it will be gradual, not a fun-to-watch orgasmic satori.

As for me, all these years I’ve tried stroking Mike’s ego, when all he really wanted was his arm fondled………. My mistake.

OK googlemeister, answer me this: why doesn’t google come up with anything when I enter “LOCOBAZOOKA!”? Google does come up with a funny site when I enter “UNITED WE ROCK”:
http://johnpowers.diaryland.com/020130_98.html

which turns out to be a blog devoted to Q&A jokes.
(Maybe I should ask there what the funnier version is of the Blonde Diet joke.)

So Lipman wants to marry you, too?

I guess it’s my professional version of Google, which up until now, I have been keeping secret: http://www.google.com/search?client=googlet&q=locobazooka
