Things I think…or Think I Thought

For the purposes of my own entertainment I am a literal thinker. Although I am generally shy…sometimes I can’t help myself.

Conversation with a new acquaintance
Acquaintance: “So…where are you from originally?”
Me: “A fertile egg…and you?
Acquaintance: “What I mean is…have you lived here  your whole life?”
Me: “Not yet!”

"Sort of" is such a harmless thing to say. Sort of. It’s just a filler. Sort of – it doesn’t really mean anything. But after certain things, sort of means everything. Like after ‘I love you’ or ‘You’re going to live’ or ‘It’s a boy."

Someone asked me "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?” I replied, “Celebrating the 5th anniversary of you asking me that silly question."

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, "Where's the self-help section?" She replied,” if I tell you, it would defeat the purpose….wouldn’t it?”

I started reading a book recently. The more I read, the more I thought I was reading a very long poem about everything. I finally realized I had picked up the dictionary.

I find most small furry breeds of dog to be hypertensive, temperamental and a bit narcissistic. I like to think of them as "Shihtzu-frenic"!

The Pope was getting ready for his day and said to an aid, “I would like to go out for a walk today.
The aid replied, “Oh Pontiff that is not a good idea. The weather is frightful today. It is raining catechisms and dogmas outside.”

If white wine goes with fish, do white grapes go with sushi?

Saddles are made of leather, which is animal hide. To put a saddle on a horse seems redundant, or at least rubbing it in.

That’s enough for now.

I’m just saying.

And if anyone doubts that is how you think, I am here to confirm in spades that is EXACTLY what it is like to talk to him face to face. And anal-retentive does have a hyphen ;-)

I miss you but reading this is like having your right next to me! *huggles* LOL

Thanks for sharing...now I get to go out and share your work...

Ron said...

Lisa - Simply...thank you for putting up with me <3

Ravenmyth - The first thing is to get people to care what you think...after that if you can make them smile and think...it's a bonus ;)

Wander Woman said...

Wander Woman said...

I don't know what it is with the required word thingy you have but the words always crack me up!
The latest one was 'usness'. Sounds like a real word----as in "Ron and Lisa have a real usness about them".

Ron said...

Wander Woman - LOL - Glad you like it. Yes, Lisa and I do have a usness about us...and we keep wet wipes handy as well ;)

Roy Durham said...

like the way you think Ron. we would get into to much trouble if we were in the same room lol thank you for the post god bless

Ron said...

Roy - I would be honored to get into trouble with you ;)

sparklemezen said...

Now you and I would get into trouble if we got into a conversation...I am abstract and my other half takes everything literally! Fireworks and sparks are a norm in our place!!!!

Anna L. Walls said...

I am going to have to try the grapes next time I have sushi. hahaha Talk about random thoughts.

Irene @ Inspiration From The Little Things said...

Haha This is funny! :-D

Jyoti Mishra said...

Looking forward to more new posts :)

JANU said...

Funny...and intelligent.

Ron said...

Savira - Funny thing is I am very abstract in thought. I said in the opening of this post that I am a literal thinker for purposes of entertainment ;). Actually I am very right/left brained.

Anna - Ha! I guess I did wander a bit. Oh, and those grapes...they should probably be fresh. I don't think aging grapes works the same as wine...although they would be raisins then...hmmm.

Irene - Glad you liked it.

Jyoti - Thank you and come back anytime ;)

Janu - Thank you!
