The Laws of Life

Dave

1. Law of Mechanical Repair – After your hands become coated with grease, your nose will begin to itch and you’ll have to pee.

2. Law of Gravity – Any tool, nut, bolt, screw, when dropped, will roll to the least accessible place in the universe.

3. Law of Probability – The probability of being watched is directly proportional to the stupidity of your act.

4. Law of Random Numbers – If you dial a wrong number, you never get a busy signal; someone always answers.

5. Variation Law – If you change lines (or traffic lanes), the one you were in will always move faster than the one you are in now

6. Law of the Bath – When the body is fully immersed in water, the telephone will ring.

7. Law of Close Encounters – The probability of meeting someone you know INCREASES dramatically when you are with someone you don’t want to be seen with.

8. Law of the Result – When you try to prove to someone that a machine won’t work, IT WILL!!!

9. Law of Biomechanics – The severity of the itch is inversely proportional to the reach.

10. Law of the Theater & Hockey Arena – At any event, the people whose seats are furthest from the aisle, always arrive last. They are the ones who will leave their seats several times to go for food, beer, or the toilet and who leave early before the end of the performance or the game is over. The folks in the aisle seats come early, never move once, have long gangly legs or big bellies and stay to the bitter end of the performance. The aisle people also are very surly folk.

11. The Coffee Law – As soon as you sit down to a cup of hot coffee, your boss will ask you to do something which will last until the coffee is cold.

12. Murphy’s Law of Lockers – If there are only 2 people in a locker room, they will have adjacent lockers.

13. Law of Physical Surfaces – The chances of an open-faced jelly sandwich landing face down on a floor are directly correlated to the newness and cost of the carpet or rug.

14. Law of Logical Argument – Anything is possible IF you don’t know what you are talking about.

15. Law of Physical Appearance – If the clothes fit, they’re ugly.

16. Law of Public Speaking – A CLOSED MOUTH GATHERS NO FEET!

17. Law of Commercial Marketing Strategy – As soon as you find a product that you really like, they will stop making it OR the store will stop selling it!

18. Doctors’ Law – If you don’t feel well, make an appointment to go to the doctor, by the time you get there, you’ll feel better. But don’t make an appointment and you’ll stay sick.

Walmart in China

Dave


We thought our WalMarts had it all.


Crocodiles.


Bulk Rice.


Mixed meat for the choosing. (I’m sure they all washed their hands first!) This is all so sanitary, isn’t it? No wonder the corona virus spread quickly.


Turtles and frogs. Yum, Yum!


You guess! (It looks familiar, but definitely not something that I have eaten or going to! Those are bull penises.)


Walmart Brand Spirits


Rib Cages. (From what or who?) NOT sanitary again!


Assorted Dried Reptiles.


Beautiful Boxes Of Liquor.


Frogs.


A Large Selection of Chopsticks.


Ducks on a rack (They say it tastes just like chicken!) Not very sanitary.


Great Value Brand Beef Granules.


Pig Faces.


Antibacterial Bikini Underwear For Men.


Diet Water. (Hmmm.) It has no calories anyway.


Meat Water. Notice the flavors on the bottles.


Specialty Pickles. (Just like “Cracker Jacks” a prize in every jar!)


100% Powdered Horse Milk (no ponies!).

Gosh…and North American WalMarts only have crazily dressed people.

Why is Australian Sand Soccer so Popular?

Dave

When the NFL began all the dancing in the end zone and then decided that kneeling for the National Anthem was OK, I decided that I was thru watching NFL Football.

I began looking for another sport to replace my Sunday entertainment interests. I had settled on Beach Volleyball which I found interesting but the season was so short that something additional was needed to provide for a longer entertainment season. As luck would have it along came Sand Soccer which I feel will be more than adequate in fulfilling my entertainment needs on Sundays.

Why is Australian Sand Soccer so Popular?

I think it’s the uniforms.

Things to See Around the Barringer Meteor Crater

Dave


When first walking up you can see the meteor crater in its entirety, but for a closer view you need to walk to the observation deck.


While walking out to the observation deck you can see some Moenkopi Sandstone.


From the observation deck at the Barringer Meteor Crater near Winslow, Arizona there are some telescopes that are pointing at different objects. It is all to teach you more about the crater and to use as a size comparison.


Here you can see the raised strata from the impact of the meteor.



These next series of images show the Drill Hole A site, the winch and boiler next to the main drill shaft, the main shaft, and a full size astronaut and flag to show you how big they actually appear. I really had to zoom in from the observation deck to get clear photos of these objects.


A site like this needs some dedication plaques to give recognition to those who participated or donated to help support the cause.
