#546 Tidbits Too

Time again to slough off the loose ideas.
Exfoliate the joke drawer.
It’s the nature of the beast that semi-humorous ideas accumulate in the desk drawer of essay writers like me. Little squiggles and bits of nonsense that constantly nag me to find the airwaves but aren’t good enough to support an essay of their own.
Like I went to a Chinese wedding the other day. Pretty cool up to the last.
Then my suit was ruined because they threw sticky rice.
Thongs, the underwear not the sandals, are contributing to a lot of arguments and anger.
Because the bad thing about wearing thongs is it’s easier to get your panties in a knot.
What is it about real estate people and their pictures? Is it really important for me as a buyer to know what my seller looks like before I pick him or her? Does it affect their performance?
I mean, I like supermodels and all, but I’m not sure I’d want one of them handling the fine legal details of a home buying transaction.
And this picture thing is getting out of hand. Not only do they have it in the phone book and on their cards. Their putting it on the signs they stake out in front of houses.
I guess it helps you tell which ones are the new agents.
I drove by a sign the other day and there was this guy’s name, company, phone number and such, but there was also this empty box in one corner of it with a little label that said, “picture not available.”
Better, I suppose, than a bad picture like some I’ve seen that looks like it should be labeled, “Have you seen me?”
I heard this DJ accidentally make up a cool new word the other day. He was talking about one of those typical northwest days that feature both rain and sun and he stumbled and said we could expect shun-shine all day.
I like it.
Intermittent rain clouds occasionally shun the sun.
Shun-shine.
It could be our new slogan. We are the Shunshine State.
Hey. It’s better than Say Wa. There was an idea that should have been sloughed off.
America ya gotta love it
