Let me say this about that. Genny, as she was called by her parents Ed and Pearle, was born in 1923 in Buchanan, Virginia, in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. While Ed was a muscular man, standing a few inches over 6 feet tall, Pearle was a short rotund woman whose world revolved around […]
Let me say this about that. I must admit that I am not a particularly religious guy. To me, organized religion seems to be all about forcing narrow, single-minded dogma down our throats. Organized religion always takes the position that their particular credo is correct, and all other beliefs are corrupt. But one thing they all have in common […]
Let me say this about that. About a year ago, I wrote an article for this blog entitled “Penis size – does it really matter?” Since the LMSTAT blog was started in 2009, this single article has received more hits than any other – by far. I have no way of knowing who among you has […]
Let me say this about that. I’ve always been fascinated by money. Oh sure, “Who isn’t?” you may ask, but that’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about the ‘things’ that are used for legal currency. Today of course, legal currency is usually paper notes or coins issued by the federal government of any […]
Let me say this about that. Like most retired guys, I am fairly handy around the house when it comes to minor maintenance and repair. A stuck door here, a leaky faucet there, and we can hold our own. That is unless you have one of those creatures living in your house like I do. I forget the […]
Let me say this about that. Oh, Tiger, Tiger, Tiger. You have really ‘shat-in-your-hat’ this time. Word has it that your D-I-V-O-R-C-E is final and, as part of the settlement, you have agreed to pay your ex-wife a whopping $700,000,000 dollars!! I’m no economist, but I believe that amount exceeds the gross national product of Bolivia. That dollar […]
Let me say this about that. Quickly now! Tell me three things you know about The Netherlands. Can’t think of three? OK, how about one thing? Fact is, most Americans don’t know a helluva lot about The Netherlands. If you use the term ‘Holland’, we tend to revert back to our grammar school days to […]
Let me say this about that. I have met some pretty smart guys in my time. I even used to think I was pretty smart until I got to know a few of these guys. Smart people, like the fabulously wealthy – ‘are different from the rest of us’ – and operate on an elevated ceriberal plane […]
Let me say this about that. Announcer: “Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the finals of the 2010 ‘He said – She said’ competition. This competition pits the best and brightest of each gender in a match of witticisms, quips and comebacks. Each of the preliminary rounds featured one male and one […]
Let me say this about that. As is the case with all guys, I like hot cars and hot women. But with my advanced age, minuscule savings account and marital status, I am relegated to simply ‘looking’ at both. But as the man says: “Just because I’m on a diet, doesn’t mean I can’t look at the menu.” […]
