I started tinkering with this video several weeks ago. I wanted to make it a bit more elaborate but I just haven’t had the time. So it just has a couple interjections from me. There’s a show in Britain called Dogs Behaving Very Badly where Graeme Hall tries to help out people who are having problems … Continue reading The Man or the Dog?

Two Weeks in August
Frank M. Robinson had an interesting career. Here’s part of his Wikipedia page: Born in Chicago, Illinois. Robinson was the son of a check forger. He started out in his teens working as a copy boy for International News Service and then became an office boy for Ziff Davis. He was drafted into the Navy … Continue reading Two Weeks in August
They’re Eating the Pets!!!!!!!!!
Last week I posted a video of a dog reacting to the presidential debate where one of the candidates (guess which one) claimed that immigrants are eating neighborhood dogs. The claim was false, of course. Anyway, I thought it only fair to give a cat equal time.
Niagara Falls

The Driving Instructor
Here’s one of the routines that made Bob Newhart famous.
How Low Can Humor Go?
The audience tittered. Jim Mason and I exchanged glances, while tittering along with the rest of the audience. Did we just hear what we thought we heard? It was near the end of the second movement of Haydn’s Symphony No. 93, the slow Largo Cantabile. It’s one of the symphonies Joseph Haydn composed specially for … Continue reading How Low Can Humor Go?
The Larry David Gene
I am convinced that there must be a Larry David Gene and that I have it. I often find that I agree with Larry David’s opinions, just not the way he goes about expressing them. In my own life there are many times I feel like I could use Larry David. For example, the other … Continue reading The Larry David Gene
