Email To My Brother: Essential Personnel

Someone asked your wife, “Since your husband is retired, is he still considered Essential Personnel?”
     “Not in MY bedroom,” she said.

Doctors And Other Annoyances

  I’m not afraid of doctors.       They don’t come close to my wife telling me we have to talk.       Marriage comes with its ups and downs. I've noticed that when we're watching TV and my wife tells me she doesn’t care for the show we’re watching, what she means is I'm never going to find out how it ends.       But I was talking about doctors...      When my youngest daughter was just out of her toddler years, my wife and I took her to her pediatrician. Unfortunately, he was out of town, so we saw someone new. Trying to win our daughter over with his friendly bedside manner, he playfully asked if she knew our first names.       "Of course," she said politely. "My mommy's name is 'Sweetie' and my daddy's name is 'Babe.'"       Before I retired, my job required me to take yearly physicals.       Yearly, because I suffer from sleep apnea and have to u...

Dizzyland! The Slap-Dap-Happiest Place on Earth!

  My wife and kids refuse to travel with me any more.      "Why?" you ask.      Because I'm a man who enjoys life at a discount.       My wife calls that being cheap, but I'm not cheap... I'm frugal.      We just got back from Dizzyland.  The last time I was there, the LGBT+ were there for Rainbow Weekend. Or it was some law-enforcement convention. I've noticed they both have the same look.      Sadly, next time I'll be going alone.      Still, I'll have fun.      "How?" you ask.      Because, as everybody knows, Dizzyland is the slap-dap-happiest place on Earth. Dizzyland started as the lifelong dream of Walt White, a high-school chemistry teacher who, when he discovered he had cancer, decided to break bad and secure his family's future by cooking and selling crystal meth, and the fortune he made allowed him build Dizzyland...

Trumpsgiving

  First and foremost, I'm thankful for the re-election of President Donald Trump, the man who once saved my life in 'Nam.  I know the official story is he avoided the draft by claiming to have bone spurs, but the truth is he was secretly assigned to F.E.R.R.E.T. Force Five, my old special ops outfit. We were an elite group of mercenary misfits and he was in charge of refreshments.  Thanks to the greatest president in my lifetime I made it back home and was able to live long enough to look back and wonder "What the heck have I done with my life?" You see, I've worked hard all my life to support my wife, my family, my mistresses. Now I figure it's time to let the government do it. Why? Because I can. Do you have any idea how expensive it is to feed a houseful of hungry kids, some of whom might even be yours? Well, neither does the government, that's why they're better suited for the job. School supplies?  I say, if the government requires us to send our ...
