What the Bleep is Foolish Times? Foolish Times is a free monthly tabloid publishing the best humor we can find (some months we search harder than others). The opinions or ideas expressed by contributors are not necessarily those of Foolish Times, its owner, advertisers, or associates, or their extended families, or their friends or neighbors, or their associated pen pals, up to and including cockatiels. All articles, graphics, photographs, and what-not (especially the what-not) are copyrighted by the so-called”writers” and”artists” who contribute them. Foolish Times uses invented names in all its stories, except in cases where public figures are being satirized. Any other use of real names is accidental and coincidental.

The Chucklehead Speaks Summer is passing by so quickly and it’s almost time for back to school. For those of you old enough to remember, the official start was day after Labor Day. Another huge change is they seem to push students through the grades when some of them are not prepared to move on. In our day, if you didn’t test well you were held back. I was held back so many times, instead of a diploma for graduation; I was given a dinner and a watch. I didn’t do so badly. Look at me now. I’ve worked my fingers to the bone and have very boney fingers to prove it! Car Week came around quickly too this year. Last year during Car Week, I was at a preview of an auction browsing around. I spotted a baby blue 1957 Cadillac Coupe Deville and walked over to inspect it. As I bent over to feel the fine leather upholstery, I inadvertently break wind. Very embarrassed, I looked around nervously to see if anyone noticed my
little accident and hoped that an auction rep with a clipboard doesn’t notice me. As I turned around, my worst nightmare materializes in the form of a salesman standing right behind me. Cool as a cucumber and displaying complete professionalism, the salesman greets me with, “Good day, sir. How may I help you today?” Very uncomfortably and hoping that the salesman may just not have been there at the time of my accident, I asked, “Great looking car. What is the price of this lovely vehicle?” He answers, “Sir, if you farted just touching it, you are going to soil your underpants when I tell you the price.” Please watch out for children on the road. They’re terrible drivers.
