At the desk where I sit, I have learned one great truth. The answer for all our national problems - the answer for all the problems of the world come to a single word. That word is ‘education.’ Lyndon B. Johnson

President Gerald Ford. Ford was confirmed by the House and Senate as vice-president for President Richard Nixon after vicepresident Spiro Agnew resigned. He then assumed the presidency when Nixon resigned. Thus, serving as president and vicepresident without being elected to either office.

The winter sports season has begun. As much as I enjoy covering outdoor events, I a ready to be indoors for a while. The added benefit of indoor sports I get more shots of dramatic faces. Capturing the “perfect” expression of joy, surprise, concentration, determination or grossly distorted is one of the significant joys I get from doing this. Basketball is a target-rich environment for such countenances. As I mentioned last week, RR will under go subtle changes as it evolves to suit the wants of its readership.

This is where you, the readers, can be a part of that growth process. Let me know what you would like to see and /or read in RR. You can also let me know what you feel is unneeded or superfluous, unnecessary, redundant and repetitive, (much like the preceding four adjectives). It took me seventeen years, of trial and error, to get Sorts & More to the point I always felt I wanted it to be. With your assistance I can get RR to that point much sooner. Another method to help get RR to its evolutionary epitome is to continue to increase its readership. Please share, re-Tweet and link your copy of RR to those you think might be interested in reading/seeing it. Links can be directly sent to readers by following me on Twitter @RonniesRamble or initiating a free subscription by sending an email to me at the previous email address with the word “Subscription” in the
Subject box. That just about takes care of all of the business “business” for this week. I had several topics on which I wanted to laud, pontificate, kvetch and grumble, but I thought I would take a break from being a curmudgeon for a week so I can better develop a diatribe about the upcoming holidays and government and corporate I wanted to write idiocy), but I will say shortcomings.
Once again, the lighter side... You cannot make-up this stuff… • Prosecutor: How fast was the car coming toward you? Witness: I am not a thermometer, so I can’t tell you the speed limit. • Attorney: What did the doctor tell you was the condition of the body when he performed the autopsy? Witness: He described it as dead. • Prosecutor: Do you see the defendant in court today? Witness: Yes, I do. Prosecutor: How is he dressed? Witness: He looks pretty sharp. • Prosecutor (addressing the court): The People have evidence that the life of the witness is in jeopardy, and it is reasonable to apprehend he will not be able to attend the trial if he is not alive at that time. • Attorney: Can you explain what
“state-dependent memory” refers to? Witness: Yes. If a law student is drinking while studying for the exam, he would do well to bring beer into the examination, because he’ll be better able to re-create whatever it is he studied if he’s in a similar state of intoxication. Court: That’s a novel thought. Witness: You see why I’m no longer teaching at the law school. • Counsel (to man in hallway): Are you a witness, victim, or defendant? Man: I’m the guy who did it. • Counsel: Were you involved in a romantic relationship with her? Witness: I ain’t involved in no romantic relationship with her. I’m married to her. • Counsel (to witness): Are you telling the truth? Prosecutor: Objection; irrelevant. • The defendant said that prior to the offense, he’d hoped to become a physician. But he believes that with a felony conviction, he will be precluded from achieving that goal. So he is now considering becoming a lawyer. 30 Humorous Allusions to Bats in the belfry: 1. A few clowns short of a circus. 2. A few fries short of a happy meal. 3. A few beers short of a six pack. 4. A few peas
short of a casserole. 5. The wheel’s spinning, but the hamster’s dead. 6. One fruit loop shy of a full bowl. 7. One taco short of a combination plate. 8. A few feathers short of a duck. 9. All foam, no beer. 10. The cheese slid off his cracker. 11. Body by Fisher, brains by Mattel. 12. Has an IQ of 2, but it takes 3 to grunt. 13. Warning: Objects in mirror are dumber than they appear. 14. Couldn’t pour water out of a boot with instructions on the heel. 15. He fell out of the stupid tree and hit every branch on the way down. 16. An intellect rivaled only by garden tools. 17. As smart as bait. 18. Doesn’t have all his dogs on one leash. 19. His elevator doesn’t go all the way to the top floor. 20. He forgot to pay his brain bill. 21. Her sewing machine Is out of thread. 22. His antenna doesn’t pick up all the channels. 23. His belt doesn’t go through all the loops. 24. Proof that evolution can go in reverse. 25. Receiver is off the hook. 26. Several nuts short of a full pouch. 27. Skylight leaks a little. 28. Slinky is kinked. 29. Too much yardage between the goal posts. 30. One board short of a porch.
