Ammo Grrrll calls this one MAN O’ WAR. She writes:

 

Many years ago, I went to Hawaii with my teenage son and his friend. For the friend, it was his first time in an ocean. We were all swimming and laughing and having a grand time, when suddenly his friend screamed in agony. He had been stung by a Portuguese Man O’ War. Supposedly, it is one of the worst pains on earth that you will survive.

 

One of the beach bums rushed up and told my son to “Quick, bra, go pee on the sting.”

 

I don’t know whether this would have worked or not because, for some reason, the kid declined the treatment. But it got me thinking: “HOW did this idea originate?”

 

Did some poor wretch think, “Boy, my leg hurts like a son-of-a-gun, I wonder if it would feel any worse if someone peed on it?”

 

Speaking of terrible pain, I have heretofore not really weighed in on the Presidential contest except to say that I will vote against Hillary or Bernie no matter who is nominated on the Republican side. That is still true. I voted for McCain and Romney, too, and am not sorry. However imperfect they were, they were light-years better than what we got.

 

(Snip)

 

So, correct me if I’m wrong, my friends, but it looks to me like the survivors who haven’t been voted off the island include: a crooked, lying harridan who may soon be living in a new gated community, i.e., prison; a wacky, elderly commie who thinks we should manufacture just one brand of deodorant; a liberal loose cannon with a fluffy, orange comb-over; and a wicked-smart but weird, conservative guy nobody likes who reminds my friend John Hinderaker of Richard Nixon!

 

 

I’ve been reading lately that sitting is really bad for us. So I think I’ll lie down. Wake me when it’s over.

Ain't that the truth! I wonder how many of us are thinking the exact same thing.
