    Asking people sarcastic questions like this one:
    Do you know why adults always ask little kids what do you wanna be when they grow up? They are looking for ideas about possible career choices themselves. HA! HA!

Now, Mr. Whiley always refers to himself in the 3rd person. Bob hates this. Bob loves that sort of thing. Also, another forum member, Blood ON The Tracks, informed me that a character on "Seinfeld" named "Jimmy" used this comedic device first.</div><div> </div><div>Why do I do this? Simple really. I always thought that speaking in the 3rd person is a great comical device to act as though a person is observing life's events from a distance above it all like a near death experience almost as if you are watching someone else live vicariously through you. In a nutshell, I am paying homage to Bob & Jimmy because I have a fondness for brilliant comedians that make you think & are kind of like the protest singers of my generation George Carlin, Bill Maher etc. etc.</div>

  1. Do you ever notice that people who win the Lotto or Grand Sweepstakes Prize tend to be rich or already well to do? Maybe if we called it Poorstakes Vs. Sweepstakes more deserving people would win...Any thoughts on this name change reversal of fortune? Hmmm...

      Yea, but you can see that a lot of people are spending our tax dollars to buy tickets in the grocery store, the poor get poorer and the rich get richer! What a shame.
