    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>

    Yesterday former Speaker of the House "Suspended" his Presidential Campaign, why can't people just say I quit? AKA Political Gamesmanship on Overdrive IMO...

      Reminds me of the movie office space "Did you quit?" "No, I'm just not going to go to work anymore"

      No public servant likes to acknowledge defeat by the voting masses, but it really bothers me when people try to control a situation they can't really manipulate. Just admit reality, say it was a hard fought campaign, thank your supporters, fall in line, & disappear gracefully with some humility & dignity intact. I respect that immensely. How you handle defeat says a lot about 1's personal character IMO.

      You just have to bite the bullet. I was on an expansion little league team my first year in Senior ball. We were a delightful 0-16 (Lions come to mind) My 14 and 15 yr old teams won the division, and went to the state finals (All Stars) I hated the defeats, but you learn an move on. Some cannot take defeat.
