    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. Why does every football coach tell their players say stay sharp & alert for 60 minutes when every NFL game lasts 3 hours or 180 minutes?

      It is surprising how fast a dvr'd game can be watched... :)

      I have a DVR too MCF & you are 100% correct. It is nice to fast forward through commercials, but there is always the danger of seeing & hearing the final score on TV as you go to the recorded file & hit play...Not to mention hearing the final score on the radio too. The more you try to avoid something; the more that information literally seeks you out IMO.
