MB and Oldies Alert

Today’s Monotony Breaker begins w/ some rather remarkable examples of people who really know how to deal w/ the aging process and continues w/ a variety of interesting tidbits to which you’ve become accustomed. Also — This week’s edition of “Oldies w/ the Old Guy” has been uploaded to Mixcloud and is available by clicking on the following link: https://www.mixcloud.com/billdickerson/oldies-with-the-old-guy-03-15-16-ides-irish-collage/ As will be evident — it’s a bit of a collage combining the fact that yesterday we celebrated the “Ides of March” and tomorrow we’ll be celebrating Ireland’s Patron Saint — no doubt w/ a bit of green beer to spice up the festivities. As always — Enjoy. . . (and tell your friends to check out www.monotonybreaker.com as well. . .)

“Optimism is going after Moby Dick in a rowboat

And taking the tartar sauce with you!”

Young Chuck moved to Texas and bought a donkey from a farmer for $100.00. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day. The next day he drove up and said, ‘Sorry, son, but I have some bad news, the donkey died.’

Chuck replied, ‘Well, then just give me my money back.’
The farmer said, ‘Can’t do that. I went and spent it already.’
Chuck said, ‘Ok, then, just bring me the dead donkey.’
The farmer asked, ‘what ya gonna do with him?
Chuck said, ‘I’m going to raffle him off.’
The farmer said, you can’t raffle off a dead donkey!’
Chuck said, ‘Sure I can Watch me.. I just won’t tell anybody he’s dead.’
A month later, the farmer met up with Chuck and asked, ‘what happened with that dead donkey?’
Chuck said, ‘I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars a piece and made a profit of $998.00.’
The farmer said, ‘Didn’t anyone complain?’
Chuck said, ‘Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back.’
Chuck now works for the government.
