Who’s the Expert?
On a flight to Florida, I was preparing my notes for one of the parent-education seminars I conduct as an educational psychologist.
The elderly woman sitting next to me explained that she was returning to Miami after having spent two weeks visiting her six children, 18 grandchildren and ten great- grandchildren in Boston. Then she inquired what I did for a living.
I told her, fully expecting her to question me for free professional advice.
Instead she sat back, picked up a magazine and said, “If there’s anything you want to know, just ask me.”

Things I have learned by growing older
Choked on a carrot this morning, and all I could think of was, “I’ll bet a doughnut wouldn’t have done this to me.”
It only takes one slow-walking person in the grocery store to destroy the illusion that I’m a nice person.
It turns out that when asked who your favorite child is, you’re supposed to pick out one of your own. I know that now.
Ask your doctor if a drug with 32 pages of side effects is bad for you.
I relabeled all of the jars in my wife’s spice rack. I’m not in trouble yet, but the thyme is cumin.
I love bacon. Sometimes I eat it twice a day. It takes my mind off the terrible chest pains I keep getting.
As I watch this generation try to rewrite history, one thing I am sure of is that it will be misspelled and have no punctuation.
Driver: “What am I supposed to do with this speeding ticket?” Officer, “Keep it. When you collect four of them, you get a bicycle.”
I asked a supermarket employee where they kept the canned peaches. He said, “I’ll see,” & walked away. I asked another & he also said, “I’ll see,” & walked away. In the end, I gave up & found them myself, in Aisle C.
I told my physical therapist that I broke my arm in two (2) places. He told me to stop going to those places.
I put our scale in the bathroom corner & that’s where the little liar will stay until it apologizes.
When I was a kid, I used to watch the ‘Wizard of Oz’ & wonder how someone could talk if they didn’t have a brain. Then I got Facebook.
Do you ever get up in the morning, look in the mirror & think, “That can’t be accurate!”
A guy walks into a lumberyard & asks for some 2x4s. The clerk asks, “How long do you need them?” The guy answers, “A long time. We’re gonna build a house.”
I just burned 1,200 calories. I forgot the pizza in the oven.
Who knew that the hardest thing about being an adult is figuring out what to fix for dinner and doing it every single night for the rest of your life until you die?
Never trust an electrician with no eyebrows.
So, my neighbor knocked on my front door at 3 a.m. 3AM!!! Luckily, I was already up playing the bagpipes.
Instead of cleaning my house, I just watch an episode of “The Hoarders,” and think, “Wow! My house looks great.”
The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.
It was a special cat…
John was totally obsessed with his cat. His job demanded that he go out of town for a while. The only person he trusted to possibly care for his cat was his brother. He took the cat over and gave his brother the food, treats, shampoo, conditioner and fancy litter box. He cried as he told his cat goodbye.
John called his brother after two days to check on his cat. His brother said, “Your cat died.”
John went crazy. “You are a cold, rude person. You should not tell a person bad news in such a callous manner. You should have said something like…the cat is on the roof and we can’t get it down. By the way how is Mother doing?” His brother replied,
“Mother is on the roof and we can’t get her down.”

Astronomy Picture of the Day
3I/ATLAS: A View from Planet Earth
Image Credit & Copyright: Rolando Ligustri
Explanation: Now outbound after its perihelion or closest approach to the Sun on October 29, Comet 3I/ATLAS is only the third known interstellar object to pass through our fair Solar System. Its greenish coma and faint tails are seen against a background of stars in the constellation Virgo in this view from planet Earth, recorded with a small telescope on November 14. But this interstellar interloper is the subject of an on-going, unprecedented Solar System-wide observing campaign involving spacecraft and space telescopes from Earth orbit to the surface of Mars and beyond. And while the comet from another star-system has recently grown brighter, you’ll still need a telescope if you want to see 3I/ATLAS from planet Earth. It’s now above the horizon in November morning skies and will make its closest approach to Earth, a comfortable 270 million kilometers distant, around December 19.
