HUMOR AND SATIRE

Let's face it, everyone has their own take on life--everyone has an opinion--whether it be on politics, on the economy, or on why residential speed bumps seem to have replaced sensibility and mutual respect in our neighborhoods. After all, wouldn't anyone in their right mind see things just like you do?
Well, maybe there are more like-minded people out there than you think.
Maybe you are not alone in your preference for laughter about our human frailties and foibles. If you would rather chuckle than cry, these musings are written just for you. Here's hoping some of these little snippets of weirdness will put a smile on your face.
Enjoy....
