A Very Esoteric Thought from a Very Retired Man

Treat Williams was actually related to the revolutionary patriot Robert Treat Paine.

All part of my “If You’re Not Going to Think About It, I Will” series

Do you think the actor Treat Williams’s parents looked at their newborn son and thought, “Should we call him John or Treat? Hmmm. Let’s go with Treat?”

And the name served him well except for Halloween, when he’d get all tongue-tied at the door and say, “Trick or Me.”

On the Road to Galilee 22 AD

I love the smell of frankincense in the morning!

A band of Spaniards had come all the way from La Mancha to seek out the young Jesus, who was then ministering in Galilee. Over hill and dale they searched for the Messiah.
Spotting the Lord and his entourage walking in the distance, their leader beckoned to him:

The Man of La Mancha: Hey Zeus! Hey Zeus! Is that you?

Jesus and his apostles stopped and addressed the yearning acolytes. Peter gently corrected the man of La Mancha, “My friend, that is not Zeus. It’s Jesus. He is God, but he’s far from the Greek mythological God you’re confusing him with. Your group must be from Athens.

The Man of La Mancha: No sir. We’re from Spain and I know that’s Hey Zeus.

Peter: Hey Zeus? Oh, you mean Jesus. I get it. You speak Spanish and pronounce Jesus as Hey Zeus with a J that sounds like an H. Got it. Hey, be careful with that. I mean don’t go calling St. Joe, St. Hoe.

The LDS Bachelor

Just finished watching the Mormon version of The Bachelor. Wow!
He narrowed it down to 4 women, and then married all of them.

HB GW (Happy Birthday George Washington)

Son and I hanging with GW on his birthday.
I told GWash he’s become known as the father of our country.
And he agreed, stating, “And it’s the only country, I’m a father of… I mean, that I know of.“

Do you realize that when George Washington sliced the Thanksgiving turkey, he became George Washington Carver?

Ebony Elvis

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Legend has it that the King’s darker complexion for a film role was the counterintuitive inspiration for Michael Jackson to lighten his skin. Ebony Elvis seen here with Barbara Eden (TV’s Jeannie) in a promo for Flaming Star.

This would not have become a Security issue if only Costco had clearly marked it: For Display Purposes Only.

Maybe if they weren’t offering Chocolaty Ex-Lax samples, I wouldn’t have been in such a rush.
