Danger! I See- Borg Ahead

I used to go to the store with $5 and get a loaf of bread, a can of beans, a pound of bacon, a hoop of cheese,3 steaks,5 pounds of hamburger,a small ham,3 chickens and a gallon of milk.

Can't do that now....too many dam* cameras!

I thought you could still do that at Walgreens in S. Fransisco

A guy I knew said he used to be a Kleptomaniac,but now,thanks to modern medicine, when he gets the urge,he takes something for it.

Sometimes you really don't want to know what someone is thinking.

Case in point:

Thanks to Jerry Clower,I relate one of his stories:

Marcel Ledbetter was watching his old hound dog sleep,and he was kicking and snapping and licking in his sleep.

Marcel's uncle told him if the would put a newspaper under his pillow at night,he could dream the same dream as his hound dog.

So Marcel did it.

His aunt woke up the whole house,screaming at the top of her lungs.

Help!Help!Help! Marcel's got his head stuck in a salmon can.!

An old man many years ago told me that if I would sleep with the textbook under my pillow I would absorb all the words in the book. I tried it and naturally flunked the first test. But now, it seems possible-just implant a chip instead of sleeping on the book!

But will that chip install common sense?

There would be more common sense decisions if emotion was removed and a chip could probably do that. But it would be a bland life. Who would want it? The controllers of society would like it until they got the implant! Hey hey.

But there would be a decisive neglect to many people. They would only allow those deemed intelligent to be downloaded, so I would imagine there would then be selected data centres. Thus being a data centre for the west of selected folks, a data centre for Africa, one in Asia and one in Australia etc. And selected folks would be picked to go into a main data centre. So you will still have the super intelligent folks who will gain as they have riches and the poor folks will be excluded. So you will end up with the rich running the world and a pretense of people being in a collective. On second thoughts, you will have a collective of undesirables so really we are no better off than we are now. BS does baffle brains and there are plenty baffled folks out there.

The only chip for me is accompanied with battered fish. The world has become too stupid for me.

Sometimes we must just have faith that everything is going to be all right because there's nothing we can do about it. Anyway, I like southern fried catfish. Have you ever tried cold fried catfish as a munchie? The thicker pieces are the best.

Hope sir Hope. 'Tis better to have a soul full of hope. than a hole full of soap.

Never eaten catfish. Battered cod or whiting and chips with lots of salt.
