Of Fencing, Monsters, True Love and Miracles....

Grandpa: That's right. When I was your age, television was called books. And this is a special book. It was the book my father used to read to me when I was sick, and I used to read it to your father. And today I'm gonna read it to you.

The Grandson: Has it got any sports in it?

Grandpa: Are you kidding? Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles...

The Grandson: Doesn't sound too bad. I'll try to stay awake.

Grandpa: Oh, well, thank you very much, very nice of you. Your vote of confidence is overwhelming.

The Wisdom of

Buttercup: I know that there is more than one way to skin a cat, but there is only one right way. I know that one should never speak of politics or religion in polite company because it rarely remains polite after that. I know dogs are loyal, cats are jerks, horses are noble, and birds just annoy the living crap out of me. I know a good friend will always offer a solution when you need one; your BEST friend won't offer it until you're done complaining.

WHY THE TITLE?

"What does 'Stupid Is A Five Letter Word' mean?" you ask smartly.

It relates to a long-ago evening with friends. We were sitting around talking before dinner. The discussion moved to a topic that has since been lost to time, but must have been about something ridiculous, moronic, and undoubtedly funny. With the insouciant flare of the terminally correct, one of my friends declared, "Well, I've got a five letter word for that!" She paused for dramatic effect, just the right three second beat, and said, "Stupid."

Frozen by her confident demeanor, we shared furtive glances, trying to gauge the proper response, before just simply losing it and laughing until we cried.

"Oh, good God. Stupid has six letters."

Yes. Yes, it does.

At least she didn't spell it out and still not realize the correct number of letters like the intellect of the Democratic party. "I've got a three letter word for you. JOBS. J-O-B-S. JOBS."

Yeah, like that.
