ROMAINE LETTUCE AND CAPITALIST PIGS

“no copyright infringement is intended”

It will soon be Thanksgiving Day.

People who want to shop quickly and efficiently on Black Friday should go easy on the turkey.

In fact, don't eat a thing.

Power to the people who are the fittist.

And especially don't eat any Romaine lettuce.

It could be a killer before you are injured or killed at the gathering of frenzied hordes on Black Friday.

I am probably too critical when I write CAPITALIST PIGS.

Most of us are capitalists, but not pigs.

But when I see images of people knocking each other over to be first to grab something that they probably don't need but want to buy, I believe capitalist and pig should then be conjoined.

(I just looked at my back yard. The pigeons are as big as turkeys.)

YOU'RE NOT A NEANDERTHAL SIT UP STRAIGHT

The March of Progress (pictured) is a now discredited theory that said humans (far right) evolved from chimps (far left). The image gives an illustrative view of different stages in the evolution of hominids. Modern-day humans have many extinct cousin species that share a common ancestor. These include: Homo heidelbergensis, Neanderthals and Homo erectus

Mother:

Sit up straight. You're hunching again.

Son:

But mom, I'm not a neanderthal.

Neanderthals again.

This time it's about their skeletal structure and posture.

Neanderthals may have walked more upright than modern humans.

They also may have had stronger lungs than us.

Neanderthals in marathon runs would have wiped our butts (but not literally).

SPEAK CLEARLY

News commentators need to speak more clearly... and

SLOW DOWN!

They're speaking so fast that words and pronunciations are left in the dust.

Maybe if they chewed gum it would slow down their speaking and help stick their words together.

And it isn't just the big cable news channels.

The garbling and mumbling occurs on the local news.

Just now I heard one well-known newsman say language, but it sounded like langage.

He said victory, and it sounded like vicory.

This bothers me.

I start yelling or change the channel.
