G&B Thursday

HappyNewYear

So…  This day is it for 2015.  Yawn.

Another year in which I did not finish my novel.  Oh, it has over the NaNoWriMo 50,000 words, but it is a long way from being in any sort of shape to send to a publishing house.

I know it’s my fault. This fall I was so busy with other distractions that it sat, lonely in my office, waiting. Whenever I tried to work on the thing, I would run into something else I needed to research.  Grrrr!  I am tired of research after 3 years, but I want the story to be perfect.  Is that too much to ask?

Probably.

OK. That was the Bits.  Now for the Giggles (I think they are funny anyway…)

New Years Eve is the only acceptable time to wear body glitter without being mistaken for a stripper.

Dear God, my prayer for 2016 is a FAT bank account and a THIN body. Please don’t mix it up like you did this year.

Did you know that McDonald’s is offering the “Obama Happy Meal?”  Order anything you want. And the guy behind you has to pay for it.

 

See ya Next Year!

New & Improved! Giggles & Bits

Giggles & Bits Thursdays will continue into the new year. However, Thursdays posts will no more be “Giggles & Bits” – In 2016, this column will be “G&B”, standing for “Giggles & Bits” of course, without all that annoying typing.

That being explained, I am trying something new next year:  Guest Posts!

This means, dear readers, I need YOUR help. I hate admitting this, but there are days when I just don’t feel funny. Sarcasm usually carries me through, but I am dealing with hormones and a cold, so I’m not even in the mood to hear funny stories, let alone pass them along.

My deepest apologies.

But wait!  There’s MORE!

Now YOU have a chance to be featured on Not Pretending (to be sane)! Share a funny story from your life, or let it all out in a rant (very therapeutic.) If a photo or poem gives you the giggles, please submit that  🙂  If you are shy – check the “remain anonymous” box and your identity will be kept private.

Giggles & Bits: Understanding Engineers

Even if you don’t know any engineers I think you will enjoy this!

Understanding Engineers One:
Two  engineering students were walking across a university campus when one said,  “Where did you get such a great bike?”
The second engineer replied, “Well,  I was walking along yesterday, minding my own business, when a beautiful woman  rode up on this bike, threw it to the ground, took off all her clothes and  said, “Take what you want.”
The first engineer nodded approvingly and  said, “Good choice; the clothes probably wouldn’t have fitted you, anyway.”

Understanding Engineers Two:
To the optimist, the glass  is half-full.
To the pessimist, the glass is half-empty.
To the  engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be..

Understanding Engineers Three:
A priest, a doctor,  and an engineer were waiting one morning for a particularly slow group of  golfers.  The engineer fumed, “What’s with those guys?  We must have  been waiting for fifteen minutes!”
The doctor chimed in, “I don’t know,  but I’ve never seen such inept golf!”
The priest said, “Here comes the  green-keeper. Let’s have a word with him.”
He said, “Hello George,  what’s wrong with that group ahead of us?  They’re rather slow, aren’t  they?”
The green-keeper replied, “Oh, yes.  That’s a group of blind  firemen.  They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from a fire last  year, so we always let them play for free anytime.”
The group fell silent  for a moment.
The priest said, “That’s so sad.  I think I will say a  special prayer for them tonight.”
The doctor said, “Good idea.  I’m  going to contact my ophthalmologist colleague and see if there’s anything he  can do for them.”
The engineer said, “Why can’t they play at night?”

Understanding Engineers Four:
What is the  difference between mechanical engineers and civil engineers?
Mechanical  engineers build weapons.  Civil engineers build targets.

Understanding Engineers Five:
The graduate with a  science degree asks, “Why does it work?”
The graduate with an engineering  degree asks, “How does it work?”
The graduate with an accounting degree  asks, “How much will it cost?”
The graduate with an arts degree asks, “Do  you want fries with that?”

Understanding Engineers Six:
Three engineering students were gathered together discussing who  must have designed the human body.
One said, “It was a mechanical  engineer. Just look at all the joints.”
Another said, “No, it was an  electrical engineer. The nervous system has many thousands of electrical  connections.” The last one said, “No, actually it had to have been a  civil engineer.  Who else would run a toxic waste pipeline through a recreational area?”

Understanding Engineers Seven:
Normal people believe that if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it..
Engineers believe that if it ain’t broke, it doesn’t have enough features  yet.

Understanding Engineers Eight:
An engineer  was crossing a road one day, when a frog called out to him and said, “If you  kiss me, I’ll turn into a beautiful princess.”  He bent over, picked up  the frog and put it in his pocket.
The frog then cried out, “If you kiss  me and turn me into a princess, I’ll stay with you for one year and do  ANYTHING you want.”
Again, the engineer took the frog out, smiled at it  and put it back into his pocket.
Finally, the frog asked, “What is the  matter?  I’ve told you I’m a beautiful princess and that I’ll stay with  you for one year and do anything you want.  Why won’t you kiss me?”
The engineer said, “Look, I’m an engineer.  I don’t have time for a  girlfriend, but a talking frog, now that’s cool.”
