Cybersalt News

Oh look, Chicken Thursday!

Today's new items are scattered and somewhat unrelated - much like my thoughts lately!

If you have tried to visit any of the pages on the Cybersalt.org site during the past 2 weeks you may have experienced it being very slow or not even coming up at all. The source of the problem was a real stumper for me, but yesterday I finally found it - and fixed it - with some key information from the server team!

Last week, when sharing fun "tew" sentences, I unnecessarily corrected J. J. Westberg's submission. February 22nd, 2022 (2/22/22) actually falls on a Tuesday (not a Wednesday), making it the most 2's Day possible until well into the future! In fact, I looked and February 22, 2222 is a Friday.

Which brings me to my next point which is a scheduling note. There will be no mailing on Chicken Thursday, February 21, 2222 due to the fact that I will be dead.

But I'm not dead yet, which brings me to a helpful correction from R. Fiori, who caught a mistake in last week's news when I referred to the burning freighter in the "straight" that our house overlooks. He rightly pointed out that I live on a "strait" and not a "straight." I don't mind this correction at all because usually people tell me where to go - not where I am!

Speaking of that burning ship, it is still smoldering and does catch back on fire from time to time, but everything seems to be under control. Before the fire broke out last week, that same ship lost over 100 containers in rough seas off the north coast of our island. Apparently, one of the containers has ruptured, spilling it's load of refrigerators. The waters around that spot aren't usually warm at all, but now they are downright frigid!

OK, it's getting late and I need to stop. I have even more things to mention that Cybersaltines sent in last week, but they will have to wait until until a future issue.

Today's video share is one that had me laughing out loud the other day.

In the doctors office two patients are talking.

"You know, I had an appendectomy last month and the doctor left a sponge in me by mistake."

"A sponge!" exclaims the other. "And do you feel much pain"

"No pain at all," says the first, "but do I get thirsty!"

Insomnia sharpens your math skills because you spend all night calculating how much sleep you'll get if you're able to "fall asleep right now."

Do you think a gallon of gas is expensive?

Just put things a bit in perspective.

Lipton Ice Tea 16 oz $1.19 = $9.52 per gallon

Ocean Spray 16 oz $1.25 = $10.00 per gallon

Gatorade 20 oz $1.59 = $10.17 per gallon

Diet Snapple 16 oz $1.29 = $10.32 per gallon

Whiteout 7 oz $1.39 = $25.42 per gallon

Brake Fluid 12 oz $3.15 = $33.60 per gallon

Scope 1.5 oz $0.99 = $84.48 per gallon

Pepto Bismol 4 oz $3.85 = $123.20 per gallon

Vick's Nyquil 6 oz $8.35 = $178.13 per gallon

And this is the REAL KICKER...

Evian water 9 oz $1.49 = $21.19 per gallon?! $21.19 for WATER - and the buyers don't even know the source. 

So, the next time you're at the pump, be glad your car doesn't run on water, Scope, or Whiteout, or heaven forbid Pepto Bismal or Nyquil!

Featured Illustrations are items well suited for illustrating or inspiring a point in a sermon, speech, or devotional. Funny, moving, or perhaps even graphic, the point of them is the point you make with them.
