The Cybersalt Digest

Cybersalt News

Sunday greetings everyone!

Grandma Cybersalt and I have settled into our summer routine — the past couple of weeks have been a bit of a lull of activity. It's not that we're not busy or don't have things to do, but the empty days are letting us knuckle down on our work and catch up.

The weather has been very nice too — not too cold, not too hot. The only reason we had the heat pump on this week was that we had to close the windows because of all the dust coming from the tractor that's started digging up the dog park next door.

Today's video share is one where you might start to feel like what this fellow is doing is unfair. But watch till the end — you'll see him learn a lesson the hard way when he plays mini golf against his wife.

Things You Do Not Want to Hear in Surgery

A brown skinned doctor standing in a lab coat with a stethoscope around his neck,, arms crossed, looking directly at us.

"Better save that. We'll need it for the autopsy."
"Somebody call the janitor — we're going to need a mop."
"Accept this sacrifice, O Great Lord of Darkness."
"Sparky! Come back with that! Bad Dog!"
"Wait a minute, if this is his spleen, then what's that?"
"Hand me that... uh... that uh... thingie."
"Oh no! I just lost my Rolex."
"Oops! Hey, has anyone ever survived a full hypo of this stuff before?"
"Everybody stand back! I lost my contact lens!"
"Could you stop that thing from beating; it's throwing my concentration off."
"What's this doing here?"
"I hate it when they're missing stuff in here."
"That's cool! Now can you make his leg twitch?!"
"I wish I hadn't forgotten my glasses."
"Well folks, this will be an experiment for all of us."
"Sterile, schmerile. The floor's clean, right?"
"Anyone see where I left that scalpel?"
"Next, we remove the subject's brain and place it in the body of the ape."
"Now take a picture from this angle. This is truly a freak of nature."
"This patient has already had some kids, am I correct?"
"Nurse, did this patient sign the organ donation card?"
"Don't worry. I think it is sharp enough."
"What do you mean, 'You want a divorce'!"
"She's gonna blow! Everyone take cover!!!"
"FIRE! FIRE! Everybody get out!"
"And next week, we'll be learning how to stitch up a patient..."

There's More ...

One-Liner #2041

Black and white photo of a man in his 30s with black hair, glasses and short facial hair looking off to the side thinking. I told my wife to embrace her mistakes; she gave me a hug.

A photo of the scales of justice, a black briefcase and a judge's wooden block and gavel. If you continue to defend your child's wrong behavior, one day you will pay an attorney to do the same.

52 Bible Verses for Men Week 14: Based on John 5 and James 5

This is a spiritual or gospel-style song that weaves together two biblical narratives about healing. The first part references the Pool of Bethesda from the Gospel of John, where Jesus heals a paralyzed man. The second part draws from the Epistle of James, which encourages prayer, confession, and calling upon church elders for healing. The lyrics create a call-and-response structure, emphasizing the command to "get up" and the question of whether one truly "wants to be healed."

Week 14

Enormously Gorgeous

A black and white photo a pre-teen girl wearing a head band and glasses, looking down so we can't see her eyes. My Dad says I am Enormously Gorgeous. I wonder if I really am?

To be Enormously Gorgeous...Sarah says you need to have beautiful long curly hair like she has. I don't.

To be Enormously Gorgeous...Justin says you must have perfectly straight white teeth like he has. I don't.

To be Enormously Gorgeous...Jessica says you can't have any of those little brown dots on your face called freckles. I do.

To be Enormously Gorgeous...Mark says you have to be the smartest kid in the seventh grade class. I'm not.

To be Enormously Gorgeous...Stephen says you have to be able to tell the funniest jokes in the school. I don't.

To be Enormously Gorgeous...Lauren says you need to live in the nicest neighborhood in town and in the prettiest house. I don't.

To be Enormously Gorgeous...Matthew says you can only wear the coolest clothes and the most popular shoes. I don't.

To be Enormously Gorgeous...Samantha says you need to come from a perfect family. I don't.

But every night at bedtime my dad gives me a big hug and says, "You are Enormously Gorgeous, and I love you."

My dad must know something my friends don't.

Oh Where is My Hair

A bald man with glasses running a razor over the head of another elderly bald man. It is true that I don't pay attention to many things in life. I guess I'm just too busy to notice everything.

The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage always asks me why I'm not paying attention. To keep engaged in that argument, I say, "I'm too poor to pay attention. Could I borrow 25 cents from you?"

I have yet to get that 25 cents. But it is true, I don't pay attention.
