In the smoking-car the conversation turned to the merits and demerits of various ways of preserving health.

One stout, florid man held forth with great eloquence on the subject.

"Look at me!" he said.  "Never a day's sickness in my life, and all due to simple food.  Why, gentlemen," he continued, "from the age of twenty to that of forty I lived an absolutely simple regular life - no effeminate delicacies, no late hours, no extravagances. Every day, in fact, summer and winter, I was in bed regularly at nine o'clock and up again at five in the morning. I worked from eight to one, then had dinner - a plain dinner, mark my words: after that, an hour's exercise; then--"

"Excuse me, sir," interrupted the facetious stranger in the corner, "but what were you in jail for?"

I hate it when people act all intellectual and talk about Mozart when they've never even seen one of his paintings.

Sunday greetings everyone!

It's been a very busy week here at Cybersalt World Headquarters. With the growing power of artificial intelligence, a lot of folks are using it for good — preemptively finding vulnerabilities in software so they can be patched before anyone gets hurt. Trouble is, plenty of folks are using AI for exactly the opposite, and this week I've been cleaning up after sites that got hit by holes humans never thought to look for in all these years — but AI did.

All things considered, it's a very interesting time to be alive.

Today's video share is a fun Dean Martin and Bob Newhart comedy skit — and the funniest bit isn't the script. It's watching the two of them try (and fail) to keep a straight face while doing everything they can to crack each other up.

Fathering

A man speaks frantically into the phone, "My wife is pregnant, and her contractions are only two minutes apart!"

"Is this her first child?" the doctor queries.

"No, you idiot!" the man shouts. "This is her husband!"

My Grandpa reached 110 yesterday; that's the last time I get in the car with him driving.

Truly Stellar 🌠

My sister came second place in an astronomy competition. She won the constellation prize. She was over the moon!

“The Bible tells us to love our neighbors, and also to love our enemies; probably because they are generally the same people.”

Pastors' Kids in Church

The minister of a well-attended, strong, and enthusiastic church often showed himself ready and able to deal with any situation that might come up.

One Sunday, just as the minister was reaching the climax of his sermon, his own young son entered the church, ran to the center aisle, started making loud beeps and brrrmms like a car without a muffler, then zoomed right toward him.

The minister stopped his sermon, pointed directly at his son, and commanded, "Jimmy, park the car immediately beside your mother on that bench (pointing), turn off the ignition, and hand her the keys."

The sermon continued undisturbed after a good laugh by the congregation.

Why Are Flies So Attracted to My Nose?

Throughout my life, I have dealt with many "pesky" things that provoke the dickens out of me. I sure do miss those "dickens.” When I think I've got one pesky thing under control, another comes along.

I've had so many "pesky" things, but I'm still not a master in that area.
