Misheard Lyrics of Bruce Springsteen

The great Bruce Springsteen had a hit with the superb song “Walk of Life.”

Only I didn’t hear it that way. For the longest time I thought he sang, “Do the walk on by.”

That really changes the meaning on the song from muddling through your existence, doing the walk of life, to throwing up your hands at what is going on around you to “Do the walk on by.” Just walk on by your problems, just walk away from them and your responsibilities. Given this interpretation, I rather wondered why so many people loved this song. But I heard wrong. I admit it. I’m sorry Boss.

It just goes to show you how exciting, how outside the box, life can be, when you mishear things.

Anywhere, here are the real lyrics to “Walk of Life.”

“And after all the violence and double-talk
There’s just a song in all the trouble and the strife
You do the walk, yeah, you do the walk of life
Hmm, you do the walk of life.”

Funny Thought

I’m proud to admit I’m a bit weird. The world needs more weirdness. Indeed, I saw the picture below and immediately thought the penguins were looking for a lost set of car keys.  And it struck me funny.

Bring Back the Milkman

Often enough, I only need a half gallon of milk, four sticks of butter, or a pound of cheese. Sure I could drive to the store, but it hardly seems worthwhile for just a half gallon of milk when the whole process of driving to the supermarket, parking, finding the milk, checking out, leaving the parking lot, and driving home.

If only there were a simple, convenient way to buy a small amount of dairy. Oh wait, there was. We called him the milkman. We place an order on our door step and he’d bring it from the stores of his truck.

Easy peasy.

And quite often the milkman brought other products as well. Here’s what I remember about the milkmen from the various towns of my youth.

Arcadia, California: The milk truck brought milk and I believe butter.

Earlwood, Australia: The milk truck brought milk and I believe butter and eggs.

Voorburg, Netherlands: The milk truck carried: milk, eggs, cheese, cans of soups, soda, and beer! I believe the milkman also delivered juice and jams.

I want a milkman who will bring all the items his counterpart in the Netherlands did. I want it! I want it!

Going to the store takes too long, cars are driven by nuts, and the stores are far too peoply.

I am willing to pay more for this service than from stores. I worked and saved all my life so I can now afford this service to my door.

Please make this happen. Thank you.

And please also let me know what your milkman delivered? Thanks again.

I am Running for the Speaker of the House

Tantrums by various politicians are keeping America from electing a Speaker of the House. America needs a Speaker of the House to move various bills toward legislation. I can do this. At least, I won’t stop it, especially the ones with bipartisan support.

People across America and the world tire of politicos throwing hissy fits on camera. Will I throw a hissy fit on camera? No, I am a confirmed introvert. I shall strive mightly to avoid ever appearing on tv or in print.

What will I do to reduce conflict in the House of Representatives (HORs)? Make midday naptimes mandatory for this august body. Naps in kindergarten prevented the kids from getting overtired and fusing. It will also work in the HORs.

There, what more do you need to know about me?

Oh, and save our bees.

And I like to cook. Would you like a homemade cookie?

Be Careful What You Ask For

Do they really want to always hire a retired, card-carrying introvert whose back hurts after standing on his feet for more than 10 minutes?

Besides:

“I don’t want to belong to any club that would accept me as one of its members.”

— Groucho Marx

Uh oh
