Glass Half Full

A lot of really funny memes out there where somebody clearly missed the context, the facts, the tone, or something...I’m pretty sure these two responses, the posters made the jokes on purpose and are not the unwitting butts of them. They are the witting butts of them, which is the way to go if your audience is able to keep up with you.

Time for my semi-annual Classmates.com story: I had an account years ago, filled out a lot of information, waited for classmates to show up but very few of them did. This was in the early days of the internet and my generation was not computer-savvy for the most part. We used slide rules. We didn’t have calculators, let alone cell phones. Anyway at some point I decided it was a barren source of amusement and deleted my account. Or so I thought: apparently I was not computer-savvy myself. Anyway, what happened was somehow instead of getting deleted I got transferred to another high school with the same name as my high school in a different state. I don’t know exactly what my profile says there because I don’t have an account with classmates anymore, and I’m not about to start up another one just to see. 

However, I get emails from them every few days with updates about what my classmates are doing, who’s joined recently, and what new pictures have been added. Of course, I don’t know any of these people, and they don’t know me. 

This reminds me of my favorite nativity joke. Mary asks Joseph what he wants to name the baby and Joseph leans in for a better look, bangs his head against a support beam and exclaims “Jesus Christ!” as he rubs his sore noggin. Well, the rest is history.

So many sad stories could be averted. Every January after Christmas, humane societies across America are inundated with unwanted Greenland Sharks.
