~ Things I Know Nothing About ~

I have a sign over my desk that says, “There has been an alarming increase in the number of things I know nothing about.” I put the sign there as a joke, but it’s not so funny when you realize how true it is.

I may be wrong, but it seems to me that the more I read, the less I understand.

Take, for example, the national budget.
As far as I know, everybody agrees that it would be a good thing to balance the national budget; but nobody seems willing to just go ahead and do it. I don’t understand that.

I don’t understand how the electoral college works, or why we need it. Seems to me that the fella that gets the most votes ought to get the job.

I don’t understand what Ralph Nader does for a living.

I don’t understand why, if four-wheel-drive vehicles are so good, we didn’t have them years ago.

I don’t understand why the U.S. stays in the U.N. I can’t recall the U.N.’s accomplishing anything. I mean, we wound up in Korea and Vietnam while we were all paid up in our dues. If the U.N. can’t solve anything, what good is it?

I don’t understand why old beer cans last forever, and new cars rust out.

I don’t understand what makes the Chinese such good ping pong players.

I don’t understand how preachers can play golf, ‘cause it makes me cuss a lot.

I don’t understand folks who drink Scotch. I’ve tried it. It tastes bad.

Yes, sir, there has been an alarming increase in the number of things I know nothing about.

How about you?
