Mensa material

It felt good?

Like son, like father.

Yes, and water goes IN the glass, you idiot. Never saw a razor flag before. I’m trying to visualize their stack of flags. Or may be a ROOM of flags. I swear, between shopping carts of junk food and flags, I don’t see them having money left over for the mortgage.

And where is SHE ready to go?! (WAY before him, yet!)

My deodorant lasts a good long time, if I never remove the clear plastic cap.

I use my father’s Norelco. He’s been gone for 20 years, and even though I clean it on a regular basis, I would like to think that one or two of his whiskers is still in there.

Like father like son.

I just replaced a 20 year old electric razor. The replacement is a newfangled contraption which is rechargeable and bells and whistles. A feature I don’t and won’t use is an app that connects to my phone and will give me data on my shaving. Last thing I need besides an incurable disease is something else monitoring my activities.

Norm doesn’t fall far from the oak tree.

I stopped using my electric shaver about ten years ago. I’ve decided to start using it again, but I can’t find the cord. I guess I threw it out and kept all the useless ones.

“Little tiny hairs… Growin’ out my face!”

I know it’s from a disgraced comedian, but it’s one of his phrases I’ve always remembered…

But removing the cap wasn’t in the instructions.

You married him and had spawn together.

And you need to charge it.

We had a going-away dinner for a manager and our local suck-up had put together a slideshow. He couldn’t get the projector running and was struggling until I jokingly yelled out to remove the lens cap. Guess what the problem was.

Where Norman gets it from.
