“Faulty” tasking.

I think it’s too hard. I’m not sure anyone will pass the class.

Where can I sign up?

If only there was a mandatory training class to teach politicians how to balance their figures at the same time they are doing their budgets.

OUCH, my tongue!

Actually the gum should be stuck under their chairs. At least that was the way National Lampoon Lemmings did it.

Reminds me of Lyndon Johnson’s characterization of Gerald Ford. . .

Next, blowing bubbles and talking at the same time.

The balance isn’t even the hard part.

That would be coordinating the separate movements simultaneously.

This must be ‘executive’ training.

The temptation to send this to certain people I know. Must… resist… the temptation…

They just came from the Walmart next door.

Don’t try this at home.

Those who graduate move on to the “pat your head and rub your tummy” seminar.

First White House cabinet meeting, January 2025

Ok, now walk, chew gum and text on your phone…

The advanced course is “patting your head while rubbing your stomach.” Or vice versa…

The challenge is to immediately be rubbing and patting at the same time. It takes a second or so for one’s brain to get into the two different movements.

At the risk of starting a conflagration, wheres Gerald?

I have enough trouble walking without the gum.

I had a first date where the woman refused a stick of gum, while we were walking down the street. I took this as a good sign. I had, at last, found a woman who could walk and eschew gum at the same time. (Copyright 2024)
