   The comedian Ritch Shydner had a routine about how so many men are embarrassed to buy feminine hygiene products for their significant others. He said, “Not me. I’m happy to do it. I hold them up high and shout, ‘I got a woman!’ I look for ones without a price tag so they have to call for a price check so more people will know.”

   When I was in high school (way back when we rode dinosaurs to school), somebody in one of my math classes asked if we could use calculators on a test, kind of as a joke. The teacher said, “Sure,” and everybody was like, “Wait – are you serious?” He went on to say that he was, and there was no point in fighting technology, that it should be used and embraced, but…if you just wrote down an answer w/o showing your work, you’d get no credit because he’d have no way of knowing if you knew how to solve a problem. He said the important thing was showing you understood the concept.

   He didn’t miss the plane, he gave up his seat. The tour bus heater kept failing, and Buddy Holly chartered the plane for himself and the Crickets were supposed to join him. Big Bopper asked if he could switch with Jennings because he was ill. Buddy told Jennnings, and as they were parting, Holly taunted Jennings, yelling, “I hope your bus freezes!” Jennings yelled back, “Yeah? Well I hope your plane crashes!” He said he clearly didn’t mean it, and he never thought Holly thought he meant it, but he felt guilty about it the rest of his life.

    Reminds me of a joke I saw recently.

    I asked my daughter to get me the phone book. She just laughed and said, “OK, boomer. Maybe use this.” Then she tossed me her iPhone.

    Well, the spider’s dead, but the phone’s broken and my daughter is p*ssed.
