Where did I put my car keys?
Where?
Where?
Oh gosh, where?

Maybe the Taliban are afraid of dentists as much as we are. When was the last time you saw one visit a dentist? Should we send dentists, instead of troops, to Afghanistan?

A dentist who moonlights as a terrorist would have to be the scariest person alive.

Politicians should vote as if they are in the same boat as us. Representatives and Senators voting for the Health Care Bill should drop their current coverage in favor of the one in the bill. Those voting against the bill should drop their current government-provided coverage and sign on with an insurance company.

As I zipped into e-mail I noticed the headline, “Connecticut Chimp To Sue State.” Wow! I didn’t know simians were that intelligent or greedy. Alas, a reread produced, “Connecticut Chimp Victim Seeks to Sue State.” Good, but not as good.

True scenario. American Express double bills me so that checks bounce at BofA. BofA charges me $35 per check and another $35 for not fixing my checking account within five days. I get that notice on the sixth day. BofA is deemed too big to fail and gets billions in TARP. I lose in the stock market  in 2008 and get nothing. Outraged, I e-mail President Obama and my state senator and representative. The fees get rescinded. Coincidence?

I’d like some TARP billions, too. I’m too big to fail at my home.

I took a test in a magazine to see if I would live to be 100. I consistently gave the wrong answer. Then I got stumped by the following question, “When did you have menopause?” More questions of that ilk followed. Guess I am not destined to be an old lady.

I heard on the radio about an advance in agriculture that was sweeping the nation. It was called crop rotation. Isn’t that 4,000 years old?

I had always thought I enjoyed Halloween because it was the only time when neighbors open their doors to everyone. But one of my sons said I like it because, “It releases my inner creepiness.”

I shall be defending my poetry title in February at the Writers’ Conference in San Diego. My winning poem from last year was called “Regret” and was about penguins.
