Nikita was describing how they played the game of Life the previous evening when I picked her up from her sleepover. And suddenly asked me – “What is honeymoon? Do you put honey on the moon?”. Desperately trying to stifle a laugh, I tried to explain “When you get married, after the wedding ceremony you will go with your husband for a vacation to a nice place like Hawaii and that is called honeymoon”. She thought for a second said “Ok. I will let him pay for it”. 
There was no attempt to stifle any laughter this time 🙂 as I thought “Man, the apple never falls too far from the tree” 🙂

CNN reports: “An elected county judge in Texas is warning that the nation could descend into civil war if President Barack Obama is re-elected, and is calling for a trained, well-equipped force to battle the United Nations troops he says Obama would bring in”

I have a question for the history buffs: Was that Texas secession thingy a one-way arrangement or can the rest of the country force the issue? 🙂

From my favorite Ogden Nash – this one describes “The Wasp”

“
The wasp and all his numerous family 
I look upon as a major calamity. 
He throws open his nest with prodigality, 
But I distrust his waspitality.
“

I move that Alpharetta be renamed Gandhinagar or something 🙂 All in agreement say “zaroor zaroor” 🙂

This was too funny not to post. Took me a few seconds…

Romney at it again!! He introduced his running mate Paul Ryan this morning as the “next President of USA”. Either he plans to die in the run up to the election or outsource his job after winning the election 🙂 Either way, can we push out the election date? I need some more stand up comedy material 🙂 🙂

Any one of you who have been with me to a bar or restaurant probably know that I often respond to the barman / waiter’s usual question of “Can I get you anything else?” with “Yes. A million dollars would help.” It almost always leads to some laughs and breaks the formality. The standard answers are “If I had it, I would not be here” or “If I find it, I will be sure to share” and so on..

This week I was having lunch at J. Alexander in Dunwoody with some execs from LLS and the waitress had a memorable and very witty answer. Moment I responded to her usual question with “Sure. A million dollars please”, she thought for a moment and said “No problem. It will cost you two (million) though”. She had me beat 🙂 Loved it 🙂

Swimming. More swimming. Even more swimming. Diving. Diving. Synchronized swimming. Now water polo. I think those NBC guys accidentally screwed on their cameras onto the poles next to the pool permanently 🙂
