An atheist was seated next to a dusty old cowboy on an airplane and he turned to him and said, “Do you want to talk? Flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.”
The old cowboy, who had just started to read his book, replied to the total stranger, “What would you want to talk about?”
“Oh, I don’t know,” said the atheist. “How about why there is no God, or no Heaven or Hell, or no life after death?” as he smiled smugly.
“Okay,” he said. “Those could be interesting topics but let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff – grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, but a horse produces clumps. Why do you suppose that is?”
The atheist, visibly surprised by the old cowboy's intelligence, thinks about it and says, “Hmmm, I have no idea.”
To which the cowboy replies, “Do you really feel qualified to discuss God, Heaven and Hell, or life after death, when you don’t know ****?”...........

So true! I do check my pockets routinely but every now and then something slips by which my wife will point out to me, Some eight years ago, our front loading washer failed for an unrelated reason. Upon investigating, I found an Allen wrench in the drain line. It was small enough to fit through the holes on the drum. Had it made it to the pump, it would have been a catastrophic failure.

Bob, did you tell your wife about what you found, or just stay quiet?

This is true, stores will periodically relocate merchandise to get people looking around and possibly seeing something else they'll buy.

Brian, I just stayed quiet. One thing that I have learned in almost fifty years in two marriages is that some things are better left unshared.

Anyway, we had bigger problems with the machine. The aluminum spider that supported the drum was completely rotted away from the detergent and we were a week away from a six week trip to Europe with no replacement part available. We ended up replacing both the washer and dryer which was also a challenge because of problems fitting into the designated alcove.

The wrench was also corroded to the point that it was unusable but there were some nice scrap parts that I salvaged.

So true! with the pandemic, it had been over a year since I had set foot in our local DIY. I used to stop in every time I went into town and could find my way in the dark but now it was completely rearranged. It will take me years to reorient.
