Ask A Grump!

[Newsman]

A sleeping room! 


John 

What do you call a bedroom with no bed in it?

[Newsman]

Yes, but you can't see them 'cause of the shine!


John 

Can Bald people have Hairline fractures?

[Newsman]

Must be the sign of a guilty conscience.


John 

Aren't you in dire need of a vacation or possibly even retirement from investigating?  :grin:

My reply to Sister Mom to the fourth power for Lady SippinTea!


John 

Yeah, yeah.... what she said!! 

[MelodyB]

Are you gonna take us up on our offers to come to Florida for Christmas dinner with the Dingbats?

[Sis]

What do you call a bedroom with no bed in it?

Around here, we call it an office.

My reply to Sister Mom to the fourth power for Lady SippinTea!


John 

Yeah, yeah.... what she said!! 

Blah. Who, pray tell, recently scandalized people both here and abroad by resigning from a whole host of ministry duties?

That's right... yours truly.

And so far.... I'm not feeling guilty. (Well... at least not very much.)

[Newsman]

   Thank you and the other Dingbats again, Lady Melody, but I think I will be staying closer to home this holiday season..plus I have a three-day basketball tournament to broadcast from the Thursday, Friday and Saturday after Christmas in Fort Smith Arkansas

What is your Favorite Planet? and why?

[Newsman]

   I've thought of Neptune and Pluto, but I would have to argue Pluto in this past year, as it was stripped of its' plantary status, when supposedly very shortly before the conference, it's status seemed firmly secure.

   I have read that, had Pluto stayed a planet, then another celestial body that more has been learned about would have to be ruled a 10th planet in our solar system. By de-plentfying Pluto, neither are now conssidered planets.

   I'm certainly not an expert in astronomy, although I used to have some interest in the field, but I am tempted to term it institutional arrogance where a single conferebce can de-planetfy a body that has been recognized as one for decades.

   More of an answer than expected, correct?


John 

[Babs]

actually coming from you, no 

anything less would have been disappointing lol

[Newsman]

   Thankee, thankee

   As a teenager, I used to study astronomical data, and was interested in how many light-years away things were. At one point in my life I had interest in astrophysics, but I didn't have the mathematical backgorund for it.

   That isn't false modesty on the math part: while I work well with basic calculations, I didn't like the 'higher' forms of math, where I couldn;t place a concrete value on a number..for instance, the value of 'i', the imaginary number, is negative-one: how does that make logical, concrete-grasping sense?

   Remember, a positive times a positive is a positive, as, if I recall correctly, a negative times a negative: is a positive, and it is a positive times a negative or vice versa that is a negative..the chief engineer and I just discussed this, and we're not certain..I need to Google it!.

If you could ask God any single question, what would it be?

[Sis]

Yeah, it was kicked outa the union!

If nobody buys a ticket to a movie do they still show it?

[Babs]

If trees could scream would we all still be so cavalier about cutting them down?

[Newsman]

Hmm..three responses here

   I do not think much in terms of being able to question God..there are things I'd like to know the answer of, but wouldn't think it propr to ask God about.

   The last two are quite the questions..I think they would show the movie, in case they had latearrivals.

   No, as to would we cut so mnay trees down if we could hear them scream, but I do not ascribe human feelings to plant matter, nor do I think animals have souls.

If you called the police station to talk to an officer and he was not there, would that be considered a cop out?

[Babs]

What bible character was called "The Tishbite"?

[Newsman]

Yes, unless he had an excuse, then he would be coppin a plea..or if he were going to college at Coppin State!
