Tom Bell Poet List

Another Taste of Tom's Tiny Tidbits of Trash

A few more words/ phrases I can do without;

"24/7"- I just can't seem to divide 24 by 7.
"But wait!!!... If you act right now....."- "Just how brain atrophied are you?
"We'll double your offer....."  (more to come on this)- Mays can always amaze...  
that insolent ****!
Would somebody please tell me just how many 8 oz. glasses of water are in the 
Atlantic ocean??  Who left the faucet dripping?
For years I thought LOL meant Land of Lakes cheese...I wondered just how 
many cheese freaks on the internet.....Just too key happy to cook?
Finally- a true historical story (well, I Was a history major, you know!).  Calvin 
Coolidge was a rather odd president...his nickname was "Silent Cal".  He rarely 
used his vocal cords...maybe they were disengaged from his cerebrum...  Well, 
anyway, at a formal White House dinner, seated next to him was some actress or 
some other form of high inellect... She turned to Calvin (No, he wasn't wearing 
jeans!), and comfidently said...."I've bet everyone here I can make you say three 
words. So he turned to her, and said, laconically (don't ya love these $10 words 
I've been parading for some reason lately!?),  "You Lose!"  Wish Bush would 
follow his example!  Carry On Cleo!!!
