A little old lady is sitting on a park bench in Trailer Estates.
A man walks over and sits down on the other end of the bench.
After a few moments, the woman asks, "Are you a stranger here?"

He replies, "I used to live here years ago."

"So, where were you all these years?"

"In prison," he says.

"For what did they put you in prison?"

He looks at her, and very quietly says, "I killed my wife."

"Oh," says the woman. "......so you're single..."

A little old man shuffled slowly into the "Orange Dipper”, an ice cream parlor, and pulled himself slowly, painfully, up onto a stool.

After catching his breath he ordered a banana split.

The waitress asked, "Crushed nuts?"

“No," he replied, "arthritis.''

When a woman wears leather Clothing, a man's heart beats quicker, his throat gets dry, he goes weak in the knees and he begins to think irrationally.

Ever wonder why?

Word of the Day for Tuesday February 7, 2006

tendentious \ten-DEN-shuhs\, adjective:Marked by a strong tendency in favor of a particular point of view.

Most writing about Wagner has been like political pamphleteering--tendentious, one-sided and full of revisionist zeal.-- Erich Leinsdorf, "The Cruel Face of Genius," New York Times, May 15, 1988

Since I believe all novels are political, I certainly believe that it is possible for a novelist to admix deliberate political purpose and aesthetics, although there is certainly the danger, in the process, of making art that is tendentious . . and therefore not terribly artistically interesting.-- Rick Moody, "quoted in Politics and the Novel: A Symposium," Los Angeles Times, August 13, 2000

All types of social disagreements seem to be routed almost inexorably into the tendentious jargon and intellectually impoverished categories of legal reasoning, until everyone from Alan Dershowitz to the guy fixing your radiator insists on giving you his opinion about fundamental rights, or presumptions of innocence, or probable cause, or--God help us--"what the Constitution requires."-- Paul F. Campos, Jurismania: The Madness of American Law
