A Little History Lesson

A Little History Lesson

Never mind the do-it-yourself vasectomy angle. I’d like to point out what’s really interesting about this video. Stay with me, here, I’m going to be talking ancient history. You know, stuff from way back when, in the murky past before even Facebook was a thing. I’m talking old, man. Anyway, people, at one time, used to dig big holes in the ground, line the hole with concrete, fill them with water, and then occasionally swim in them.  No, really, I’m not making this stuff up. People actually did that.

You know, I occasionally try to tell young whippersnappers that swimming pools weren’t always just for skateboarding, but they don’t believe me. They think I’m even crazier when I tell them that people used to talk directly into their cellphones, and even receive phone calls, instead of typing little messages and looking at other people’s meals on them.

This young man with the myopic Jesus haircut/glasses combo and the assistant manager of a Wendy’s fashion sense is the hero these times need, if not the hero these times wanted. He’s making his bones early in politics, so to speak. He’s one of those fabulous few who can convince an audience that he’s totally right, and be totally ignored anyway. I agree. Let’s stop calling chicken tenders “boneless chicken wings.” And if you ask me, we should call drumsticks “fowl-aplegic meat” instead. That’s an example of why no one ever asks me anything.
