How to Stop ISIS & Save a Life

As my family coughed its was through the week, it occurred to me that there’s a simple, bloodless way to stop ISIS and save the Japanese prisoner and possibly future ISIS captives: agree to their proposed prisoner exchange.  But before sending the prisoner back to ISIS, make sure she’s in the process of developing this year’s flu.  She can spread it during her welcome-back celebration.  Those tough guys won’t be able to handle it because they can’t shoot or blow up germs, and that’s all they know how to do.

 

 

 

An Enlightened Man

Kudos to my husband, an enlightened man.  Each morning we watch the news together with our first cup of coffee.  At some point the stock-exchange report comes on, showing a group from a company happily ringing the opening bell.  Most mornings he startles our dog, who is sleeping peacefully at our feet.  He does that by gruffly exclaiming, “Where are the women?!”  He doesn’t think that it’s right that all those suits appearing on the stock-exchange stage are filled with men.  Yes, there are a few women from time to time–one or two mixed in with all the testosterone. Watch it for yourself; then wake up your poor dog or cat with a hearty “Where are the women?!” I’ll just sip my coffee and smile when it happens at our house.
