<p>President Calvin Coolidge and his wife allegedly visited a government farm one day and were taken around on separate tours. Mrs. Coolidge, passing the chicken pens, inquired of a supervisor whether the lone rooster was sufficient, given the many hens in the chicken flock.</p>
<p>“Yes”, the man said, “the rooster works very hard.”</p>
<p>Mrs. Coolidge then asked, “Really? The rooster works very hard? Every day?”</p>
<p>“Oh, yes,” the man said. “Dozens of times a day.”</p>
<p>“Interesting!” Mrs. Coolidge replied, “Be sure to tell that to the President!”</p>
<p>Some time later the President, passing the same pens, was told about the roosters — and about his wife’s remark. “Same hen every time?”, he asked.</p>
<p>“Oh, no, a different one each time,” the supervisor replied.</p>
<p>“Tell that,” Coolidge said with a sly nod, “to Mrs. Coolidge.”</p>
<p>… as an aside, and not to be a spoilsport, but I do kinda agree that it is probably better not to have dual conversations in one thread that are really from/related to another thread. This can confuse readers who aren’t reading both threads. Its perfectly reasonable to refer the readers in one thread to the other thread, but to carry on cross conversations from one to the other is just a little confusing, IMO. In some cases (not this one, but another one) political issues from one thread were unnecessarily brought into another thread, and essentially tanked the second thread. That was unnecessary. OK,I’ll go get my cup of coffee and cheer up now-- will relinquish the curmudgeon role back to its rightful owner :)</p>
<p>hehe, that’s okay, some of us like the bad boy. You know the type, he’s hanging out at the bar with all the fun people, while were out in the cold, peeking in through the window, with nothing but a slice of pizza to keep us warm. :(</p>
<p>but seriously, I hope Mrs. P2N gets to feeling better. I’m glad you fixed your Valentine’s dinner earlier in the week.</p>
<p>Nasty bug going around. No fun. Sorry its in the sunshine state as well. Tell mrs p2n to feel better.</p>
<p>Not in a happy mood at this end. Why would DH’s company choose VD to announce huge layoffs?? (It just begs for lots of bad jokes and sarcastic comments, doesnt it?). DH is in a big meeting as we speak to hear of the planned carnage. He survived the last 2 big layoffs-- so I am crossing my fingers. Got lots of big tuition bills to pay…</p>
<p>As for age, we’ve discussed this before. DH is much younger than I (4 1/2 yrs). He doesn’t get much sympathy from me when he complains of some ache/pain/sleep problem/memory problem, etc. Been there, done that. Got the t-shirt.</p>
<p>As for the pizza discussion-- p2n you do get around. I’ve seen it in at least 3 threads… As per coronax’s post… I guess you are bar-hopping (Either that or you are getting REALLY old and you are repeating yourself ). OK-- I’ll duck…</p>
<p>^^ Oh, jym, BTDT with the job dealio a few times…Hope your dh survives this layoff, but it’ll be hard on him either way as I’m sure that he’ll know many that WON’T surivive it. <em>sigh</em> {{{{{hugs}}}}} Fingers crossed for you both.</p>
<p>Thanks, berurah. The phone hasn’t rung yet, and he said he’d call me if he was given his walking papers, so I will keep holding my breath. The news said some of the layoffs would be spread out over time and would include attrition, so we’ll see. Once, many yrs ago, they held an off site meeting for one division, where they basically told all those people they were closing that division, and while the people were in the meeting , their computer access codes, passwords, badges, etc were all being deactivated. Can you IMAGINE??!? Not nice!</p>
