THAT YELLOW AND BLACK BOOK

Recently I got an email from an old pal of mine from where I once worked, it went something like this:

Dear What’s Your Face,
Glad to see you’re back. What’s that black and yellow book all about in the picture in the cabinet on your blog?

PS, Let’s not let it get around that I read DelBloggolo

My feeling is that there should be a book on Life for Dummies. One that will help you get through things and maybe get you back in bed safely for the next day’s events.

For instance: You go to a wake. “He looks good!” “Yup, he looks like he did when he was alive, very natural!” “Looks like he’s just sleeping.” You big Dummy, he’s dead!

You are sleeping; it is early morning, your usual wake up time. You can’t get out of bed, why? Its raining, gloomy and miserable out, your body is telling you: “Stay in bed. STAY IN BED.’ What do you do? You big Dummy, YOU get up!

You are in the supermarket ready to check out. There is only one lady in front of you. She has 10,000,000 items in the 10 items or less line, she is questioning the price of something that costs 29 cents, AND, she is paying with a check. Except for the change part of her bill, which comes out to 99 cents, she is counting out in pennies. You big Dummy, you stay in line and fume.

Driving along the interstate, you decide to take a short cut. You zip off and head into the biggest traffic jam in the world. You big Dummy, you don’t get off the road and go back on the interstate.

Wish there was a black and yellow book on reading this blog. Turn the page and write to: joedelbroccolo@yahoo.com, tell him: “You should be the only one reading the Dummy books.
