868 people don’t like my​ post

That’s the number I came up with, when I deducted the average number of likes, from the number of followers on my little blog.

913       Followers

– 45     The average number of likes on a decent post

= 868  That means 868 followers must dislike everything I write. Bummer!

Not so smart but witty

 

My dad gave me one dollar bill

‘Cause I’m his smartest son,

And I swapped it for two shiny quarters

You are making me sick!

You cannot trust the American people, especially the poor and the middle class. Those bastards are sneaky and have no shame. They do not just pay for the health insurance premiums, they actually use the insurance. How dare they? *

The Ladies of the Redlight District

Years ago, when I was 18 years old, at a time when cell phones and GPS systems weren’t existing, I drove all by myself from Austria down to the South of Italy. It was just me, my little car and our old farm dog -a security measure my Grandmother had insisted on. 

Yes, doubt!

 

Religion made the word DOUBT a bad word. “Don’t doubt what I tell you, child. Believe what I say.” Isn’t it like saying, don’t you dare question anything, because I don’t have any answers?

To translate my life

 

TRANSLATE, this is my word, I live it since  30 years. I am the translator, the person in the back, who brings worlds together. 

Sound asleep

I have been a fan of the Daily Prompt from the start. Well, maybe not from the outset. First I had to find my way around but then, after I had found it, that’s when I was hooked. 

A Humorous Fool or a Serious Jackass?

 

 

“And where,” Socrates smiled, “is the universe?”
“The universe is well, there are theories about how it’s shaped…”
“That’s not what I asked. Where is it?”
“I don’t know – how can I answer that?”

No Filter between Brain and Mouth!

It is the truth. I think I don’t have it all together, there seems to be a major piece missing. The filter, the one, that goes between brain and mouth, I must have lost it. It’s gone.
