Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
Well said Pug me lad, and just like the old Seekers song “We’ll never find another you”
Still having bother with Mack and Tosh, relax and have an apple.
Quote Solo. “A leisurely Sunday thought”
Solo,that reminds me of the Readers Digest’s “Points to Ponder”, back in the 1950’s my Dad was sent the magazine every month, the American version sent from his older brother in Los Angeles. I used to read it when he was finished with it hoping for something juicy to increase my knowledge of the opposite sex, alas there was never anything like that in the Readers Digest, a real “Family” magazine if ever there was one, Father Moore used to read it and recommend it so say nah more.
I actually learned a lot about the facts of life from an old encyclopaedia my dad had in the parlour, it was published in 1886, 14 huge volumes, and I accidentally stumbled across a section entitled “Reproduction”, and walla! all was revealed, as Hercule Poirot would say.(actually there's a good joke in the making there, must think about that more deeply)
There were other regular features like “How to increase your word Power” which I was useless at, but my favourite was “The most unforgettable Character I ever meet”
Does the average man get enough sleep?
Well answering for meself, and I’m gone way beyond the average man, I reckon the average man to be the average age as Christ was when he died, 33 and smack in the middle of life. The advantage of being retired is you can get all the sleep you want when you want it, so my bet is the average man does not get all the sleep he needs, he’s too busy trying to stay average.
What is enough sleep?
Enough sleep is when you no longer feel tired, you’re fed up lying in the bed so you get up.
What is the average man?
Ah now that varies with the generations, each generation has it’s own model, and there have been some really weird specimens of the average man over the centuries. Average is on a par with “Normal” and what’s normal today wasn’t normal as little as 20 years ago.
What is does?
Handsome is as handsome some does, or so me granny used to say.
