The Week In Tweets: Special Lack-Of-Ability Edition!

In any conversation with my boss, he goes blah, blah, blah about nothing I care about, and, when he's done, I just agree.    Taking a nap. Or, as I like to call it, pressing life's "Pause" button.    I only ask you about your day so I can tell you about mine.    There are NO limits to what you can do. Lack of ability? That'll stop you every time.    I set up a camera in my house to see if my maid was stealing from me. You know what? She STOLE it!    Fake News Report!

as featured in Desert Exposure Magazine      “Only love can break your heart.” -- Neil Young    I had bad news for my father      His younger brother, whom I wrote about back in 2015, had lost his battle with cancer.      I went into my father’s bedroom. He was awake, just looking at the ceiling.      “Aren’t you going to get out of bed?” I asked.      “Can’t,” he said. “I’m dead.”      “What makes you think you’re dead?”      “Because I woke up and nothing hurts.”      That reminded me of how I first heard my uncle was sick. I was sitting by my father in the den, me on my laptop and him watching TV.      “What're you doing?” he wanted to know.      "Research,” I told him. “On Google."   ...

"Trust Us"

“He’s ...GUILTY!”     “Guilty of what?”     “Oh, he’s guilty all right.”     “Yes, but guilty of what?”     “Guilty of those things he did.”     “What things?”     “Illegal things.”     “What illegal things did he do?”     “The things he’s guilty of.”     “But WHAT things are he guilty of?”     “Those things he did that we can’t tell you about. Those things that we can’t charge him with. And we have the evidence. Oh, trust us, we have the evidence.”     “What evidence?”     “The evidence we have.”     “The evidence we can’t see?”     “Yes, THAT evidence. Important evidence.”     “So important that you can’t show it to us?”     “Yes. TREASONOUS evidence.”     “So treasonous that you’ll wait until after his second term before you’ll charge him with it?”     “That’s right. And his SON, too.”     “His so...

Six. Word. Horror. Story.

Smiling, the clown locked the door.    Never said I was a woman.    Grandpa was tough... and tasted awful.    Yes, Virginia, there IS a Pennywise.    For sale. Baby shoes. Don't ask.    Halloween. Look at all those treats.    I have my father's eyes. Tasty.    I'm lost. Who's that behind me?    Sex. Sex. Sex. Married. No sex.    Did I mention? I have AIDS.    This meat tastes funny. Where's grandma?    Is THAT a lump I feel?    The Secret Service read your tweets.    And that man was Jeffrey Dahmer. Why do these dates have legs?    But mommy SAID she'd be back!    "I thought you were dead?" "I am."    "I'm dead? Sweet Jesus!" "Guess again."    Who left the black door open?    Is THAT a gun he's carrying?    Turns out, it WAS a gun.    Turns o...

The Case of the Missing Keys

as featured in Desert Exposure Magazine   My elderly father, who lives with my wife and I, has his own set of keys to our house, so he comes and goes on his walks as he pleases. I used to try to look out for him, but no matter what I suggested, he’d do the opposite.      "Pop," I'd tell him, "It's hot. Why don't you wait until it cools off?"      "It's not hot," my father would say on his way out. On his way back in, he'd say, "Man, was it hot. I should have waited until it cooled off."      "Pop, it’s cold."      "Pop, it's raining."      "Pop, it's getting dark."      I retired from a job I really enjoyed to become a weatherman for my father.      On this particular day, my father gets home feeling good. So good, in fact, that he decides to go on an afternoon walk. The problem is, he can't...
