Sad that I can write a headline like I did…. And it is!
Ok- gotta be a funny story in here somewhere, right? And, my fellow shrewdom denizens, there is!
Furthermore, it’s a true story and it happened today….
My wife and I werr dring around today- running errands. The topic of conversation was the video of Donald Trump’s public simulation of oral sex on a microphone, hard on the heels of his public soliloquy on the imagined attributes of Arnold Palmer’s penis.
Both of us are retired pastors so we’ve seen and heard quite a bit. Trump’s performance reminded us of the performative displays of teenaged boys. We laughed.
But then my wife started laughing even harder.
“What?” I asked
“I just remembered something…. Something I’ve never told anyone about until right now.”
“OK. You have my attention.”
“Years ago in the Madison church (she served as an associate pastor in wisconsin 1990-1995) Hi went to visit this wonderful, prim older woman in the psychiatric unit. She was having some sort of psychotic episode and they were trying to get her meds adjusted…. Anyway, we weren’t really having what you would call ‘a conversation’. Mostly she was just talking nonsense and I was just sitting there, trying to find some connection.”
“Been there, done that,” I responded.
“but then,” she continued, “I decided to listen to what she was actually saying, even with all the disjointed sentences and mumblings….and it became immediately apparent that she was in the middle of some sort of fantasy about having sex with a donkey…… funny, but that’s what Trumps performance with that microphone reminded me of.”

Good use of "junk"
I also think Schwantz should be more mainstream.

Congratulations Pastor Bill and and to your wife. ❤️
Thanks, LM. We were married two years ago in our front yard. A gathering of good friends. A good time was had by all. The weather was perfect for the wedding and dinner, and concluded under early October skies with swapping memories and stories while sitting around a bonfire in the backyard.
We still get comments regarding how fun it was.
As two retired ministers, we were committed to the idea of putting together a wedding that eliminated the extraneous stuff and focused on gathering my friends, and her friends, and our friends in a way that enabled all of them to have fun- together.

Didn’t even notice….
Having had cataract surgery a year and a half ago, my close up vision isn’t what it used to be, and my posts, at least when I post on my phone, usually have a couple of mistakes as well.
