Nothing makes you think more about your mortality, than the death of a sibling.

I have never fallen out of bed and don't know anyone who has. I have heard of people falling into bed but I have not experienced it..

Many times I have seen the word unscathed used, but never the word scathe.

Americans have given up respect for the office of the Presidency. I doubt if it will ever return.

The only difference between the rich people and me is that they have more money.

I think my wife is going on a safari tomorrow.

She told me she is going to hunt for giant tigers. Not just any tiger, but giant ones. Can you imagine? She must be very brave. 

Everyone has their own dream....

unfortunately, some turn out to be nightmares.

Are girdles coming back into fashion, now they call them slimming belts?

The Flat Earth Society has members all around the Globe.

I once knew a guy whose name was Clowater. He used to sign his name CLO H2O.

I’m reading this story and the man says, “My name is Ahmed.”

It reminds me of yesterday when I was returning from Halifax. Almost all the way home, I was following a car with the license plate, AHMED.  

If you were going back in time, what would be the first thing to take with you?

I'm opting for a flea collar.

Some people that come to see you are visitors, others are people that stay too long.

How long should a visitor stay? From what I can tell, three days seems to be the magic number. But, this all depends on the people involved.

As we grow older, do the facts of our life turn into fiction?

Do the fish get larger? Do the lies get bigger? Do we change the dreams from the past to fit the present? Does this make us happy?

News to be proud of. "Cocaine use making a comeback in Cape Breton, police say."

There are some places in the past that people don’t like to acknowledge. You don’t want it to nag you through life but no matter how hard we try to forget them, they keep sneaking back.

John McCain said: “We never hide from history. We make history.”

Thinking about all the statues about the Civil War they have removed, I think they rewrite history. To prove the point, in the new movie of the landing on the moon, they will omit the American flag placed there by Neil Armstrong.

In the coal mining town where I grew up, everything was black with coal dust, the houses, the ground, the washed clothes on the line and the snow. But there was only one black man.

“The most troubling issue in many European cities these days is not migrants, its tourists.”

Having done a lot of travelling, I can relate to this. On my first trip to Rome, it was by way of a cruise ship. We were bussed in. At the Trevi Fountain, we could hardly move. Had trouble throwing my coins in. At the Vatican, we couldn’t get in because of the long lineups.

A week later we disembarked the ship in Venice, then took a train back to Rome, where we stayed awhile.

Now this was a totally different atmosphere. There were hardly anyone at the Trevi Fountain but too late for me, I already spent my coins. We went to the Vatican at 8:00 a.m. and there was maybe a dozen tourists. Took all the photos we wanted without a people background.

Last year we went to Germany and stayed in Munich and Fussen, a week each. It was just normal life, no pushing or shoving. Although any tourist attraction like Neuschwanstein castle, will have a lot of visitors, even from their own country.

Tourists bring in a lot of money, but it comes at a cost.

What laws will a government pass if the leader is a fool?
