Scientific writing is so complicated sometimes. We must use theory before we can understand what is being written. To use deep thought in the process of understanding might just help.

    I find that the science of writing complicated material is best facilitated by a sassy, but non-obtrusive catalyst; a nice Pinot Grigio. I write too mellow on Merlot, too crabby on Cabernet and silly bubbly on champagne. I had deep thoughts once, but Iannot remember...Thanks for stopping by!

Was this as much fun as it was for you This is the best piece I have ever read on FanStory. The humor throughout was debilitating. Are you, or were you a stand-up comic for employment? Line after line jolts me further into a throe of giggles. You will win my vote even before my own. WELL DONE!

    You are very kind! I was never a stand-up comic for money, but I joined FanStory because my wife complained that she had heard all my stuff too many times! I am now so old that I cannot find my keys or cell phone, but I can remember old one-liners like "...is he still wrong" like it was yesterday. Most of my writing has humor and I am really pleased when I make somebody smile. Thanks!

    I am serious. Your entry should win hands down. It is the best satirical writing I have seen, if not this year forever.

    Tom, Many thanks for the prompt and for your kind support. I told my wife I actually won from FanStory friend's support. She said, "tell them to get a life!" Great fun! Reese

L o l you have some humorous points here for sure! I like the acronym for phd that's pretty cool I made me chuckle. I'm so appreciate this kind of writing. We need some levity sometimes.
And it will be a challenge and a little bit of fun. Quite like this entry I wish you best of luck!

    A gentleman has no higher calling than to bring laughter to a lady's lips! Thanks for your nice review. Most of what I write has an attempt at humor, but this prompt just opened the door wide. What a great way to salve a Monday! Best regards,

That is just too cute. I love "If a man says something and there's no woman there to here it, is he still wrong?" Pretty funny stuff. Really clever, your reasoning. Good luck in the contest. Oh, and the accompanying picture is perfect!

    Thanks for your great "visiting" review. I am in Texas, too, where visiting is an official activity. We just moved into a "55+" community near Houston. I am 75 and now I have a bunch of 55 year old kids skateboarding around me. It was my wife's idea. I married a yankee (I had been drinking). BTW, that is NOT me in the picture. A similar picture of me is on a golf course... By your writing name, I assume you are married to an Englishman. I'm sure his reaction to Teas is entertaining...

    Just realized I mispelled "hear." shoulda edited.
    Now, pardon my doltness but why the assumption an Englishman hubby?
    Actually I am a widow, and he "were a Texan, too."
    You are funny! Well, if your wife is a yankee, that explains the skateboards - in lieu of ice skates.

    My apologies if I in anyway offended. My assumption is based on my many business trips to Australia. The term "pome" stands for "prisoner of mother England. Often, Aussies follow the spoken word pome with another word "bas@#&*". Very affectionate, of course. Sorry for your loss. My yankee and I are at 46 years. Had I just robbed a bank, I could have been out after 10. I asked my wife once "if I died, would you remarry and let him use my golf clubs?" She said, "No way. He's left-handed." Finally, when I read your warm review, I immediately checked my entry. Spelling is not my strength.

    you are both funny! what a team.
    Heavens no, you didn't offend me, I just didn't know what you were talking about. ;)

    BTW: If you google pom or pome you get a report like this: "Australians have been using the word ?pom? as a nickname for English immigrants since the late 19th century123. The word is believed to derive from the familiar word ?pomegranate?, which is thought to refer to the ?rosy cheeks? of British immigrants who arrived in Australia from the UK3. The term is often used with a derogatory appendage such as ?whingeing?, ?bloody? or ?bastard?2. Another explanation is that it?s a reference to Australia?s past as a convict colony, with ?pom? being a bastardised acronym meaning ?prisoner of Mother England? or ?prisoner of Her Majesty?4."

    well, you can certainly tell that I didn't know that. When I first (misguidedly) picked my name, I was just being silly. It's supposed to be poem lover.
    Now people are always correcting me, thinking I don't know how to spell poem.
