Quivers of Thought

If my oven cleans itself, why isn’t
my house self-cleaning?
Flocks of dove come to my backyard
feeder daily. Where is my bar soap?
Exercise is a luxury. Therefore, giving
up exercise for lent would be an appropriate sacrifice.
If my car does not tally mileage
while in reverse, does that mean I can drive backwards and never age?
It’s possible to identify someone’s
age by their check number. If the check number is 102, they are a teenager with
their first checking account. A check donning the number 15,493 is an elderly
person who has written checks since the beginning of banking time.
I want to know what happened to the use
of the cents sign; the letter C with a vertical line down the center. It used
to be readily available on keyboards and has disappeared as mysteriously as the continent of Atlantis. There’s no cents sense, in using the dollar
sign to signify fifty cents. $0.50 reads as half a dollar. Half a dollar is a $0.50
fifty cent piece. Hardly anyone passes around JFK anymore. The fifty cent piece
is dead just like you know who. Two quarters is fifty cents. Resurrect the cent
sign please, keyboard manufactures.
