Path of Least Resistance

Just found out that the new train route has train cars that were built in Japan in 1989. I’m routinely on a train car that was built around the time the Berlin Wall was torn down. Really feels weird riding on something that’s older than most of the people riding it.

With the completion of the latest train line, I now have about a dozen ways to get to work. While each of these routes have their pros and cons, one route stands apart from the rest. I call it the Polar Route, or the POLR Route. POLR stands for Path Of Least Resistance. It’s the route that has the least amount of creeps, shady people, and sexual deviants.

This guy behind me just coughed on my ear. It feels like it has the flu now.

Slogan of the week: Louisville Vegan Jerky’s “Keep it fake!”

It’s not ghostwriting if we all know your name.

I’m optimistic that I’ll be pessimistic.

Forgot that they mail drivers licenses to you now. So ironic how back in the day, when licenses were laminated, you would get them that same day. Nowadays, when the cards are all digitized and high-tech, you get it by snail mail.

Children are assholes. They are selfish, greedy, vindictive, and opportunistic. They are beautifully accurate microcosms of the adult human psyche and behavioral tendencies. At its core, humanity is not very humane. With that said, seeing babies with fat cheeks makes me forget everything I just wrote.

Asians get a bad rep for bootlegging American products, yet America has been making remakes and adaptations of Asian movies and stories for years. Asia should crack down on American copycats the same way America clamps down on iPhone bootleggers.

Someone launched an explosion of diarrhea against the side of the wall of the local post office. Definitely a special, overnight delivery. It also had me thinking of the slogan of UPS, “What can brown do for you?”

Where did the term “piggyback” come from? Never have I seen a pig on anything’s back nor have I seen anything on a pig’s back.

And where did the term “greenback” come from?  Dollars are green on the front and back.  I’m pretty sure that most people look at the front of a dollar bill than the back of it.  We should be call ’em “greenfront.”  Or “greenallovers.”

Before-and-after photos are a standard in the weight loss industry.  A third photo should be added: What-You-Like-Right-Now photos.  After you’ve lost the weight, you should be required to submit a photo 3 to 6 months later.  More than likely, it’ll look like your “before” pic went on an eating binge.  Truth.
