There is my truth.  There is your truth.  There is the real truth.  Neither of us can claim that third. Maybe if we talk, we’ll both get closer.

46. Mowing the lawn

This came to mind when I posted the accordion photo (post #20).  Also killing so-called weeds - a practice contributing to the spreading dead zones along the coasts.

47.  The urge for MORE in the midst of plenty.  This encompasses such states of mind as unquenchable desire, creating fantasies of heaven and paradise and the denigration of nature or reality.

Plagiarist!  Check #24.

55.  Picking up after their pet.
56.  Explaining to the cops, then later to your wife, why you’re naked, drunk, and disoriented.
57.  Sitting through commercials for erectile disfunction, tampons, and hemorrhoids with your kid and having to explain to him what they mean.
58.  In-laws.  (the difference between an in-law and an outlaw is the outlaw is wanted.)

I was going to make #59 - PLAGIARISM - but then saw Joe Dator’s cartoon in a recent New Yorker:

I was thinking how my cat, for one, would object to being anesthetized while lumps of plastic were inserted under his skin.  I suppose one of these days a bulldog will win first prize at the Dog Show, and then there will be a scandal when the judges find out that his jowls have implants.  Are implants allowed in the Miss America Contest?  What if it turns out that the $5 million-dollar winner of the X-FACTOR contest has vocal-cord implants?
