The Sage at the Disco


A wise old Sage was dancing at a disco
In a way that was quite comical and slow
His moves were not too fancy
But he was still the life of the party



He may have been a little out of his age
But he shook his body and let out The Sage
He moved in circles and shuffled his feet
Making everyone leave their seat




He may not have been the best dancer there
But the crowd cheered him being very fair
For he had the wisdom to put on a show
And the courage that could only grow


He may not have had the best of styles
But he sure knew how to bring a smile
His moves were a bit outdated
But the crowd was still delighted



He had the courage to go out of his way
To show the world what he had to say
His moves were a from a time gone past
But the crowd still had a blast



He was the oldest one there by far
But he had a way of shining like a star
His moves were a bit clunky
But he still was kinda funky



He may not have been a pro dancer
But he still knew how to make the crowd answer
He may have been a little out of his time
But he became the life of the party in his prime

Advice of the Day: Dogs

Never trust a dog to watch your food

You should never trust a dog to watch your food because dogs are instinctually driven to eat food when they see it. Dogs have a keen sense of smell and are naturally attracted to food, especially if it smells good to them. Even a well-trained dog can be tempted to take a bite out of your food when you are not looking, particularly if it is left unattended or within reach.

Therefore, it’s best not to leave your food in the presence of a dog or any other pet, as it could potentially lead to them consuming something harmful or toxic. It’s important to always supervise your pets and keep your food out of their reach to prevent any unwanted mishaps.

Here are a few funny anecdotes about dogs eating strange things:

One dog owner came home to find that their dog had eaten an entire bag of marshmallows, including the bag itself. The dog was fine, but the owner was left with a big mess to clean up.

Another dog owner reported that their dog had eaten an entire tube of toothpaste. The dog was fine, but the owner had to call the veterinarian to make sure that the toothpaste wasn’t toxic.

A friend of mine once told me that her dog had eaten an entire loaf of bread, and then proceeded to “burp up” slices of bread for the rest of the day.

There’s a famous story about a Great Dane named Zeus who ate 43-and-a-half socks! The dog had to have surgery to remove the socks from his stomach, but he made a full recovery.

I once heard of a dog who ate an entire bag of fertilizer. The dog was fine, but the owner reported that the dog’s farts were particularly smelly for the next few days!

While these stories are certainly amusing, it’s important to remember that dogs eating strange things can be dangerous and even life-threatening in some cases. It’s always best to keep harmful substances out of their reach and to contact a veterinarian if you suspect that your dog has ingested something toxic.

Thought of the Day: Mirrors


Mirrors don’t break, they multiply.

It is possible to make a mirror at home using everyday objects. One of the simplest ways to do this is to use aluminum foil, which can be molded to a smooth surface and then treated with a reflective coating to make a functional mirror. Another option is to use a piece of glass or plastic, such as a picture frame or a CD, and apply a reflective coating, such as spray-on mirror finish or a solution of silver nitrate. However, these homemade mirrors may not be as high quality or durable as commercial mirrors, and the reflective coating may scratch or deteriorate over time.

The largest mirror ever made is the Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) mirror, which has a diameter of 10.4 meters (34 feet). It is located at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory on the island of La Palma, Spain, and is used for astronomical observations. The GTC mirror is made up of 36 hexagonal segments and is one of the largest single-aperture optical/near-infrared telescopes in the world, capable of capturing highly detailed images of celestial objects. When it breaks that’s a lot of multiplication!

The Sage Cooks Breakfast


A wise old Sage in the woods one day
He cooked up some eggs on his campfire tray
The wise old Sage, he looked content
As he cooked his eggs on the fire’s vent



The sizzle of the eggs filled the air
As he cooked with a bit of care
He flipped the eggs with a ladle so true
The sizzle of the eggs, it filled the view



The Sage, he cooked up his meal with glee
The eggs, they cooked to perfection, you see
He served up the eggs on a tin plate
Enjoyed with friends, it was no debate



The wise old Sage, no ordinary man
To cook up eggs, it was his master plan
The wise old Sage, did not fool or jest
Cooking up eggs on the campfire’s best

Quote of the Day: Myself


“If I am not for myself, who is for me? And if I am only for myself, what am I? And if not now, when?”

Rabbi Hillel

Rabbi Hillel (c. 110 BCE – 10 CE) was a prominent Jewish sage and religious leader who lived in Jerusalem during the Second Temple period. He is considered one of the greatest rabbis in Jewish history and his teachings continue to influence Jewish thought and practice to this day.

Hillel is known for his emphasis on ethical and moral teachings, particularly his focus on the importance of compassion, humility, and social justice. He is also known for his debates and discussions with the rival rabbi Shammai, with whom he disagreed on many issues, but always maintained a respectful and constructive dialogue.

Hillel is credited with several well-known sayings and teachings, including the Golden Rule: “What is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow man. This is the entire Law; all the rest is commentary.”

Hillel’s teachings continue to be studied and celebrated in Jewish communities around the world, and his legacy as a compassionate and wise leader has had a lasting impact on Jewish thought and practice.

The above quote is often interpreted as an exhortation of personal responsibility and action. The first part of the quote, “If I am not for myself, who is for me?” suggests that an individual must take responsibility for their own well-being and cannot rely solely on the support of others. It emphasizes the importance of self-care and self-preservation.

The second part, “And if I am only for myself, what am I?” suggests that while self-care is important, it is not enough to live a fulfilling life. The quote implies that one should strive for a balance between caring for oneself and caring for others.

The final part, “And if not now, when?” emphasizes the importance of taking action in the present moment. It suggests that if one waits too long to take action, opportunities may be lost or the chance for personal growth and development may be missed.

Overall, the quote encourages individuals to take responsibility for themselves, find a balance between self-care and care for others, and take action in the present moment to achieve their goals and fulfill their potential.

My wife has insisted that I cease making puns about classic Motown hits or she will leave me.

I agreed to stop, in the name of love.

Advice of the Day: Sniffing

I don’t care how nice the hand soap smells, you should never walk out of the restroom sniffing your fingers.

It is generally not considered polite or appropriate to sniff your fingers in public, regardless of the context. Sniffing your fingers can be perceived as unhygienic, rude, or inappropriate, and may make other people uncomfortable or annoyed.

However, there may be some situations where sniffing your fingers is necessary or acceptable, such as if you have spilled a strong-smelling substance on your hands, or if you are testing a perfume or fragrance in a store. In these cases, it is important to do so discreetly and without drawing attention to yourself, and to use good hygiene practices like washing your hands afterwards if necessary.

Overall, it is advisable to avoid sniffing your fingers in public whenever possible and to use good judgement and common sense when deciding whether or not to do so in specific situations.

Thought of the Day: Stairs


You can’t stand backwards on stairs!

The way you are standing on the stairs can indicate the direction of travel. When standing facing forward on the stairs, you are generally going up, while standing backward usually indicates that you are going down. However, this is not always the case, and it depends on the context and the specific staircase you are using.

For example, in some cultures or places, standing backward on stairs may be considered impolite or inappropriate, regardless of the direction of travel. Additionally, in some buildings or structures, the direction of the stairs may not follow the conventional pattern or may be unclear due to poor signage or lighting. Therefore, it is important to always pay attention to your surroundings and any instructions or signs provided and to adjust your behavior accordingly.
