I'd assumed you know the ventriloquist Jeff Dunham, he has a puppet named "Melvin" (I accidently mispelled the name) and he plays a hero.

Ok, I get it. But there is a Marvin the Superhero as well and I thought that's who you meant and I didn't get it.

Now I got your confusion, all good.

Totally understand. Even a few threads can barely scratch the surface. So much wisdom and thoughts to share.

Quotes From Jack Handey

I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.

Children need encouragement. If a kid gets an answer right, tell him it was a lucky guess. That way he develops a good, lucky feeling.

To me, it's always a good idea to always carry two sacks of something when you walk around. That way, if anybody says, "Hey, can you give me a hand?," you can say, "Sorry, got these sacks."

When I was a kid my favorite relative was Uncle Caveman. After school we'd all go play in his cave, and every once in a while he would eat one of us. It wasn't until later that I found out that Uncle Caveman was a bear.

To me, clowns aren't funny. In fact, they're kind of scary. I've wondered where this started and I think it goes back to the time I went to the circus, and a clown killed my dad.

One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. "Oh, no," I said, "Disneyland burned down." He cried and cried, but I think that deep down he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late.

If God dwells inside us, like some people say, I sure hope He like enchiladas, because that's what He's getting! If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is "Probably because of something you did."

"Sometimes I just feel like curling up on the floor in front of the fireplace, and just rolling around the room, like a tumbleweed, and not even caring if I knock things over, or break them. And if people get mad, maybe because it's their house or something, you can just shake your head and go, "What happened?"

Love Jack Handy!

I had one of his books when I was younger. I remember several of these from that book. One that has always stuck with me:

It's been 4 months in the new 2022. The start/stop engine button is now on the center console. I attempt to press the non existent button on the dash EVERY SINGLE DAY.....

LOL I knew I couldn't be the only one!
What makes matters worse, is my wife's '21 X3M40i start/stop button is still in the old place, so my right hand flails all over the place between the two cars!

I've not had the E93 in almost 3 years now. I still get in the IS and the left foot instantly goes for the clutch. Creatures of habit we are.....but still, after 3 years? I need a head shaking emoji.

I simply can't remember how to get the wipers to move to center so I can flip them off the glass, so I only clean to the the wipers.

Besides, after cleaning the window, putting the wipers back to their recessed spot requires dragging the blades across the clean glass, so screws up all that work.

We have a family of squirrels that live in our neighborhood. They've been here for years. I watch them out the window in the morning when I have coffee. Have not done any damage… yet.

Yesterday I watched one in the yard with a jar of peanut butter. The squirrel had gnawed off the lid and was trying to get it's head in there to eat what remained.

Was worried he would get his head stuck so I went out there and it ran away and I got the jar and threw it away.

They bring various things in my yard: oranges 🍊 peanuts 🥜 avocados 🥑 etc. Every so often they drop an avocado on the roof and it makes a loud boom and then rolls off.

I've had my roof and property sealed up pretty well so nothing is going to get in (I hope). No squirrels in the attic, yet. lol

You know what really fucks me up? When I go in for service and get a loaner. The shifter on my car is like a manual. Reverse is to the left and up, neutral in the middle and drive to the right. So of course, I throw the shifter in the loaner to the left and up to try to back out of the spot on dealers lot. Always comical.
