More dumb things. Please


What a surprise to see the top paying jobs in America. Who knew that a brain surgeon typically hauls in more annual loot than a garbage collector? And what a stunner that lawyers charging $300-400 an hour make more than the folks that deliver pizzas or super-size you? Please.

That most interesting guy in the world is back again. Not sure what he drinks, but whatever it is seems to still have the magical ability to attract brain dead stick girls the world over. His motto should be -- stay wasted, my friends, and the moronic bimbos will keep on coming. Please.

A few more guys in Major League Baseball have recently been given 80 game suspensions when the steroid Stanozolol was found in their system. It's hard to say who's dumber. The players themselves, when it's long been known that steroid is easily detectable through the most basic urine test, or new Commissioner Rob Manfred who is shocked -- SHOCKED -- that over the counter pharmaceuticals in the home countries of many Latino players might turn up in their systems at some point. Please.

Of course those players say they have no idea how such a thing could happen. They would never knowingly put such a banned substance into their body. Either they're liars, or just.... that... dumb. At any rate, in modern times this excuse ranks right up there with the dog ate my homework alibi of old. Nobody believed such nonsense then or now. Pretty please.

It's not enough that Jordan Spieth won the 2015 Masters, while setting a few scoring records along the way. Oh no, we must always have the Tiger comparisons. Tiger once did this. Tiger once did that. Well, guess what? Tiger finished a whopping 13 strokes behind and isn't even in the Top 100 golfers in the world anymore. So why does the fascination about a once great player that is obviously on the back side of his bell curve continue? Gimme a break. He had his ten years of dominance and it's over. Stick a fork in him. Please.

Why do veterinarians push year-round monthly heartworm pills for pets in Michigan, when it's a mosquito borne disease? Show me a mosquito in Michigan from Dec.1 to April 1 -- and I'll eat it. There aren't any. So why should people pay for four pills -- and they're not cheap -- that their pets don't need? The cha-chings for the shots are bad enough.

Idle thought: Given many such shots cost about $25, and they typically contain about 1 CC of medicine, and further given there are roughly 3700 CCs in a gallon -- simple math will tell you a single gallon of rabies and/or distemper vaccine winds up fetching a colossal $92,500. So theoretically a jug of this stuff is worth 3 brand new cars? Something is very wrong with this picture. Puh-leeze. Did I mention vets are among the top paying jobs as well? Imagine that.

The NFL draft is approaching and the usual annual hype is already everywhere and will reach the also usual fever pitch before it's over. Some college players will go on to be pro stars and others will be busts. We've seen plenty of both over the years, regardless of where in the draft they are taken.

But there's another really dumb thing going on right now with a few teams and college prospects.

More on that next time out......
