George,

 >   It would seem so...never mind the goodies in the picnic basket. 

 GP> Oh, get your mind out of the gutter (errm, the 'picnic basket')

  That's what Yogi Bear always wanted...not sure if he ever got that, as
Boo-Boo was always admonishing him, as was "Mister Ranger".

 GP> He opens it, sees the gold, & exclaimed, "PAVEMENT! Why would you bring
 GP> pavement?!"

  Really...I doubt there are potholes in Heaven.

 >   I like the joke around tax time, where the guy goes deer hunting...
 > because he can always send the IRS a couple of bucks. 

 GP> Oh, don't do that; my boss told me of a neighbour who gave the property
 GP> inspctor some venison as a goodwill gift once, from then on in, he HAD
 GP> to give him more & more venison, else get an expensive audit.

  Oh, boy. I never cared for venizen or hunting. My brother used to, before
he got so bummed up after a freak motorcycle wreck 3 months after my wife
died (it nearly killed him). He lives out in the county, and one time, there
was a deer in his yard...so, here comes "the big brave naked deer hunter" .

 >   With my first of two COVID-19 shots today, I postponed the rest of my

 GP> Wise.  One thing at a time for your body to deal with, eh? :)

  No real reaction to the first Pfiezer shot...although the long drives the
day before, combined with a big lunch before I took the shot, made me sleepy.
So, it was nap time when I got home.

 GP> Glad it worked out to your satisfaction.

  I would've liked more, but the setup kept me from being overdrawn.

 >   Remember...boss spelled backwards is double S.O.B. 

 GP> I never forget.  Although I'm blessed now with a good boss (the big
 GP> boss(owner) anyway)

  A former Sysop (cancer killed him over a year ago), was working at the
answering service that his late wife started. One guy was complaining,
and said he wanted to talk to his supervisor. He was told to hang on, 
while he went to get him. While the complainer is on hold, this guy goes
outside to smoke a cigarette. He comes back inside, and answers the
phone. The complainer says "You're the Supervisor??", and when told "Yes",
he growled "I want to talk to the owner". Again, he's told to hold on for
a minute...and the guy goes out for another smoke. Then, comes back and
answers the phone. Talk about chief cook and bottlewasher. 

 GP> God provides; nice! Congrats!

  I was really wondering. I just hope I don't have to pay any income tax.

 GP> It's about that frivolous; they CHOSE to leave their house late that
 GP> day.

  Yep. When I was taking Uber, I allowed 30 minutes prior to the appointment,
so if there were delays, I had a bit of a cushion.

 GP> I picture myself as a boss:
 GP> Me: "You're late again."
 GP> Employee: "the bus broke down, then the skytrain(commuter light rail)
 GP> had delays."
 GP> Me: "I don't pay the transit company to get you here on time.  I pay
 GP> YOU to be here on time. . or do I?"

  True.

 GP> Oh it's logical: They're claiming wghatever leads to greates safety.
 GP> You can be hit with "driving dangerously" for not matching flow of
 GP> traffic.

  That makes as much sense as tits on a boar hog.

 GP> I knew a guy who came from US, where he was part of the federal group
 GP> that made the 55MPH federal(interstates) speed limit. He consulted with
 GP> our government to show them how many millions of % they could make with
 GP> every 5MPH the speed lmit was artificially lowered.  It always was a
 GP> cash grab.

  It always is.

 GP> To push for cops being allowed to "phone it in"?  Hopefully the first
 GP> few people dinged can aford a lawyer good enough to make a good
 GP> Constitutional challenge.

  One ham radio operator, using the mode of APRS with his GPS, proved in
court that he wasn't speeding. The judge dismissed the charge.

 GP> He explained how it's  his job to enforce these laws and asked how he
 GP> was supposed to "let it go" if her speeding led to others speeding,
 GP> leading to a dead kid on the road? She clammed up & aploogized.

  Most people only see one side of the argument.

 GP> Yup, I don't answer Nature's Call; I jump to attention at Nature's
 GP> Holler!

  I thought a sneeze was known as a booger holler. 

 >  >   Hallitosis is better than no breath at all. :P

 >  GP> True.

 >   Like the commercial for a new box of baking soda in the icebox to
 > eliminate odors. "Onion Power...Ahhhhh". 

 GP> ??

  The box of baking soda had been in the icebox a long time, and it was
no longer masking the food odors from getting to other foods (i.e. fish,
onions, etc.).

 GP> Not usually.  I've decided that "Everyone dies some time" but I'm not
 GP> going to bother.

  Everyone wants to go to Heaven, but no one wants to die.

 GP> "I'm no afraid of dying.  I just don't want to be there when it
 GP> happens" --M. Twain

  Just like the late Joe Diffie's song "Prop Me Up Beside The Jukebox If
I Die" -- you can pay your respects one quarter at a time.
