–What’s the deal with all the superheroes these days? Superman. He can do it all. He’s Super! He’s all you will ever need.

–Why does Rocky sound like he is suffering from brain damage in Rocky V, but like an intelligent, introspective, successful restauranteur and businessman in Rocky VI?

–One thing you can always count on when you run a Half Marathon: by the time you are five minutes in, you will have encountered at least one participant walking, staring at his watch, checking his time. Just strolling along, impeding runners. What’s the point?

–Why does it suddenly take up to six minutes (timed it) to tell TV news viewers the weather? And why is it sometimes at the top of the news, then repeated several times throughout the broadcast? Just tell me what the temperature is going to be and whether or not it’s going to rain. And don’t tell me to bring an umbrella! I know what to do!

–The first 50 years of my life were very enjoyable, because I did not have to hear phrases like:

‘In a heartbeat’

‘It is what it is’

‘I’ll ‘do’ an Old Fashioned’

‘I’m not gonna lie’

‘I appreciate you’

‘At the end of the day’

‘For what it’s worth”

–And since when is it not sufficient to just say ‘thank you’? Why does sentiment require enhancement, even for the simplest gesture? I held the door open for a lady and she said, “Oh, thank you! Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!” Please.

–Does everything have so be so ‘amazing’ all the time? “The food was amazing!” ”The view was amazing!” ”The movie was amazing!” Learn how to flap your arms and fly; that will be amazing.

–Why do people have to play music and videos so loud on the subway? Isn’t that why ear pods were invented?

–Some things just never stop bothering me. Like the fact that Clifford Glover should be a 60-year-old grandfather today. Look him up.

–My wife and I went out to eat last week. Turns out, a lady sitting at the next table owns a boat. Pays $200 per month for the dock. She hasn’t spoken to her brother, Robbie, for nine months. Plus, her mother had a stroke. And the lady claims she gets paid $65 per hour. I know all this because she never learned how to lower her freaking voice!

–Why do cashiers at Whole Foods call for the “Next guest!”? If I am a guest, why do I have to pay? Guests at my house eat for free.

Well, that’s it! Thank you for reading! Thank you so much! I appreciate you!
