Glory Fink’s Guide to Life Lesson #3

Lesson #3 True Friends love you for who you are, not for what you can become or what you can do for them.

 

Friends, real friends love the very essence of you. They have seen you make an utter fool of your self and still look forward to seeing you again soon. People who are truly your friends do not want to change anything about you that would conceal the real you. That is not to say that they wouldn’t be relieved if you would quit wearing sweatshirts when you go out for a nice evening on the town. But in the end if they had to choose between someone else and you with your ratty old sweatshirt you win hands down.

Rule #2 Honor they mother and they father but a manure truck is still full of shit no matter who’s driving it.

Time and time again I meet men and women who think that everything their parents told them is the gospel truth. People, just because your mother told you to wear clean underwear before you go out doesn’t mean you must wear underwear all the time! One of Life’s best cheap thrills is going commando when it’s least expected. There is something so exhilarating about sitting in a meeting with your boss with the secret knowledge that there is less separating you from your seat than everyone assumes. This harmless little secret can keep you awake throughout even the most boring seminar on “The Safety Do’s and Don’t of Sticker Application”.

If bare bumming fails to keep the zing in your zagging day write a post it note, “In this building someone is not wearing any underwear. Guess who.” and leave the note stuck to the bathroom mirror. Knowing that dozens of people are sitting in their cubicles contemplating each other’s nakedness and thereby secret rebellion against Society’s Norms, also known as “The Man”, will keep you and your co-workers buzzing all day.

If you’ve done this several times, to avoid handwriting analysis, I suggest you get a friend to write the note for you that is destined for the busiest bathroom in your office and then transport it to work.

Rule #1 Do not use hygiene products you have purchased from a hardware store.

Ditto for the obvious tip, do not put anything on your face that came from a can.

Take my word for it you will regret it if you do.

Here’s a quick exfoliant:

A spoonful of plain quick oats

A big pinch of salt or sugar (your choice)

A few drops of olive oil ( or any other oil you have in the kitchen…….No, not the 10w30 motor oil!!!)

A few drops of hot water to make a paste

Now scrub this on your face everywhere while avoiding your eyes, ears, nostrils…you get the point. Use a damp paper towel to wipe the scrub off your face so it won’t clog your drains. Rinse and if you feel the need, wash your face with a gentle cleanser. Lava bar soap is not considered a gentle cleanser, FYI.

Gentiles don’t DO this!

I am price comparing bereavment flights. What the hell!?!?! Gentiles don’t so this!!!

They just pay the first one they call and it’s done. Not me, nooooooo I have to call several different airlines for the best deal to get my grieving mother-in-law to her mother’s funeral in time. They will never be able to revoke my “Member of The Tribe” card. This one effort to find the best deal alone should forever cement my Jewish-ness.

Golly! my mother may have wanted her children to learn how to assimilate but apparently finding the best deal on death trumps all those years of trying to learn how to act like a Southern WASP.

*Sigh* At least there will be plenty of cornbread dressing and bourbon baked ham at the funeral.

Are you there Period? It’s me, Glory. BTW, you owe me a new set of Egyptian Cotton bed sheets (ya bitch).

Stephen Lynch - Beelz

Posted on July 24th, 2008 in 42, Humor, music by askglory

Poor Stephen, he came down here to USM about a century ago when he was just starting out. He pulled in 30 students…admission was $1. No kidding. (Subsidized by the USM Student Council or something along those line) But, he did get all 30 people to sing “Kill A Kitten” with him. Apparently he was surprised that he didn’t get a single boo or heckle all night. After the show, on a Wednesday night at 8pm (chuch time around here) the entire group (too small to be called a crowd) when to IHOP. Good times!
