Bugs

The onslaught of bugs in the summer in the Midwest got me to thinking of other things that bug me.

An exclamation point or laughing emoji used by someone on social media to let other people know what they said was funny.

I like my humor dry and unassuming, thank you. If you think you’re that witty, let the words stand for themselves. My guess is, however, you laugh at your own unfunny jokes in the real world, too, which actually cracks me up, to be honest.  

Bobble heads.

Useless and trite dust collectors designed to be funny, what with their wobbly heads and semi-accurate facial features and all.

I hated carrying the free ones around at the ballpark. Why would a family of four need four Kent Hrbek’s at home?

Crinkle fries.

Nobody likes them. French fries are one of God’s blessings he bestowed to Americans, in particular, and I truly believe restaurants who offer crinkle fries as their only potato side don’t care about their customers.
