Imagine coming across these mangoes at the supermarket! I’m not sure how good they are, but I’m pretty sure they made some folks smile.

Have a great weekend!!

COOL OFFER?

I chanced upon this offer at the supermarket.

To be honest, I’m not sure if it’s a savvy sales tactic, an unwitting instance of irony or a jocular effort by a PR person with a sense of humour.

Can A Hole Be Eaten?

September 25, 2020September 25, 2020 ~ 1kindness2day ~ 1 Comment

So we know a hole is a space that once had matter present, e.g., a hole dug in order to plant something.

Or it’s a purposeful space, e.g., nostrils.

If we accept that holes are intangible objects that we cannot actually hold in our hands, how do we explain this?

Just sayin’. 😹

Retirement

Although I know I will run the risk of being considered facetious or rude or irreverent, I have to confess this:

For the longest time, as a child, I thought Gramps was planning to get his car some new tyres every time he talked about retiring.

Really.

Of Couplets And Conscious Uncoupling

January 29, 2020January 30, 2020 ~ 1kindness2day

I have absolutely not one intelligent thing to write about ‘rhyme’ that more literate and well-versed folk haven’t already written about.

Except to say the word ‘rhyme’ made me think of ‘reason’. Which led me to the realisation that couplets end with a rhyme, which is reason enough for their existence and popularity.

Gwynneth Paltrow, I’m sure, had her reasons for those precise words in her famous divorce announcement. But doesn’t it make you think of a couplet that got un-rhymed?

See? I said I really had nothing intelligent to say.

But then again, hanging up a couplet (written in gold or black on red paper) of good wishes is a traditional decorative element for the Lunar New Year. Which is also celebrated with the exchange of oranges as symbols of gold and wealth.

Which brings me to this: does anyone know what rhymes with orange?

There really was no rhyme (or reason) for this post.
