Consistency is not one of my better virtues, but this marks my 101st entry to my Rebel Yid Blog. Entering the universe of the bloggers has been very educational, especially for a man in his advanced youth (some prefer to call it middle age- screw them!)

There are over 24,000,000 bloggers and about 70,000 new ones daily according to Thomas Friedman in “The World is Flat”. I have less than 300 readers but occasionally I trip and cover something either unique, or witty or just something that pisses someone off and more people read it as it gets passed around. Maybe one day it will hit a tipping point and I will become an unpaid internet blogging star. Probably not.

But writing clarifies things for me and that is why I do it. My lovely wife Debbie is less than impressed, but this way she does not have to listen to me think out loud and fear that we may one day wake up in a cardboard box on the street laughing at philosophical jokes no one understands.

One cow says to another cow,” So what do you think about this mad cow disease?”
The other cow says, “What do I care, I’m a helicopter.”
Or
A customer in restaurant asks, “How do you prepare your chickens?”
Cook, “Oh, nothing really special. We just tell them they are gonna die.”

ready for 100 more?
