Cheating

It seems like cheating when you sleep with the windows open in January.  It seems like cheating when you get up and wander to the restroom in your Walmart slummer shoes.  It is easy to forget people are in North Dakota where cars suffer to start, and the temperature stays below zero for days. As the Kadizzles become old goats it is easier to see how old goats think.  Old goats just want to be warm.  If an old goat's house was on fire the goat would stay in it rather than go out in the cold.  Sunshine becomes a more valuable commodity as you grow old.  Some of our old goat friends will follow the temperature North or South just to be comfortable.  This all reminds Kadizzle of a story a simple minded fellow once told at the power plant.

At lunch one day Rick told the story about how he ended up in a military court.  Rich was stationed in Germany.  It was a terrible freezing cold night and the Army decided it would be a great night to test troop readiness.  So at 3 in the morning the leaders banged on the doors in the dormitory and told the soldiers to get up they were going on a maneuver.  Rick refused to get up, and refused to go.

At his court marshall when he was put on the stand Rick said to the prosecutor, "Look out the window, what do you see?, do you see any birds?".   The prosecutor said no.   Rick said to the prosecutor, " Those birds have brains the size of golf balls, and they have enough sense not to be out there,  aren't we any smarter".  Needless to say Rick spent some time in the brig and was dishonorably discharged.  Now this brings us to the point.  Birds migrate.  With a tiny brain they figured out how to avoid the cold.  So the next time you call someone a bird brain, it might be a compliment.
