Rev. Joe’s Random Thought #9,786

yeah I know you did not ask!

In 2005 the Country and Western artist Toby Keith had a big hit with the song, As Good as I Once Was.  In case you were off the planet then, here a link to a video of the song: As Good as I Once Was

The story line of the song is that a  gentleman is in a bar and twin girls try to pick him up for a threesome.  He then utters the catch line of his song, “I ain’t as good as I once was, but I’m as good once As I ever was“.

I am aware it is just a song and probably not autobiographical, but… At the time the song came out, Toby Keith would have been around 44.  I saw recently that Toby will be turning 60 this year, by some reckonings, a senior citizen. I imagine that he is still singing the song in concerts, given his senior citizen status, perhaps he should revise his famous line to this: “I ain’t as good as I once was, but I’m as good once As I ever was… SOMETIMES“.

OMG – Who told you…

I’m sitting in one of my teammate’s cube at work, a young lady with a satirical sense of humor.  I am trying to show her something on the Internet on her tablet.  The site is not coming up nicely.

She says to me with laughter in her voice, “Having a hard time getting it up?”

I reply, “Not yet.”  Later I wished I had been quicker of wit and said, “Oh my God, who told you,” and buried my face in my hands.

Looking down her nose and across the top of her glasses she mockingly replies to this workplace appropriate exchange with, “You need to take that home.”

I was telling  Robin about it later and she commented, “Well she started it, but her final remark was perfect and priceless.”

All of which reminds me of the Toby Keith song:

I ain’t as good as I once was
But I’m as good once as I ever was

To which Robin replied, “Amen.”
