There Are Worse Things Than...

…a president you can’t stand: …A president-for-life with unlimited powers, who is the very definition of corruption.

…being asked for a dollar by a panhandler: …Not having one to give him.

…shoveling the old widow’s driveway for free: …Being her deceased husband.

…having to drive slowly on the Interstate during a storm: …Being the driver of the quicker SUV who passed you and is now wheels-up off the road.

…finding there’s “nothing on” tv: …Not having books or good magazines to read.

…running into a constant complainer: …Being one.

…acting your age: …Taking yourself, and life, too seriously.

…occasionally spreading wild oats: …Letting them get moldy in the cellar.

…telling someone about a real strange dream you had: …Having that person decide to analyze you to death over something basically meaningless.

…the family Christmas letter: …Getting it from your spouse.
