And here’s another one of those funny bits using the English language that just happens to be my kind of thing … and I’m hoping that like me, it brings at least a little smile to the corners of your mouth:
I have been in many places, but I’ve never been in Cahoots. Apparently, you can’t go alone. You have to be with someone.
I’ve also never been in Cognito. I hear no one recognizes you there.
I have, however, been in Sane. They don’t have an airport; you have to be driven there. I have made several trips there, thanks to my friends, family and work.
I would like to go to Conclusions, but you have to jump, and I’m not too much on physical activity anymore.
I’ve been in Flexible, but only when it was very important to stand firm.
Sometimes I’m in Capable, and I go there more often as I’m getting older.
One of my favorite places to be is in Suspense! It really gets the adrenalin flowing and pumps up the old heart! At my age I need all the stimuli I can get!
I may have been in Continent, and I don’t remember what country it was in. It’s an age thing.
