NATURE: Silence of the Bees

[REASON]

Mobile phones are the cause of:

ultra-conservative Republicans,

the inability to speak without saying "you know", "like", "uh",

children bragging that they can't do math,

the use of Viagra as a date drug among the 20-somethings,

parents home-schooling their kids,

the popularity of gas-guzzling SUVs,

the trend toward smaller cowboy hat sizes in Texas,

the deaths of Killer Whales at large aquarium parks,

and the belief in Intelligent Design.

 

But it has NOTHING to do with the disappearance of honey bees.

 

:P

 

That's what I thought.

{sigh} It's too late Boerseun. :D

 

The "standard" John Wayne Ten Gallon Cowboy Hat (XXXL) no longer fits me at all. It's now the equivalent of what used to be a size 6 and 7/8 -- which is still six sizes larger than what is now called the "George W Bush Special".

They told me at the store that if I wanted a cowboy hat, it would have to be special ordered. I have a choice between only two styles: "horse trough" or "number two wash tub".
