Words of Inspiration and Solace

9 May

May 9, 2013

I’ve been having a rough time lately. Sometimes it seems like everything I do is wrong, like everyone is against me. It is at times like these that I think back and rely on a bit of wisdom handed down through my family. I draw solace from its words, inspiration from its meaning.

You can’t ride a wet horse to Germany.

That old adage comes from MAD Magazine and never have truer words been spoken by Alfred E. Neuman.

I feel better just for having shared.

And now, Dave Berg’s The Lighter Side.

The Saturday Comics: Flush Man

Flush Man!

Is he a super-plumber? A man with the proportionate strength and speed of a toilet? Some sort of alien-toilet hybrid? No my friends, no, he is none of those things. He is …

The Flash!

It seems that down in South America The Flash is known as Flush Man. Really! He is!

I don’t know how that translates, and I don’t care. I could google it but why ruin the funny? FLUSH MAN!

The only problem is, they have it wrong. THIS is FLUSH MAN:

Dan Dan the City Wide Man

Dan Dan the City Wide Man

I’m… FLUSH MAN!

Really, I can’t enough. So in that spirit, I present to you the Dan Dan the City Wide Man commercial that aired all over the place on Long Island a few years ago. Seriously (I mean this, seriously) the jingle was so catchy I’d catch myself singing it all the time.

He’s smart!
He’s neat!
He’s fast!
He’s economical!

The only problem is, if you go to the website today, there are a bunch of other City Wide Dudes, but no Dan. I think the JLA kicked him out.
