Hi Joe, Uh, no; a tool is a useful device. Jerry Baumchen

Sorry, this is speaker's corner, no such thing allowed you hoser.

What a week, I had a physical on Tuesday and now I get a quadruple bypass and a bovine graft on the Aortic valve on Thursday. I feel like the biggest pussy in the world. But I’m extremely grateful that my doctor heard the heart murmur that set the process in motion.

I haven't left.

In all fairness John, that is funny.

Begging the question - How happy were they when you left? I'm on a roll today.

So, this is what? Your tenth end of the world?

Planning before panic, I always say. That's why I bought a new Penn rod and reel and filled out my lure box before there's a run on those, too.

Unless of course in three weeks hospital ICUs are starting to become overwhelmed with sick people who need respirators to keep them breathing in hopes of recovery. The whole idea at this point is to slow the rate of infection so that it does not hit all at once. That is why the best case scenario is that it will be a slow moving crisis. And that is why it will not be over in a few weeks. We don't want it to be over that quickly because that we can't handle that many at once. That's what is happening in Italy.

Doesn't god send plagues to send a message to the Pharoah? Sending a plague that preferentially kills off old people who are far more likely to vote for Trump, while just being a minor inconvenience to the young, seems like a pretty clear message.

Right, but conspiracy theorists say them about the Clintons and the courts say it about Trump. Which side do you pull for?

Not even a little. Closing borders because there’s a fucking pandemic is a little different to closing borders because the people coming across it are brown and poor.

I'm tellin' you man, fuckin' China. . .

Please make sure you have copious amounts of toilet paper and milk and bread for Milk Sammiches!

I disagree on the gold part, but the food and supplies for sure. My biggest concern is my daughter, who has Celiac disease is a very picky eater. So, I'm just trying to get enough food on hand for her...just in case. Personally, I think this thing starts getting better as the weather warms and it's probably a good thing that this is happening now instead of October or November, but we'll see. As for me, I'm still planning on going on my cruise next week if it doesn't get cancelled. What I don't understand (and this isn't a shot a Blevins although I'm sure it will be seen as such), is why cancel things that are a couple of months out? If it hasn't subsided by then, cancel then. My daughters school is talking about canceling her prom and it's two months away. I don't get it. I wasn't thrilled about paying $600 for a dress that is only going to be worn once, now it may not get worn at all. And before you ask, it isn't my size.

Oh lovely, here we go again. Tell us all about your entrepreneurial efforts in New York.

Run one? Not directly. But I was in an 8 person startup on Long Island and I can say for sure that we didn't have to break any laws to run the company. (And when the company is that size, everyone has to do everything.) Of course I guess we could have made a bit more money if we engaged in organized crime, so I guess organized crime is OK then.

What’s wrong with just following the law?

Not if you are one of the fatalities, or a family member.

But, you made me shit myself when you said 20%
