Funniest thing I've read today
Yes, I realize the day is still young (at least here at bookofjoe World Headquarters, where the time is 10:01 a.m.) but I'm still laughing a half-hour after I espied the following final sentence of an editorial (leader, in Brit parlance) in today's Financial Times about Kirk Kerkorian's announcement this week that he has amassed a 5% stake in Ford: "Mr. Kerkorian should buckle up for a long ride."
Yo, FT: Kerkorian will be 91 years old on June 6 of this year.
Ford only stopped making Model T's (above) in 1927, when he was a 10-year-old boy.
There's something to be said for theories of imprinting.
But I digress.
If I were Kerkorian I wouldn't even be buying green bananas, much less planning on riding Ford's stock "... for several years," as the FT advised.

Hi, stumbled over your blog while looking for faucet extensions. Saw your 2005 post about being the only bloging anesthesiologist. You may be right about that, but I do know a lot of blogs can make you sleepy, even without anesthesia. Do I detect a Detroit area location? Based on your current post about Ford Motor Co, and the Eastern Time Zone time stamp?
Nice blog, you can visit any of my blogs anytime, I hope they do not put you to sleep. However, if you want to make sure you do not get sleepy, check out my son's blog-- He is the opposite of an anesthesiologist, he is a hyperactive systems engineer.

Nice blog.
