Nothing

I was sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable, black leather poppa chair in the living room trying to think of what happened in my life this week that you might find interesting, and some of the voices in my head said, "Nothing happened this week." Then I remembered hearing an old Coca Cola jingle on the radio that said, "Nothing beats the taste of Coke," and all the voices in my head said, "Wow..."nothing" must be powerful stuff. They're telling me it even beats the taste of Coke." \n\tThink about it. Sometimes when I've done something really dumb, and my Lady Wonder Wench gets very quiet...for a long time...I ask her, "What's the matter" she says, "Nothing." And all the voices in my head get together in four part harmony and sing a line from the Star Spangled Banner. The one about "The rockets red glare, and the bombs bursting in air." That "Nothing" stuff is pretty powerful.
