Decisions, decisions

When one is faced with life's most difficult dilemmas, one must choose wisely and carefully.  Slowly and thoughtfully.  With great care and deliberation.  And when all else fails, when you are faced with a difficult either or decision you can always revert to alternative methods.  Like flipping a coin.  Or eenie-meenie, miney-mo. Or    
rock, paper, scissors.  Which  my son used to call rock, paper, scissors, shoe.  When I first asked him about the shoe he was sure and steadfast in his reply; "That's what it's called- Rock, Paper, Scissors, SHOE!" he insisted.  When he demonstrated as he said this I realized what he had heard and said as SHOE, was really SHOOT, and that was how he was taught to play. (instead of saying GO! we always said SHOOT!)  Not sure if he ever tried to "throw" a shoe or not....
  I was reminded of this when I came across a sign with the following quote which I thought was pretty funny, it was not attributed to anyone but I sure wish I had come up with it.

  Here goes:

"I understand that scissors can beat paper, and I get how rock can beat scissors, but there is no way that paper can beat rock.  Paper is supposed to magically wrap around a rock and make it immobile?  Why can't paper do this to scissors?  Screw scissors.  Why can't paper do this to people?  Why aren't sheets of college ruled notebook paper constantly suffocating students as they attempt to take notes in class?  I'll tell you why, because paper can't beat anybody, a rock would tear it up in two seconds.  When I play rock, paper, scissors,  I always choose rock.  Then when somebody claims to have beaten me with their paper, I can punch them in the face with my already clenched fist and say, 'Oh, Sorry, I thought paper would protect you.'"

Not sure but maybe this could work in the political arena, or global affairs perhaps.  Actually maybe that's the problem....hmmmm....


Peace to the Planet...
