Here’s today’s deep thought.

Over the years, I’ve seen variations of, “Thought for the Day” programs. Generally, the thoughts are meant to be profound, or at least useful. Personally, I try to post to my blog every day. I’ve found the hardest part of doing this is having an idea that will sustain 400+ words.

Forget being profound or even useful, I just look for something that will hold a reader’s attention for three minutes or so. Basically, it’s win some, lose some. Stuart Smalley was operating under a lot of pressure.

If you read my stuff, you probably know I generally write humor. If you haven’t noticed that, I’m not doing it well. I also write a little bit about writing itself, as well as some sports. Any advice that comes out of my work is collateral damage.

With that in mind, I’ll work on a profound thought and we’ll see where it goes. Here’s number one. Or possibly number two.

It’s a wise man that checks for toilet paper before doing his business.

Show a little forethought. Can I man that can’t cover his backside in a bathroom situation be trusted for bigger aspects of life?

Can a man plan for your financial future if he forgets to check for toilet paper? Would you trust a lawyer who is inside a stall…
