Observance­s over a beer, cigar recently

-

Things to think about while you are drinking a beer and smoking a cigar:

If man descended from apes, why do we still have apes?

When Cain slew Abel and fled from the Garden of Eden and later came back with a wife, where did the wife come from?

If the Bible is correct, I salute you all with a hearty Yom Kippur since we are all, each and every one, a descendant from Noah, who was Jewish.

If Jesus was a poor man, why were the Roman soldiers gambling for his cloak as he was dying on the cross? How could a poor man afford his entourage of disciples and hangerson who accompanie­d him on his travels?

How did Friday to Sunday become three days?

What is the turning point when a grave robber becomes an archeologi­st?

Why do the car dealers think they have to scream when trying to sell a car on the ads?

Don’t they know that we just hit the mute button and pay them no attention?

What is it with these advertisem­ents that say “free — just pay an additional fee?” Is that really free?

When was the last time you were in a casino and the ladies and gents were all dressed up in gowns and formal wear?

I see where the ladies are pressuring the drug stores and makeup sellers to be more honest in their depictions of what makeup can accomplish. This — why they are buying lipstick, eyebrow enhancer, eyebrow liner, rouge, pancake makeup, etc.

If people from up north come to Yuma for the winter season are called snowbirds, what do you call the people from Yuma and points south who go north for the hot summer months?

That’s enough for now. My beer is finished, and my cigar is out. S.E. PAYNE Yuma
