SCHINDLER SEZ

I don’t care what they say or write about me, as long as they spell my name right. And it doesn’t start with Shi, even though that might suit some people to a “t”.

 

I’m Here

Sometimes when I’m at a restaurant, the server will deliver the food, set it down, and say, “There you go.”

I then reply, “Where do I go? I thought I was here!”

 

No Principals

One day, shortly after my sister-in-law, Mary Keefer, was appointed principal of Bishop Luers High School, I called her to congratulate her on her new position.

“Mary,” I said, “Congratulations! I didn’t know you had any, and now you are one!”

 

You go Uncle Milty!

There is an old saying that goes, “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink.”

Or as Uncle Milty (Milton Berle) so wisely put it, “You can lead a man to Congress, but you can’t make him think.”
