SHINDLER SEZ: JACK, THE SHRINKING MAN & DICK

“You can’t solve a problem by throwing money at it!”
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if our politicians and bureaucrats understood this?

Jack
A lot of people don’t know Jack. Do you know Jack? If you don’t, I’ll give you a clue. His last name starts with a “S”.

The Incredible Shrinking Man
“Dan,” I asked, “how tall are you?”
“I used to be 5 ft. 11, but since my wife beat me down, I’m only five foot nine and a half.”

Dicks
I have a friend, Richard, who everyone calls Dick. “Doesn’t that bother you,” I asked.
“No. Why?”
“You know the name Dick has a certain connotation.”
“There are a lot of people out there with names like Jim, John, Bob, Harry, Josh, or whatever, who are called Dick and they’re not even Richards.
