    Boy, am I glad I don’t live in Florida. I’d feel like a doofus trying to push open a door from the outside (like in that one Far Side panel).

    Around here inward-opening doors are illegal, because they are a fire hazard.

    Two of my former schoolmates were from Bermuda, and neither of them told me this.

    In a hurricane, doors will cave in pretty easily, but they’re less likely to “cave out”. (Until all the windows are broken, anyway.)

    I live in New York, and I have never seen an entry door open inward. I always speculated that it was a fire thing, if you had to evacuate the building quickly it was easier to push a door open than to pull it.

    I learned about the precursor to monopoly on the History Channel recently

    I visited Bermuda several years ago and our taxi driver was explaining about the stepped tile roofs and cisterns present in almost every house. He told us: Tourists curse the rain but as residents, we bless the rain!_

    I have wondered what the people on Bermuda do for water when the rains pass them by.

    Huh, that’s funny about the doors. I never knew that! I suppose it makes sense. So interesting!

    Little Johnny is at Toys R Us looking for a new toy to buy. He finally finds a toy car he really likes and decides to buy it. He goes up to the cashier to pay for the toy car and offers Monopoly money.

    The cashier says to Little Johnny, “are you dumb? This is not real money.”

    Little Johnny responds, “You’re dumb. Neither is the car…”

    The ironic thing about the game Monopoly is that only one company can make it.

    My wife was in jail, so I decided to go for the conjugal visit, which caused her parents to start freaking out.

    Best game of Monopoly ever!

    Until next time.

    When I was a kid, the story was Monopoly was invented by Charles Darrow, after he visited Atlantic City. It turned out he lied.

    Why oh Why do business with double exit doors always have one locked? Most likely the locked door will be the right one.

    I am so angry and frustrated by the above comments ridiculing Floridians and Trump. This is not the forum for hate and discontent. Save that for your social medium platforms such as Twitter and Facebook, Instagram and Neighborhood! All I can do, besides, tear my hair out, and I have a lot despite my age, is to boycott RBION for a while. I know this makes absolutely no difference to anyone and it will accomplish nothing, but I do it for myself and my peace of mind. I will not read, contribute nor like/dislike any postings for a long while. For myself.

    A wise man once said, (I think it was me) “The nice thing about self-pity is, the one you’re feeling sorry for is always worth the trouble!”
