A few months back in NOLA, we’re in the living room. Dad’s in his recliner. The 24 hour news is recapping the latest urgent Covid news. Deaths are up 100%. Everyone should wear a mask. In Florida and Texas, no one should wear a mask. People should take Ivermectin. Only horses should take it. And hey, we know Iverectin. We wormed our horses with it, gave it to our dogs for heartworm, and we’d never take it. But crazy folks, who fear vaccines, swallow it right up. Wow!
Dad (shaking his head): Geeze, those fools, like lemmings are following their leaders right over the cliff. Maybe it’s nature’s way of culling the herd of the less intelligent.
Randy: Well, I don’t know about nature’s way, but it sure is bizarre.
Dad (depressed): This Covid news is all so glum. Why don’t you switch the channel over to something less depressing?
Randy (holding the remote): Ok dad. Any ideas?
Dad (cynically): How about the WW II channel on Netflix?
