One of the morning drivetime radio shows (back when I commuted 45 minutes rain/shine/gloom of early morning) had a call-in game called "The Right Answer is Always 'C'".

Well, our version today is: "Got a problem? Use a Lego!"

What more could you want, I ask you?

• Big Firm Rocked by Tax Divider Scam which raises the question, "Did he think no one would notice that a million dollars worth of tab dividers were ordered that never arrived?" Next time, buddy, mix it up and make that half a mil in fancy ballpoint pens.


• Sex Fees Not Deductible Medical Expenses, Tax Court Rules Although the individual did keep meticulous track of his, ahem, expenses, he neglected to present receipts. I'm sure there were other reasons, too.


• Practice Tip: Good Behavior Advisable During Disciplinary Hearing Not a good idea to call opposing counsel a "worm", interrupt the judge, laugh loudly during opposing witness testimony, or ask whether that witness' father was a Klan member. Don't make me tell you twice.


• Monkey Mask Fails to Defeat Traffic Camera It's true the camera might not get a good picture of your face, but chances are it will catch your license plate and the decal on your windshield.

My son is so amusing.

My daughter and her husband are looking for a townhouse -- their first home purchase. She updated her Facebook status thus: "Now we have two favorites. What to do . . . "

Her brother responded thus:

First comment

"what to do.". Obviously YOU have never bought a house before. The answer is like so totally obvious, at least to anyone with a strong base of Southern California real estate experience like me. [Ed. note:Hah. He lived in a rented apartment in the high desert for 4 years.]

Buy both of them.

Then live in one, rent the other out for $300 less than the payment, buy a convertible to travel between the two of them, live the high life for six months, and file bankruptcy.

I can't believe I had to spell it out for you. Duh.

Second comment, posted immediately thereafter:

In seriousness, we are praying God will grant you wisdom on your choice.

I love my kids.
