‘Dead Men Tell No Tales’ and Other Super Bowl LI Observations

The teaser for Disney’s “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” was first seen during last night’s Super Bowl. We can only hope the movie is as good as it looks. BTW. Congrats to Tom Brady and the New England Patriots for their win, and to the Atlanta Falcons for a great game, and to Lady Gaga for keeping her mouth shut except to sing, and to President Donald Trump for predicting the win.  8 points, Mr. President. Huuuge!!  And to 84Lumber, let me add my prediction.  You won’t be getting any of the contracts for building “The Wall” on our Mexican Border any time soon.

This Way To The Egress

Perhaps there’s a little PT (Welcome to the Egress) Barnum in Donald J. Trump.

Barnum’s American Museum was so popular that people would spend the entire day there. This cut into profits, as the museum would be too full to Trump_The_Wallsqueeze another person in. In classic Barnum style, old P.T. put up signs that said “This Way to the Egress.” Many customers followed the signs, not realizing that Egress was a fancy word for “Exit.” They kept on looking for this strange new attraction, the “Egress”. Many patrons followed the signs right out the door! Once they had exited the building, the door would lock behind them, and if they wanted to get back in, they had to pay another admission charge!
