Sedline for Oct. 18
“To the person who keeps complaining about the bicycle riders in Sedalia: I’m sorry that I, as a bicycle rider, might have gotten in your way one day as you were going to the doctor to talk about lap-band surgery. Did I make you drop your Twinkie?”
“I noticed Sedalia has a beautiful new train station — not new, but redone — not allowed to be used for trains. Instead, you have to go into a little bitty booth where three people can sit, and you have to hope it’s not a bad day, rainy day, snowy day, cold day, because if it is, you have to stand out in the weather because people waiting to use the train are not allowed to use the train station. ... It’s a train station, not a business office first.”
“When it came to selecting Smith-Cotton’s homecoming queen candidates, it looked as though the kids who voted copied off their parents’ election ballots for choosing school board members. All the candidates were daughters of board members, with the exception of the assistant superintendent’s daughter.”
(Concerning Cokie Roberts’ column on health care): “If women are treated so bad in this country, how come they all outlive the men? ... It’s because women actually have time to get health care and men have to work all the time and don’t have time to get health care.”
“It’s ridiculous how this town handles repeat DWI offenders. Some have four or five DWIs and they are still able to laugh it off. These offenders will kill someone some day. Maybe then, no one will be laughing about it.”
“Somebody was asking me what I did all day other than reading the editorials ...”
“I didn’t buy a brick for the Honor Flight for World War II veterans to see a long-haired guy, who was not a World War II veteran, go every trip.”
“As I was gassing up my truck at $2.29 per gallon, when it was $2.19 per gallon yesterday, I was wondering what the outcry from the public would be if we farmers last spring had said, ‘Oh, it’s the beginning barbecue season — every steer should be $50 to $75 more, or a pig maybe $50 (more) or every chicken $1 or $2 (more).’”
“You probably know by now I have analytical mind. When I was in fourth grade, I wanted to be a detective.”
