Sometimes people can be as gullible as children. When Art Linkletter hosted his show "Kids Say the Darndest Things!" back in the 1960s the stuff those children came up with back then and the things they said were not only hilarious but endearing and touching. On the other hand, grownups today come up with stranger things than that and they're deadly serious.
I read a dumb grownup story today that really takes the cake. Click on the eyeball for that news story. You got it, the Palestinian government plans to exhume the body of Yasser Arafat to examine the remains for signs that he may have been murdered by a spy. I'll be honest with you, Yasser Arafat really gave me the creeps and, now that he's finally six feet under, please leave him there. And, you bet, there ought to be a show on TV today called, "Grownups Do the Damndest Things!"
What do they expect to find? Maybe he was poisoned by a spy but I think they're more likely to find a wooden stake through his heart or a silver bullet in his head. Let's just hope they don't find Ringo Starr down there. I'd hate to think that I'd finally get to see Abbey Road before I died just to find Yasser Arafat standing on the corner waiting for the "WALK" sign to come on. In this upside down world of dumb adult ideas and crazy notions, stranger things have happened.
