Ode to a Grecian burn

Greece is the word.

No. I am not talking the musical “Grease,” heavens no. I am talking the country over that-a-way.

The debt-ridden southern European country, a spark away from a burn with rioting and assorted strife as we speak, was at least partially responsible for some of the nearly 1,000-point nose dive in the stock market today. Or, as CBS News has just reported, someone may have pushed the wrong button.

Ooops!

Now companies such as Proctor and Gamble, and Citigroup are asking: “Was it one of our idiots who wrecked the market for awhile this afternoon?” Apparently, the market ended up 300-some-odd points down, depending on who you want to believe.

Trouble in Greece could really be trouble with a capital “T,” which of course, rhymes with P and that stands for pool. That is if you are in need of loving you a little “Music Man.”

Me, I was walking across my office this morning and tripped on nothing, landing on my hands and knees. I’m not sure why. It may have something to do with diabetes, with my diabetic shoes, what the f**k.  Yes, that’s a statement and not a question. But I am about to start loading my new Nautica wallet. I said “Nautica” like it meant something. I’m sure it does to someone. I just needed a wallet as my old one was about to disintegrate.

What a wonderful world it would be … if everyone had a great wallet, whatever you fancy.
