Why do you have to be a nonconformist like everybody else? —James Thurber
Overheard on a local radio station: This commercial-free hour is brought to you by (company name). It is not really free of commercials, now, is it? It might just be me, but that statement seems ludicrous. Isn’t mentioning the hour’s sponsor a type of commercial? I love to see how people play with words and [...]
The most wasted of all days is one without laughter. This statement from e.e. cummings goes up as one of my favorite of all time. Laughter is a great medicine, as every copy of Reader’s Digest will tell you. You may have noticed that as you browse here on fautrever.com various sayings or jokes appear [...]

Everyone needs a social life, right? I signed up for a MySpace account earlier this year, but never updated it or customized it much. To be honest, I probably was just too busy. But, it also wasn’t inviting, compelling, or easy to use, so that contributed to my mostly ignoring it besides putting up two [...]
Since we were just in San Antonio, Texas as part of our “Travel Adventures”, I thought I would share this classic pun with you. “A tourist couple decides to eat in a café along the Riverwalk in downtown San Antonio as they finish up a day of people-watching and shopping. They order brisket and potatoes, [...]
