Do you ever wake up, first thing in the morning, and decide… “Dang it.  Today, I’m gonna’ wear my sock monkey hat.”

Yep….. me too.

I think that is what we have in common…. me and you. I mean, if you put it in the simplest of terms, we truly are very alike.  Scientists say that we are 99% the same… genetically.

While that may scare you terribly right now…. remember this.

There is that ONE…. little, eensy, beeensy…. 1%.

That one percent.

Close, but yet so far.  So very much alike…. and very different at the same time.

And that 0.01 has a great deal to do with pi.  Or pie.

It is highly necessary that we are so much alike.  If we strayed too terribly far from that 99%… it would make certain aspects of sharing a planet terribly difficult.

On the other hand, the one percent separates us… just enough… to make life interesting.

Some things I like to do… and you may do them on a regular basis too:

I think it is fun to fill empty Windex bottles with Blue Gatorade…. squirt it in my mouth in public places. It really freaks some people out.

Sometimes, I like to go to Wendy’s and ask for directions to Burger King.

Every once in a while… when I buy bird seed at a feed store.  I ask the cashier how long she thinks it will  take for the stuff to grow… how much water to give,  shade or sun.   What kinds of birds they will be… Those sorts of things.  Most of the time, I am greeted with a blank stare.

Oh.  it happens that from time to time, that my fun is different from your fun.  On other occasions, our fun is alike.    And both are good.

So it would seem then, that we are commonly…. uncommon.  Thanks to one percent.  That little piece of the pie.

I’m glad to be sharing this part of the fun, with you.
