I love writing, computers, puns... and can sometimes be spiritual, or mindful.

A Disgusting Person

“What did the polygraph said?”
“Either he’s lying, or he had to fart a lot.”

Time Merchant

I decided to spend my retirement in ancient Rome, but I made the huge mistake of bringing a tube of mayonnaise.
