I've become increasingly less tolerant of people saying things that don't make sense, or that are not based in truth or fact.

It seems to me that sometimes some people simply don't think about what they're saying, and say things that are sorely lacking in logic.

It's one of the few instances which lends me to being sarcastic. Or at least THINKING sarcastically.

Here's an example; it's an AP article I just picked up off of Yahoo news.

 

ANAHEIM, Calif. – They shared a stage at Disneyland five days a week for nearly three decades and died within a day of each other.

Betty Taylor, who played Slue Foot Sue in Disney's long-running Golden Horseshoe Revue, passed away Saturday — one day after the death of Wally Boag, who played her character's sweetheart, Pecos Bill.

The 91-year-old Taylor died at her home in Washington state, Disneyland announced on its web site. Boag, who was 90, died Friday. He was a resident of Santa Monica, Calif.

The causes of death were not announced and attempts to contact relatives for comment were not immediately successful.

"Betty's role as leading lady in Disneyland's Golden Horseshoe Revue helped turn it into the longest-running stage show in entertainment history," George Kalogridis, the president of Disneyland Resort, said in a statement. `'It is a tragic coincidence that her passing comes just one day after the death of longtime co-star Wally Boag."

 

"It is a tragic coincidence...." 

What??

Why is it tragic? She was 91, he 90. Does he think their deaths were untimely?? How does he even know it was a coincidence? Maybe they had a strong connection after working together every day for decades & it was no coincidence at all. And even if it is a coincidence, why is it "tragic"? Maybe it's poetic, sweet, logical. Who knows? I don't think that Disneyland Resort President knows. I think he was talking out his.... well. That just gets my goat, that's all.

 

Do you have examples of this? Of something else that pops your tolerance bubble? Makes you wanna smack someone?

BTW, check Baker's Dozen for another ode to you, posted just after P.A.'s.

I wish I could blame it on being drunk...sadly, I was completely sober when stupidity struck.
