I’m not just a silly ‘walks into a bar’ joke type of guy and today I’ll prove it.  Words and phrases have intrigued me for years and with the introduction of these “What Not Thoughts”, you’ll be introduced to some of that intrigue, unless you run and hide now before I launch into my latest craziness.
