Q as in QUEUE FOR EVERYTHING (A-Z Challenge)

For you to understand this, I'm going to have to explain the new phonetic alphabet. This, from a physicist friend, who was in the habit of putting things up in space, via NASA or whoever else is sending something up.

The old phonetic alphabet had a for alpha, b for bravo, c for charlie, all the way down to z for zulu. 

The new phonetic alphabet has: a for orses, b for mutton, on down to d for ential, f for vescent, i for get, j for oranges, thence m for size, n for mation, p for whistle and q for everything. (Did I mention my mate, Ted, is Welsh? You need to keep that in mind when you're going through this alphabet.)

Now we come to an Armenian gent named Albert. He was the father of a girl in our high school. He was also the goldsmith who made our weddings rings and engagement ring for J. 

Albert was also a philosopher. He talked about many things, including the reality that our lives being ruled by the clock and the line. 

Think about all the things for which you have to be "On Time." On second thought, forget that; I didn't mean to terrify you. 

Think about the lines you follow. Lines on the road, the lines on signs, direction where you should go. Or the lines at the coffee shop, the take out pizza place, or the grocery store where you buy your food. You line up, or queue, for just about everything. And you wait in line for you passport to be prepared, or your car to be fixed at the garage (not until next week).

So, the combined intelligence of two fine men reminds us there are lines in our lives, and we have to Q for (almost) almost everything we do.

If you're like me, you get tired of queueing. But the trend in here to stay, so the best we can do is get accustomed to it.  ("Grrrrrr," said the Bear, as he stood in line for his jar of hunny, along with Winnie the Pooh.)

Q is also for quiet, quilting, quarter, quiche, and the Queen (God bless her!).

Blessings and Bear hugs, friends.
