My mother-in-law is visiting, and she is a lovely person. Her boyfriend of a few months, who we just met, is also very nice and helpful. Except he randomly comes out with some wacky statements.
I never get the flu because I had a flu shot in 1962.
All flu these days is manufactured in labs and released to the public to make profits for the health care companies and doctors.
If you don’t eat apples with pork, the pork’s toxins will make you sick. (Wonder why we didn’t get sick after eating ham at Christmas?)
Those little Ethiopians are good workers.
Most cancers can be cured with a citrus diet; you just have to know which kind.
These are separate, of course, from the misstatements. Like his story about the woman whose boyfriend just returned from Iraq after his tank was hit by an IUD.
Whew. Glad to get that out. Now I can go back to being polite.
If he hasn’t always been like this, I would wonder if he might be developing dementia and that might have impaired his “filter”. However, it could be just be harmless eccentricity.
My sister-in-law’s husband is kind of the same, except his thing is wild and crazy conspiracy theories. She seems to know all his theories and I think she just rolls her eyes at them. I assume that he isn’t nuts in any significant way; he seems to be a good husband and father in all the ways that count.
Hey, I have often said that the best way to make enemy infantry disperse and run for the hills would be to drop a large payload of tampons on them. They don’t even have to be used ones; men just have a superstitous fear of these things.
