Ladies and Gentlemen, the results for the 2025 Clitorides are posted, and Sweetie and I want to offer our congregations not only to the winners, but to everyone who was nominated. LOTS of really great stories to catch up with and enjoy. Thank you, everyone, because without you, this website couldn't exist.

I absolutely MUST say that I love my Sweetie. Sure, between the difference between us, concerning age, culture and a few other things, we don't always see eye to eye (she is 14 inches shorter than me), but I can't imagine life without her.

The other night, while I was making up words for a game of SCRABBLE, she gave me a playful smile and said; "You can be an idiot at times."

I'm delighted to have her permission.

Sweetie and I were relaxing this morning, enjoying a cup of coffee (or, tea for her).

She looked up from the news feed on her phone and said "According to this article, people your age will forget four things that they are doing, on a daily basis."

"SLACKERS!" I replied. "I can forget that much before breakfast!"

(And I know I'm not alone with that.)

Hello everyone! Well, here we are in Middle of March 2026 and boy, things are, for lack of a better term "A Shit Show." I'm happy to report that my health has improved greatly. I think that retirement has helped. Anyway, I'm still telling silly jokes and stories to everyone willing to listen (or can't escape when I get started) and Sweetie has stated; "For the love of God and sanity, start another 'report' if you MUST share this stuff!" So, here we go again with "The Privy Report 2" for you to (hopefully) enjoy. Feedback is welcomed.

For decades, we found ourselves amused and entertained by the wit and humor of Scott Adams, the creator of the comic Dilbert. I know that I'm not alone, thinking about the many times I read (and laughed at) one of his observations on corporate office life. Navigating the obstacles found, trying to complete the job and not have it derailed by clueless management or someone else who "has a better idea" that has about as much chance as a bowling ball sprouting wings and flying.

As many of you know, Scott passed away due to cancer. He will be missed. At one of the offices I worked at, we had a "Dilbert Wall" where we could post a printed clipping that was especially amusing and subtly poked fun not only at corporate culture, but some of the things that the actual company said and did.

"Logic be damned! We've always done it this way!"

Godspeed, Sir. We will miss you.
