Fit For The Job

While everyone I know can push a button not everyone I know would be fit to push the button that launches a missal that may rain down destruction on others.

Image being in your 20's sitting in a hole 3 stories down in the ground waiting for the President to tell you to push the button. Not a job for everyone.

The cartoon above was written for and inspired by and article in The Northern Sentry News Paper, the official news paper of The Minot Air Force Base.

Having a Real Estate license is a great responsibility and is not one that just anyone can handle well. Mistakes made in Real Estate can be destructive to both individuals and families.

During the Real Estate boom many people obtained licenses that never should have had them because the lure was "this is easy money". Thankfully most of those washed out quickly and no harm was done.

Unlike college, a degree/license, can be obtained very quickly. Unfortunately, unlike many college freshmen and sophomore's who realize they are headed to the wrong career field change their majors, potential Real Estate licensees just plow ahead because licensing only takes a few months so why not?

My message to home buyers: If you are considering working with a newly licensed Real Estate agent proceed with caution (even if it's a relative). Their actions/decisions could blow-up in your face.

Do you enjoy the cartoons written by my son (Timmothy N. Timm) which I use as a springboard to write my daily posts? His strip, Titus & Philemon, has run in two newspapers for years as well as being printed in my blog every day. Titus & Philemon (pronounced Phi - Lee -Man) are guinea pigs. Their owner is Joe. Timmothy has never repeated a joke/comic strip in the 12 years he has been writing it. He has never copied another strip, such as Peanuts or Garfield. You can follow Timmothy on FB as Titus & Philemon and you can also check him out on Instagram as Instagram.com/titus and philemon/ .For Timmothy's website type timmtimmothy.com into your browser. I tried to put it in a link here but it refuses to work. Do NOT put anything in front of timmtimmothy.com or it will not work.

Oh gosh, what a stretch between having a real estate license and the ability to start a nuclear war.

I know more people who I wouldn't want to be in charge of pushing a button than I do who I would be comfortable with being in charge of such a thing, haha.

I could do it Brian England . Fortunately I am not in command or I would have given Iran the nuke they have been longing for... however not in the way they want to have a nuke.

Good morning Bob. I would want someone mentally stable to be in front f the button. In real estate sales management for years, only a few of the agents I sponsored would qualify. Nuff said. Enjoy your day.

I do not want to be around if that happens. I think I would rather be instantly vaporized.
