Three Things


I watched this movie years ago called City Slickers. It was a comedy where three men plagued with mid-life crisis's join a modern-day roundup to help them find answers. Jack Palance plays Curly; the old weathered cowhand in charge of the roundup.

Jack dies during the trip. But before he does, he gives the character Billy Crystal plays (Mitch) hell, for everything. He also tries to help out the floundering man by telling him that life is all about one thing . . . just one thing. Unfortunately, he never tells Mitch what it is. So through the entire movie Mitch it trying to figure out the one reason for life.

The ONLY reason I bring this up is that tonight I saw a commercial for Olive Garden. It reminded me of the movie.

"What three things bring families together?"


Sure, in the commercial the response is, "Bread, Soup, and Salad."

What is funny is that when asked, "What three things bring families together," my immediate thought was:

"Funerals, birthdays, and holidays."
