The older I get the more things I see that I need to “shoo” from my life. At times, it’s difficult, but the end result is what really matters. One last pie would be the “Shoo-Sin Pie.”

call" is. I guess it has a different meaning to different people. Even 
my wife agrees with me on this. And you know, that's a monumental 
achievement. 

I don't know why they call them telemarketers, but I sure would like to
tell them a thing or two. 

Another pie I would like to develop would be the Shoo-Grumpy Pie. I have
found so many grumpy people lately. I'm not sure where they come from 
and I'm not quite sure where they're going, but I do have my guesses. 

I cannot identify with grumpy people because I'm not quite sure why
they're grumpy. The thing I have noticed lately is, grumpy is not a 
matter of age. There are grumpy people of all ages. I'm not quite sure 
how this began. 

If anybody has the right to be grumpy, it's someone like me who has to
listen to those people who are grumpy. 

How much happier this world would be if there were no grumpy people in
it? I know there are grumpy moments, but that shouldn't be forever. 
Nothing is more frustrating than standing in line at the cash register 
behind some old grumpy customer exhibiting grumpy-itis. I wonder if 
it's contagious? 

Thinking about this, my list is getting longer and longer. There are so
many things that I would like to Shoo from my life that I probably need 
to go into the "Shoo Pie Baking Business." 

Thinking along this line I remembered a verse in the Bible. "Wherefore
come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch 
not the unclean thing; and I will receive you" (2 Corinthians 6:17). 

The older I get the more things I see that I need to “shoo” from my
life. At times, it's difficult, but the end result is what really 
matters. One last pie would be the “Shoo-Sin Pie.”
