Buffalo Bill Explains the Benefits of Going Without

Bill was from Buffalo.![]()
Maybe that’s why they called him Buffalo Bill.![]()
He played football.![]()
Gets cold in Buffalo, snows a lot.![]()
You need a warm coat.![]()
Bill only had half a coat. His tail was always cold.![]()
Every year, Bill and his team played the Kansas City Chiefs for the championship.![]()
They always lost.![]()
They just lost again this year.![]()
Bill’s down about it, which is understandable, but at least he’s going home with more arrowheads for his collection.![]()
Somebody said, “Bill, you should sell them arrowheads. You could buy another half a coat for your tail, so it wouldn’t get cold.”![]()
Bill thought about it. He was tempted, but decided against it.![]()
“A cold tail’s a good thing,” he said. “Makes ya tough, makes ya mean, keeps ya motivated.”![]()
“OK, we lost the game,” he continued. “So what? We’ll be back again next year. And we’re gonna keep coming back till we win.”![]()
“Someday we’ll be champions,” said Bill. “And that’s worth freezing your tail off for.”![]()

As a Browns fan (I know! I know! Don’t admit it.), I rooted for our neighbors in Buffalo. I also have friends in Buffalo, so it made sense.
Yes, maybe next year. … If the Browns don’t win it all!
Good to see you, my friend! Hope you’re staying warm. Eat lots of soup!

I just talked to Bills head coach Sean McDermott. I told him to have the team eat more soup. He looked kinda doubtful. Then I said, “It was Maddie’s idea.” He perked right up. “In that case, we’ll do it!!” he cried.
So when they win it all next year, the credit will go to you, dear Maddie!! Cheers, and thanks a heap for checking in!! 🙏😊

Prolific, conlific– I try to mix it up… 😅 Thanks, dear Maddie! Actually I’m taking a break from Medium at present. Their algorithm has gone south and taken all my traffic with it. I’m not alone, but that’s no consolation.
But I soldier on, working on some neglected projects and whistling a happy tune!– thanks so mucho for all your kind support!! 🙏😊
