A friend sent me these thoughts to ponder (with my comments in bold italic):
1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer's history if you die.
2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong. (Maybe my favorite of the whole bunch)
3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.
4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.
5. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet? (A pet peeve of mine too)
6. Was learning cursive really necessary?
7. Map Quest needs to start their directions on #5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.
9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.
10. Bad decisions make good stories. (True fact)
11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day. (Never happened to me ;) - Riiiiight!)
12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection...again. (Whats Blue Ray?)
13.. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to the ten-page paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.
14. "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this -- ever. (Guilty)
15. I hate it when I miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Damn it!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What'd you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?
16. I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.
17. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call. (I don't do this)
18. My 4-year old son asked me in the car the other day "Dad what would happen if you ran over a ninja?" How the hell do I respond to that?
19. I think the freezer deserves a light as well..
20. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with a Budweiser than Kay.

Number 2-especially seeing it on someone else's face. The clerk in the City of Flint tax office kept telling me I had not claimed profit sharing one year and said I owed $600 plus in tax and penalty. She obviously didnt know her own tax forms. It was listabel on the backside of the form, where I put it. Bwa ha ha. She was actually screaming at me to listen to her-and I stopped her with MY HAND OUT as a shut up, flipped over the paper and stabbed finger in the spot. Stupid stupid people get hired to treat others like crap.I got no sorry or oops or anything, just my paper handed back to me. I then had to wait for another person to remove my name from the list. Prolly was too much for her to hit delete inquiry from the computer.
Jan, as a good friend of mine always tells me:
"You can't fix stupid."
Hi, Jim.
I enjoyed the list of "thoughts" on your blog this morning. Number 20 concerning Kay Jewelers brought back long dormant memories of a time when Janet and I purchased a "Zorro" watch for you for Christmas one year. First of all we had one dickens of a time locating one, when we did it was in a Kay Jewelers at Hillsdale Mall in San Mateo. The watch cost $6.50, the sales cleark asked me, "How do you want to pay for it?" I mean, does anyone buy a $6.50 watch on time? We paid cash, of course. While completing the deal, the sales clerk escorted Janet to a display case filled with diamond rings. He pulled one out, placed it on one of Janet's fingers and remarked, "You can buy it with only $ so much each week." (I forgot the actual amount.) Janet responded, "If you have to buy jewelry on time, you don't need it!" The clerk quickly removed the ring from her finger, placed it back in the display case and disappeared. Obviously, to the clerk, we were dangerous!
With love,
Dad
This was very funny Fletch.
Jim, these are priceless. Just great! May I use them in my "Mark's Musings" post come Friday?
Well, Mark, I took them from an e-mail sent to me by my sister, so they aren't really mine to give, but sure I think they are definitely in the public domain now.
They are good, aren't they?
I sent the line about needing a font for sarcasm to a friend in the UK. He's a font designer.... :)
