Random Thoughts in an email I just received.

Random Thoughts (not the DUer)


1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.


2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.


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 heck are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?


6. Was learning cursive really necessary?


7. Map Quest really 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.


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


12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection...again.


13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to.


14. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.


15. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.


16. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lite than Kay.


17. I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.


18. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.


19. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear or understand a word they said?


20. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers and sisters!


21. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.


22. Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.


23. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey -but I'd bet everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time.


24. The first testicular guard, the "Cup," was used in Hockey in 1874 and the first helmet was used in 1974. That means it only took 100 years for men to realize that their brain is also important.

1. Thanks for this.

I'm cutting/pasting and sending it to friends, with your permission. Such LOL truisms deserve to be out in the world.

It's too bad (and I knew it would happen, though I did it anyway) - bookmarked to save with family and a special friend who will take care of #1

1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.

Agree 100%. Especially the 'Rat Porn.'


2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.

Yes, yes indeed


3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.

Me too


4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.

I just think we need a way to put the tone of voice in print


5. How the heck are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

Awkwardly


6. Was learning cursive really necessary?

So we could develop a shorthand of our own that no one can read. Early form of document security.


7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on # 5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

They should have an "From the 101" or "From the 5" kind of option. No, I am not from LA.


8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.

Do you really want to read the obit about the man who died trying to stick as many cigarettes into his butt and smoke them down?


9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.

It was the last time someone stepped on your feet in sandals.


10. Bad decisions make good stories.

Yes the do, especially the ones involving sex, drugs and rock and roll


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

It's called getting to your desk in the morning


12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection...again.

But then there's 3D! And 4D! And all of the other D's, P's and QZX's!!!!!


13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to.

Yes but Word always keeps irrelevant copies of everything you make.

14. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.

Yes


15. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.


16. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lite than Kay.

That's cocaine, not Miller Lite. Miller MGD maybe, but not Miller Lite.


17. I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.

Define Ghetto....


18. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.

When video games no longer work, that's hunger


19. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear or understand a word they said?

WHAT AIN'T NO COUNTRY I'VE EVER HEARD OF! DO THEY SPEAK ENGLISH IN WHAT?


20. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers and sisters!

yeah yeah yeah....I like cutting at the front. I suck, I know it.


21. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.

My nose hasn't gone out so, you're wrong.


22. Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.

Me too. Especially after a ripper bong hit


Fuggit, I'm lazy. Cheers!

6. Folding a fitted sheet:

Can't say where I learned this (probably on that heinous public TV channel, PBS) but I never learned it from either my mother or my past-wife ;)
