  • This just in from my Starbucks cup: (The Way I See It #112)

    If you've got a dollar and you spend twenty-nine cents on a loaf of bread, you've got seventy-one cents left. But if you've got seventeen grand and you spend twenty-nine cents on a loaf of bread, you've still got seventeen grand. There's a math lesson for you.

    That's hilarious.

  • My Starbucks currently has the numbers around #88... I remember because apparently somebody wanted to use the quote in a talk they were giving at a convention. They sent somebody over to get it. :D

  • I think they should quote me on a Starbucks cup. It would go a little something like this:

    When you're riding in a time machine way far into the future, don't stick your elbow out the window, or it'll turn into a fossil.

    I will neither confirm nor deny that I may or may not have stolen that from Jack Handy.

  • Try "Swimmers Ear" for your hearing problem, you can get it at any drug store. Sounds like you and Nathanial had a great time. Good job Dad!

  • It's ok, Daniel doesn't mind if we use his blog as our own personal communication forum, do you Daniel? Nice.

    Yay for Jack Handy. I found a website today with many deep thoughts. They make me laugh.

    Nice to see you at the wedding shower! My legs were sore when I got home from not crossing them. Stupid painful shower games!

  • The attribution is sort of right, but it's actually a character in a Steve Martin play (_WASP_) that says it.
