I don't know. I think there is an ongoing logic-problem nestled somewhere in the middle of Jack Bauer. Basically, every year he
saves the world in martyrophilic fashion, but he gets to do it on his own terms. A true martyr would go willingly to his death, or to a Chinese prison, because that was what the country needed of him. (After all, isn't he the one who executed Wossname last year, for this very reason??) Part of giving-all-for-your-country is taking orders, you know? Jack is so bad at that, I think he should run for President, just so that he can be the one who gives orders, instead of taking them.
I am not working either. Tommy and I need to start a support group.

Me neither. I spent all my energy on the algebra kids today (and honestly, don't put graphing-calculator problems on the homework when you know the students don't own them; put them on a different worksheet and let them do those problems in class BEFORE taking on the homework).
I took a break from work to help my boss push two of his Morris Minors (old British cars that used to be very popular) into the building.
But before that I actually finished the work I was supposed to do, except for the testing.
OK, in case anyone can be made to feel better by laughing at stupid people hurting themselves: [link]
Two Star Wars fans are in a critical condition in hospital after apparently trying to make light sabres by filling fluorescent light tubes with petrol.
A man, aged 20, and a girl of 17 are believed to have been filming a mock duel when they poured fuel into two glass tubes and lit it.
OK, I suppose I shouldn't laugh if they are in critical condition... or is it OK to laugh at the stupid entirely separate from consideration of the severity of their injuries?
darwin award runners up. submit it.

I feel bad that they're hurt, but at the same time I'm gobsmacked at the sheer 'what the hell were they thinking?' of it all.

I think the severity of their injuries is probably directly proportional to the level of stupidity. Which is directly proportional to how funny it is. Which is indirectly proportional to the amount of sympathy they deserve. It's basic maths.
