Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
These koans, or parables, were translated into English from a book called the Shaseki-shu (Collection of Stone and Sand), written late in the thirteenth century by the Japanese Zen teacher Muju (the "non-dweller"), and from anecdotes of Zen monks taken from various books published in Japan around the turn of the 20th century.
This one cracked me up:
Ikkyu, the Zen master, was very clever even as a boy. His teacher had a precious teacup, a rare antique. Ikkyu happened to break this cup and was greatly perplexed. Hearing the footsteps of his teacher, he held the pieces of the cup behind him. When the master appeared, Ikkyu asked: "Why do people have to die?"
"This is natural," explained the older man. "Everything has to die and has just so long to live."
Ikkyu, producing the shattered cup, added: "It was time for your cup to die."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

There's no shortage of those...
In fact, I have an illustrated poll I'm composing right now.

Oooh, Fencing Jackets. (Brown's on there...)
From more from the Ivy League collection you can go with Princeton.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
One of the lawyers in Angel's Life of the Party is Dr. Jack Hodgins on Bones. I recall liking his delivery / presence when I first saw this episode. Huh.

I got a new comforter in the mail! No more shaking down back into place to stay warm everywhere (old one had open cells, this one has closed.)
It was a christmas present from mom. Thanks mom!
I'm a lot more cautious about what I put out there (=online.) I didn't used to be, because I used to be a lot less private. Now, however.... as for the old stuff out there, I've sometimes wished I hadn't put it out there, but oh well, so sad and all that. I've let it go.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs
Skimmed, and came up with this:
the mail cart: for the entire month of December, every day at around two, a mailroom employee would trundle a little cart up and down the halls of all 15 floors of the hospital, selling stamps and shipping supplies and taking people's packages to mail out.
I would PAY a bonus for this one. It just sounds like a little bit of heaven.
and re: bonuses, my dad's used to nearly double his salary as an environmental engineering consultant. I, however, work for state government. If they offered a bonus, I might die of shock before I ever had a chance to use it.
