Hi all!
Does anyone get the pun in this joke?
Back in the 1800s the Tates Watch Company of Massachusetts wanted to produce other products and, since they already made the cases for pocket watches, decided to market compasses for pioneers traveling west. It turned out that although their watches were of finest quality, their compasses were so bad that people often ended up in Canada or Mexico rather than California. This, of course, is the origin of the _expression: "He who has a Tates is lost!"
I am helping a cow-orker with homework (somehow her daughter's teacher gave the paretns homework)
He who hesitates is lost, Sophia.
Oh my God! I guess you just have to say it out loud!
PS: I have not yet recieved an orange kitty in the mail ;)
Also,
Rudolph the Red knows rain, dear.
(Which is, you know, the punchline to a joke about a communist weather forcaster with a good reputation for predicting precipitation. Isn't it funny that I put the punchline first? No? Sorry....)
He who hesitates is lost, Sophia.
You rock, Jesse.
Sophia, I didn't get it, either. I kept trying to make "Tates" into "Taste."
Today
I'll make it out of the house in time for tea latte. I swear.
Didn't quite make it to the gym. I need to work out how to work out. I think I should move up my bedtime. I can fall behind on TV, right? I have TiVo, and I don't have to be ubercurrent, right?
Rudolph the Red knows rain, dear.
Always makes me think of
The Monkey Wrench Gang.
I'm watching Justin Chambers on yesterday's Ellen, and he seems like a really nice guy -- really appreciative of the steady work and the success of the show. Of course, he's extra glad for the paycheck, what with the FIVE KIDS.
It was the first interview I've seen with him where he seemed to display personality.
