It is like, How did Jimmy get his boogers into his sister's hair? Well, they were two of the nine chidlren mashed into the back seat, so it's possible he just breathed too hard on her.

I looked up a moment ago to discover that a coworker was wearing leather pants.
I just used up all my remaining willpower for the day by not pointing and laughing at him.

I don't really get the analogy. But I don't have boogers in my hair. Or live in Boston.

Should we send him pictures of you wearing leather pants to show him how its done?

Well, I managed to get the copyediting test to the PO just before it closed.
I love it when a plan comes together and I don't have to pick the restaurant....
Hey, the restaurant is not yet picked! You may yet be called up for duty. I have sent my interviewer a message for more specifics on the meeting and her location. She said she wanted suggestions, but I'm sort of worried about suggesting the wrong type of place since this is more of a "we have someone in our group in DC/Balt next week for business, can you meet with them?" than an official interview. Whatever that means.

I'm just saying that leather pants don't really belong in a cubicle unless Angelus is slaughtering a hapless temp at Wolfram & Hart.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Actually, if I was on the bomb squad, I'd be professionally paranoid about the placement of the Mooninites, because they were in many places that a serious terrorist would pick -- bridges, overpasses, public transportation, hospitals, and there were enough of them that it could be an organized effort.
Just because they looked harmless was no guarantee they would turn out to be mistakes -- there's such a thing as bombs not intended to hurt the general public, but to kill the police who respond to bomb sites, with a second, much bigger and more well-concealed bomb hidden nearby ready to go off just about when the police presence is at its maximum.
So when reports of more and more of these unknown devices started coming in, I don't blame Police HQ for pushing the Big Red Button and calling in the figurative Marines.
Of course, the political idiocy/persiflage afterwards just gives me the hives and makes my region look much stupider than it actually is, but there really was a good solid reason that it was as much as fuss at the time as it was.
