Nuh-uh. I don't want to hear about other people's sex lives at work! My job is full of enough TMI.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

What is even happening?
Apparently the weather service has a slogan to convince people not to drive into high water.
Turn Around, Don't Drown.
I guess it rhymes better than "What are you, a dumbass?"
Yeah, but it's no: "You shall not pass. Dumbass."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
(CBS) SACRAMENTO A woman is admitted to the Sacramento mental hospital, after trying to drive off with a fire engine, half-naked.
Fire officials say the attempted theft happened when they were on a first aid call. The driver of the fire engine says he was at the back of the truck, when he heard the accelerator. He found Schilicia Griffin in the driver's seat, and pulled her out.
Officials say Griffin was just released from the mental hospital shortly before she tried to steal the truck. She has been re-admitted for evaluation.

I could just give the overly churched, insufficiently loved, default kiddo answer when a missionary asks any question..."God! Jesus! The Bible!" One of those must be right, they assume.
Yesterday we were at a tiny mission school on Navajo, and trying to get the littlest kiddoes to come up with things that have rhythm. The SO was trying to get them to say "clock" and so leaned his head toward the classroom clock, saying, "Something right around this area." But his head was right next to the standard issue Christ portrait, so the kids all shouted, happily, "Jesus!"
"Err..." we said, "Well, yeah, probably Jesus has rhythm..."
