Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

This paperwork makes no sense at all to me. I'm supposed to fill in a predrawn picture that looks nothing like the freeway. It assumes two cars in the crash. Am I vehicle A? There are five small lines to describe the accident "in detail."

I can't describe my front tire in detail in the space provided.

WTF?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Where readers try to come up with the worst possible caption for New Yorker cartoons....

This one's good too: [link]

Insurance paperwork is of the devil.

Can you call your agent?

Reminds me, next week I gotta cold call dentists to find another one. A difference of at least $1K is just not going to do.

Tom, can you wear your pajamas to work over the weekend?

Yes.

Sorry, sometimes I like to pretend I'm a different Tom....

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

This one's good too:

Because I am sometimes evil, I will think of that next time my daughter forces me to watch Clifford the Big Red Dog.

Oh gawd - this New Yorker Cartoon anti-caption cracked me up (the last Honorable mention): [link]

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

This paperwork makes no sense at all to me. I'm supposed to fill in a predrawn picture that looks nothing like the freeway.

Imagine my difficulty when I had to describe the time the deer jumped on my car on a similar form.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

An hour a week to be loved and pampered and prettied, for free! There is no downside.

Laura, I heartily endorse this plan. You totally deserve it. Think of it as an investment in your continued sanity and not an indulgence.

Thank you to Hec and Ginger for the compliments. Though I still say, in any reality, that I'm short.

(Or the rude and clueless driving one encounters on the DC Beltway.)

I was just going to say this. More often than not, I'd rather drive in Italy than in the metro DC area.

Hugs to GC and her kitty. You deserve a break from the drama.

What are people doing this weekend?

Going to a dinner party at our neighbor's tomorrow, if DH doesn't get my ick. Sunday I think I'm going to mainline some more BSG.

What is the last thing that made you smile unexpectedly?

The cat chirping at the birds in the back yard. It never fails to amuse.

I have to be at work from 9:00am to 6:00pm tomorrow. I don't have to do anything, I just have to be here.

WTF, Tom? Can't they have someone else just be there?

Tonight I'm going to see MacBeth

Can I just say how very jealous I am? Jesse is bogarting the Stewart. Let the rest of the country have some....

I'm glad you're OK, Allyson. Insurance paperwork is the work of the devil.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Write "see attached description" in the space, and provide 100 pages if you want to. Also, embed a JPEG in your Word file. More is always better than less, when attempting to enforce reality on bureaucracy.

In other news, my new Firefox install (2.x) doesn't appear to understand that I have an old/narrow monitor. Irritating.
