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

I got asked what kind of screws got put in my leg. I refrained from saying, "How the hell should I know?"

They need to know if the screws are "MRI-safe." (Which means "non-magnetic".) If not, an MRI could cause serious injury.

Anyway, they're contacting the hospital where I had the surgery....

I didn't get notes from my surgery. My surgery didn't involve metal, though.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Third-graders plotted to attack teacher

What the whaaaaat? Wow. I mean.... WOW.

WTF? I mean, in 6th grade a bunch of people rose spontaneously and shut the teacher in the coat closet (it had doors like a garage), but it was more of a joke on him. Especially since he was a big burly man who could have gotten out at any time.

No, it is alphabetization or nothing. I have spoken.

If the subject requires a glossary, I don't think it's a good idea to force people to interpret your organizational logic simply to get at what the goddamn words mean. If it requires an effort, most people just aren't going to do it.

The only surgery I've ever had was oral.

I feel like that comment deserves a rimshot.

You know, if it was a couple of students, I'd think, Wow, serious disturbance going on there, but nine? Okay, I don't really think all nine took it seriously, but it still makes me go, Whaaa?

re: taxes - and how am I getting refunded MORE than was withheld?

I need to adjust my W-4 to stop this, I want my money throughout the year instead of a refund. No idea how. I am asking my tax guy, I figure I pay him so I should use him for crap like this.

ETA - MORE allowance will lower withholding - check.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I had a professor of ethics in college. She is at a different school now, but is a leading philosopher of moral theory. Her mother is a peace activist and philosopher of ethics and her grandparents are Nobel laureates. Her father was president at Harvard. And in the third grade, she brought windex to school in a plan to poison her teacher. Little kids are immoral little beasts.
