Heh.
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

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

What is up with the people who use the paper towel to touch all the doors on their way out of the bathroom?
They are the same people who use the millimeter thin toilet seat cover thinking it's going to prevent something "yucky" from getting on them.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
What annoys me are the people who used the paper towel on the door and then throw it on the ground outside the bathroom.
OMG, they do what?? That's really annoying!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm gonna keep doing it anyway.
Not that paper towel thing--just the seat cover thing. Last couple places I worked had trash cans just inside the doors of the restrooms so you could throw away the paper towel before the door swung shut.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We are having Come as you Caption day at work today. Folks dress as a character from one of the shows we do, the more outrageous, the better. I did not dress up, but instead am a "witness" from iLaw & Order. I have a taped body outline in the doorway of my office and am telling anyone who comes by about the crime.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
The losers from all this will be the vast majority of women. With full social sanction given to homoerotic activity, the historical precedent suggests that tomorrow's women will have a harder time finding and holding on to suitable men.
I must go home and warn the Mrs that gay marriage means fewer eligible bachelors. She'll be so very disappointed.

Do you do it while walking around, like everyone does with cops? I want to know more about the costumes!

Man who walked into Burning Man fire loses lawsuit
I think "Duh!" is the appropriate response here....
Anthony Beninati sued the organizers of Burning Man because he said they failed to restrain him from walking into a fire. He lost the lawsuit.
Beninati's complaint stated that when he approached the bonfire, the flames were still roughly 40 feet high. He walked around the bonfire three times, each time "circl[ing] a little closer to the fire." Eventually, he walked still closer, into what was variously described as an area of "embers," "low flames," "burning remnants," and "a spot where there was fire on either side of him." Basically, he had walked inside a huge bonfire. Then, as you might have expected, he tripped on something and fell into the actual fiery part of the bonfire, burning his hands.
In his deposition, Beninati admitted he knew "fire was dangerous and caused burns" before he walked into one. He knew there was some possibility of falling into said fire. He admitted no one affiliated with the defendants asked him to walk into the fire or told him it would be safe to do so. But he testified that he did not think it would be dangerous to walk into the fire, although he knew it "was not 'absolutely safe, because there [was] a fire present.'" And, as noted, fire is hot.
