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

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Really? So cartons are a convenience thing, not a price thing. I did not know that.
Eh, they're a bit cheaper, but not a lot.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I do think I'll stop turning down the money people on the street sometimes offer when they ask for a cigarette....

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Hurt your brain: Einstein's riddle.
We did it this morning, and it drove me bonkers. (I eventually got the right answer.)
Also, for anyone doing it, let me say this, because we read it in a magazine that worded hints #4 and #9 differently:
4. The Green house is next to, and on the left of the White house. [This is if you are looking at the houses, NOT in them.]
9. The Norwegian lives in the first house. [Leftmost.]
Go!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am too lazy to do that kind of logic puzzle anymore.

Me too. I know it will make my brain hurt. I know I can do it anyway, despite the brain-pain, but I don't see the point.

Ooops. Sorry -- just wanted to share.

If I had some graph paper handy, maybe -- I really loved that kind of thing as a kid.
Therefore, I submit that it's not that 98% of people aren't smart enough, it is that we are too lazy.

No need to apologize - there are plenty of smart Buffistas up to the challenge, methinks.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm guessing the Einstein part (and the percentages) is an urban legend? Still a good puzzle.
