I hate ordering sammiches from Subway. Every time I order a footlong sammich there, I have to be told by the Subway guy that my order is not one of the $5 footlongs. I know, dude. I can read.
This is the same Subway guy who gave us the wrong sandwich (it should have been turkey and avocado with no mayo or onions), and when we came back a few minutes later, got annoyed because the other guy, who got my sandwich, didn't bring his back. "He got 50 cents of free avocado," the guy said. Seriously.
A kid asked me the other day why people throw shoes over power lines? Because hats don't stay up there.
I still hate the new no-cell-phone while driving law. Before long, we are going to be a society of bluetooth-headsetted idiots walking around talking to no apparent partner-in-conversations everywhere. You can no longer tell the difference between a normal person having an argument on a cell phone and a dangerous crazy person who is talking to a tree and might kill you if you get too close. That's bad public policy.
I haven't memorized my voicemail password, so I check it rarely. But who does? How many times have you called someone back and said “I saw that you called but didn’t listen to the voicemail yet, Is it anything urgent?” I do that a lot.
I was late getting a prescription filled, and while waiting, I read Life Magazine's Dream Destinations book called "100 of the World's Best Vacations" I was amazed to have seen fully 15% of the places listed there: London; the Riviera Maya; Orlando; the Ahwahnee hotel; NYC; the Bahamas; Memphis; the Inside Passage; the Burren; Snowdonia; Cooperstown; Daytona Beach; the Snake River; Key West; and Napa Valley.
Why is Mexico not a world power? The U.K. has scant natural resources, and yet the U.K. remains a dominant world power even though most of its former colonies all over the world have achieved complete independence. Mexico is very large. It has vast oil reserves. It has thousands of miles of beautiful beaches, developed and undeveloped. It has gold, silver and other rich mining resources. It has a huge pool of labor. Yet, year after year, it remains poor, and its cities remain dangerous, dirty places.
A muffin and a flavored coffee at the Four Seasons hotel in Alexandria, Egypt costs the equivalent of two days worth of a local laborer's wages. I could move there and live like a pharaoh.
I need to consolidate my frequent flier activities. I currently have three free flights coming on Southwest, two coming on Alaska and one coming on Northwest. I could take my whole family somewhere great for free, but we'd have to split up for three different flights.
The Mole Station Native Nursery, in New South Wales, used to own the website at www.molestationnursery.com until people pointed out that it was a very bad web address for anyone who wasn't running a child care service for parents who want their children raped while they worked. You can now find the nursery at www.molerivernursery.com.
Therapist Finder is still at www.therapistfinder.com, however.
