Vodka, carrots, rocks and brooms
After my hectic day at work I really think I could make a fortune with a vending machine for office buildings. The only two products it would stock would be prozac and shots of vodka.
-----------
We recently got one of those handheld 20Q(uestions) games. Very very cool. And hey! on clearance, only five bucks.
It's very good at guessing your "thing". My son, 9 years old, tried "carrot" One of the 20 questions was "Does it bring joy to the people?". He wasn't sure and so asked me.
I mumbled to myself: Well, I'm sure to a small group of freaks it does.
He of the bat-like hearing said: Pardon me, I didn't hear you?
To which I replied, overly loud: NO, no it doesn't. Just hit the NO button.
(whew.. close call)
----------------
While talking to my beau about the Olympic games recently I was telling him of some news piece I'd read about one of the Curling (Unoffical moto: Because it's so damn cold none of our lakes are unfrozen to skip the stones on.)teams. Only problem, I couldn't think of the word "Curling". So.. I said, You know.. That rock and broom sport!
Rock and broom! Rock and broom! he cried, you're making one of our countries sports sound like a mockery.
One quick wikipedia check later and I'd confirmed the words Rock and Broom were used. Only they don't use real brooms anymore. They use a swiffer-kinda-looking thing.
I made a crack about them having to "squeegie" the ice. He wasn't amused.
*mental note: When I move up to Canada make sure I talk to the locals about my fascination with "that rock and broom sport" and "hockey-ball" aka how-not-to-make-friends-and-influence-people*
I wanna see if I'll get deported ;)
