Only people who have put duvet covers on would get this, but it’s totally spot on. I have a method to keep me sane, but even my method involves a lot of deep breathing.

Poor high school seniors
I’m sorry, but this headline made me laugh.
It’s a class full of Pondexters! I love it. Though I wouldn’t mind if they were happier.
Kid apology.
Don’t worry kid. When I was called Patty, I couldn’t spell Patricia either.
As you can see, we did not have the best encounter during the previous day’s recess. Things have improved since then.
New Timer
I purchased this great new timer to assist me with a project I’m working on. It’s fun because you turn it on and place the side with the amount of time you need facing up. Then, when the timer goes off, you move the cube to the side with zero on it and it stops. No buttons!
I was greatly amused by the first “caution” listed. Has someone actually done this?
Someone has a little too much discretionary spending money.
From an Oregonian article about most downtown parking tickets accumulated. The top winner is a UPS truck. But also high on the list? The daughter of a doctor with a little too much spending money. Who also has a parking space in a garage. The absurdity of this made me laugh.
The world that exists in catalogs.
Did you know we lived in a world with not just one, but three options for earplug dispensers? Me neither!
Three things from the paper.
Ads like these make me very angry. I dislike the pressure to look a certain way, especially after putting your body through the reverse boot camp that is the process of creating life. I also hate how the model’s torso is stretched out to make her look thinner. And I hate that three surgical procedures (any of which could kill you) are crammed into one day. When I was growing up, my father often bought the Sunday Oregonian (which was available in Boise) and the plastic surgery ads always disturbed me. The Idaho Statesmen didn’t have plastic surgery ads. But I bet it does now.
This is the biggest “duh” statement of the day.
And this just made me laugh. It reminds me of the “learn multiplication facts AND have fun!” nonsense.
Best Oregonian headline of the year?
I think so!
The movie review that went with it was pretty funny too. I liked that the review was amusing, while still pointing out who would enjoy the film.
One letter’s journey to the wrong side of the country.
This arrived at work. It was sent from New Jersey.
Josias Campusano-Polanco? Doesn’t work at my school.
105 Clark St? 105 is the street number of my building, but we’re not located on Clark Street.
Roselle, NJ 07203-2504? None of those come close to matching the city, state and zip. (the 7, 2, & 0 match in that digit order, but nothing else)
So this letter traveled from New Jersey to my work in Portland, Oregon just because our street address is 105. Weird. I was so amused I wrote the recipient a note on the back of the envelope before sending it on its way.
The wit that is contained in the 12 Bottle Bar
I purchased the 12 Bottle Bar book because I’m interested in building a home bar and doing it with only 12 bottles seems like a grand idea. I had no idea the authors would be so amusing. They also feature other amusing authors, such as Sam Greenspan, who tells us about “11 Drinks Not to Order for the Opposite Sex.” This paragraph in particular amused me.
