I had posted some great stuff here on Friday, along with extra questions, assorted wittiness, and delicious commentary. And now it’s gone, gone, gone! ---

Can we add one more? - When should the old roll of toilet paper be removed from the spindle and replaced with a new? a) When there’s no paper left, or when there’s such a pathetically small amount left that you can see most of the cardboard tube. b) When there’s absolutely no paper left, which is why smart people always leave the very last sheet on the roll for the next person. c) When somebody else gets around to it. d) Change the roll? Doesn’t the paper grow back if you leave the empty cardboard tube there? ---

Egregiously hijacking my own thread . . . some friends and I watched _Shaft_. . . the new one with Samuel L. Jackson, and when we got to the end we just kind of looked at each other. “I don’t get it.” “Yeah.” “Uh, yeah, I totally didn’t understand that movie.” Just then, the theme song said, “He’s a complicated man, and _no one really understands him but his woman._” Ahh, all becomes clear. None of us was Shaft’s woman, so obviously the movie wasn’t _supposed to make sense_\*. Whew. And now, back to your normally scheduled elf jokes . . .
