If Jan Brunvand has taught us anything (and since, next to Cecil and Martin Gardner, he’s one of the GREATS, he has)
When one’s neighbor knocks softly on one’s door, waits a few minutes then knocks softly again, then knocks one more time before disappearing, then he was trying to get your attention because he has an* AXE IN HIS BACK!!!*** (or a cut throat). Had you opened the door when he first knocked, an ambulance could’ve been called.
Hey no worries. I was just wondering if those cloning experiments that I’d participated in for bonus credit had been more successful than the researchers originally let on…
Fenris- your link isn’t working for me. Could you pwease try again?
Anyways, Scott, personally I am of the belief that if you had said “Who EEZ it?” he would have been all “this is the VIPER” and you’d have been “Oh sweet jesus” and then you’d have gone online typing out your troubles. And then, he’d come back and you’d say, “Um…now who is it?” and he’d be all, “it’s the VIPER” and this time he’d be turning the doorknob. And you’d be too scared to lock it…so you’d hide. And then FINALLY he’d open the door and come in and you’d say (because, I don’t know, you have no short term memory), “Oh for the love of GOD, who is it?” and he’d say, “This is the viper, i’ve come to vipe the vindows.” And then he’d gut you or something, I don’t know.
The link goes to http://www.snopes.com/horrors/madmen/roommate.htm but it has a <br> at the end that needed to be removed for it to work as a link. Just look in the status bar when you hover over a link and most problems will be apparent (like that html tag, or a comma or period at the end of the url)
Ah, thanks again, OpalCat. Yes, Scott, you definitely want to open that door about now. I mean, it’s been three days. I’m curious- DID he want to murder you, or did he just need a cup of kibble for the casserole or something?
