  2. Why can I never find my book after setting it down for twenty seconds?
    Books have a mechanism in them that enables them to mobilise and run around after being stationary for a while. This forces their readers to get up and look for them, ensuring that avid readers get their much-needed exercise.

    Because you weren’t born with any pockets to put money in.

  5. Why is Baywatch so popular, if nobody I know ever watches it?

  2. I have never seen a mouse run in front of my tv screen. We used to have a chipmunk that lived in the organ, though.

  3. Fate is unkind.

  4. The buttered side is heavier, and tends to flip downwards during the toast’s descent due to the laws of gravity and aerodynamics. It’s no biggie. I’d throw the toast out even if it landed on the unbuttered side. My floors are scary.

  5. When I had to wear a shirt-and-tie I found myself eating at pasta places for lunch approximately 5 times a week. Dress shirts are usually white. Order the fettucini alfredo.

  8. Fate is unkind.

  9. I’m reading this page (and typing poorly formatted stream-of-consciousness responses) because I have no life. Friday night, and I’m killing time till bedtime. Whee for me.

  10. Baby predators … lion cubs, minnow-sized piranha, tadpole shark, squirmy alligator lizardlings …vs… baby harmless creatures … koala cublets … little bitty kittens … puppy-dogs … tiny pink mice with their incredibly delicate little fingers and toes… I’m thinking actually, you’re mistaken. Baby harmless creatures are, in fact, cuter.

  11. You’re suffering the cumulative loss of the brain cells that die each day, and aren’t replaced. It gets worse. Trust me.

  12. What, you don’t like AppleWorks? It’s all you need, really.

  13. Fate is unkind.

  14. B()()BS. Your friends don’t watch it because they have actual porn.

If I admit I’m in denial, does that mean I’m not in it anymore? Is it like a quandary?
