As a connoisseur and leading exponent of tissue crumpling, I have to say that yours are arranged in a manner guaranteed to excite my critical antennae. The style momentarily eluded my rapidly diminishing faculties but I now appreciate that they are Post-Modern tissues. Not before time do we finally see a work of serious artistic merit on this message board. You are to be commended.
I wouldn’t buy it though.
I changed a light bulb today but don’t think it was a simple matter. I needed a 60w standard clear bayonet cap but, in the absence of same, had to make do with a 40w candle clear bayonet cap. Fortunately the experience was only mildly catastrophic.

This week? Scraped slices of colon tissue off a slide, digested it, and tested it for mutations that cause resistance to a chemotheraputic drug.

I saw a bat fly into a wall and I gave a handjob to two different guys-- at the same time.
…
Does that make me a slut? :o

Next time try concentrating on the handjobs instead of watching wildlife.

Um. Outside of seeing 80 year old titties, I can’t possibly top the previous two entries.

About thirty minutes ago I was standing in the middle of my living room naked, wearing a white hard hat and trying juggle my steak knives.

Check the OP, **Clockwork**. I would not call this “trivial.”
Then again, maybe _you_ would:

I made a ‘snow’ angel out of grass clippings I accidently dumped on my driveway.
Then I took a shower because I itched real bad.

Packed all of my worldly possessions into a single 7’ x 10’ trailer.
Wasted $450.30 of the U.S. Doper’s tax dollars by showing up to work and doing _absolutely_ nothing.

I’m like a two-term president after the third election: a “lame duck”.

Got a urine sample from a newborn by removing the plastic collection bag I had taped over his tiny little pee-er and removed the urine-soaked cotton balls I had placed therein for collection purposes and placed them in a 20 cc syringe and squeezed out 12 cc of urine.
This is why I get paid the big bucks.

I saw a Grayish Saltator just outside a banana plantation in Changuinola, Bocas del Toro - making 804 bird species I’ve seen in Panama.
