The dumb
things I do
The following is a prime
example of my
unintentional
brainlessness
A while back, my mom had
to have surgery.
For a few weeks, my
grandma lived in a very nice nursing home.
The day we went to pick
her up was a busy day
I was behind on laundry,
so I
yanked an old (but clean) shirt out of the closet and threw
it on
As we went down the hall
to pick up Grandma
Another patientÕs
relatives were leaving
Upon seeing me, the lady
took a step back,
looking directly at my
chest
Right then I realized
I had worn the wrong shirt
to a nursing home
I know
Totally true story

Deep Thought
Of the Day
Normal is getting dressed
in clothes that you buy for work
and driving through
traffic in a car that you are still paying for,
in order to get to the job
you need to pay for the clothes and the car and the house
you leave vacant all day
so you can afford to live in it
