I helped paint and repair a house today. There were about 20 people working on the house. Luckily, we had a paint sprayer to help speed the painting process. It was a noisy piece of equipment with an interesting noise/pause style.
[Paint Sprayer] “Brum brum.”
- pauses -
[Paint Sprayer] “Brum brum.”
- pauses -
[Paint Sprayer] “Brum brum.”
- pauses -
(You get the idea).
There was a girl standing next to the sprayer…
[Girl] “That is an annoying sound.”
[Me] “Yea?”
[Girl] “I can’t handle repetitive sounds.”
[Me] “Really?”
[Girl] “Yea, it’s gonna drive me crazy.”
[Me] “Maybe you should go somewhere else.”
[Girl] “That could be taken as very rude.”
[Me] “Take it as an obvious solution to your problem.”

Basketball Surprises
I’m proud to announce that the CFBC Makeshifts have advanced to the finals in the yearly Run and Suck Air Basketball league. After beginning the season 0-5, our team has turned things around with a 4-1 finish. And with some good defense and timely offense, we will win the league. I’ll let you know how it goes after Tuesday!
The Unexpected
As I was driving home today, I noticed a Toyota Camry ease up toward my car. The woman driving the vehicle was obviously oblivious to the world and seemed to only half-heartedly acknowledge my car’s prior claim to that particular space on the road. But she stopped in the nick of time and missed my car.
Of course, I wondered, “What would cause someone to nearly rear-end someone else?”
So I peered through my rear-view mirror to see that this woman was entranced with her own acne. That’s right folks, this woman (probably late 20s) was busy popping zits on her face. As I watched, I saw that she took care of unsighly blemished on her chin, forehead, cheek and eyebrows.
And I thought I’d seen everything.
