It's the unattended horse principle.  If you ever take the reins of an unattended horse, you can find yourself stuck with it for the rest of the day. 

That's how I met my first wife.

That's first, as in not ex, as in you were married and then remarried? My, my, my, this has turned into an interesting afternoon, after all.

Not surprised. It's the unattended horse principle. If you ever take the reins of an unattended horse, you can find yourself stuck with it for the rest of the day. Jeffrey Bernard taught me that.

I know, but a 5 year old?!? Howling in the middle of 9th avenue? It was heart wrenching. Who can't afford to take a couple of hours out of their fucking day to take look for her mom or call the police.

If Wilfrid did it, the police would be calling him.

reminds me of the joke about the time a guy goes into the cemetery to make future arrangements for his family. on the way in, he notices a man, crying loudly and pounding on a tombstone, exclaiming, "why did you die you bastard, why??!"

a while later, as the guy is leaving, he notices the other man still wailing on the tombstone. he approaches the crying man and says that he is very sorry for his loss.
the crying man says, "it is a very sad day for me. but ya know, i never actually met him."
the first guy then asks, "you never knew him? then why are you so sad?"

the crying man replies "he was my wife's first husband"...

Is no one reading the past 300 emails that specifically state "DO NOT REPLY TO ALL"????  This is absolutely ludicrous that people do not know how to use Lotus Notes!!!

Of course, this lovely reply was sent to everyone on the distribution list.

I had my every three year evaluation by the Dean last night. He was supposed to talk to the kids for 20 min, then observe, but he took over an hour with them. I guess he figured since it's a three hour class, I could lose a third of it no big deal. Ugh, there goes the easy night I had planned for tomorrow. . . .

They didn't like him very much, "He was a dick" was my favorite quote after he left.

a power outage at 4:40am, which set of the smoke alarms, woke up the baby, then stayed off just long enough to mess up the clocks. i had to keep waking myself up so i wouldn't oversleep for work today.
