Exams

Things to do when your exam is done;

~ write a suicide note then wind your scarf around your neck as if to kill yourself
~ write in very tiny writing, several times, "i hate exams i hate exams i hate exams" on the exam paper, then fall asleep on said paper
~ play rock, paper, scissors. against yourself.
~ write out the lyrics to several of "The Sound of Music" songs on your exam
~ pick up a cardboard box and draw smiley faces all over it


Special thanks to the students of Seoul Christian School for their conrtibutions to this list.

Tight Spaces

From my coworker who grew up in the back country of Kentucky:

"...there won't enough room in there to cuss a cat without gettin' hair in yer mouth."

Say what?

Direct quotation from toilet paper packaging: Soft Sheets That Last & Last!

I'm wondering exactly how long one needs those "soft sheets" of TP to last.... are we talking rinsing and reusing here?

Awwww!

Addicted to lolcats? Check out Cute Overload (now on the right).

Do we get to try them out?

I don't think this is a mis-translation. I'm pretty sure I have heard of "restroom tours" here in Korea where they take you on a tour of different toilets.

A reflection on summer travels

From Domestic Abuse

In case you were wondering.

From IRS Publication 547: Loss of property due to damage by a family pet is not deductible as a casualty loss unless the requirements discussed earlier under Casualty are met. Example: Your antique oriental rug was damaged by your new puppy before it was housebroken. Because the damage was not unexpected and unusual, the loss is not deductible as a casualty loss.

[Rats. There goes my tax evasion scheme!]

Heh.

From my Tax Policy book again: The fifth of these tasks [assigned to Hercules] was one of the most daunting of all--to clean, in one day, 30 years of accumulated manure left by thousands of cattle in the stables of Augeas. (The analogy to the tax system is, we fear, obvious.)

But I really wanted to!

Oh the signs the signs...

Seen in Starbucks

I saw this in the stall of the restroom at Starbucks. The last line made me laugh.
