Scenario:

You are driving in a car at a constant speed.On your left side is a valley and on your right side is a fire engine travelling at the same speed as you. In front of you is a galloping pig which is the same size as your car and you cannot overtake it. Behind you is a helicopter flying at ground level. Both the giant pig and the helicopter are also travelling at the same speed as you. What must you do to safely get out of this highly dangerous situation?

Answer: Get off the children's Merry Go Round, you're pissed.

I am not sure why this struck me so funny. Could be that I am really bored with revising my paper (yet again).

one in a million mom

i love my mom. there is no one else like her. i am pretty sure she is the only person who first of all is nervy enough to phone around saskatoon in order to find out if her daughter is 'okay' then somehow leaves the impression with the stranger (aka caro's mom) she reaches as being 'sweet'. last night she told me a story which put her personality in a whole new perspective for me. while attempting to phone my bc dwelling brother, she accidentally used the area code 306 instead of 250. instead of the quick "i'm sorry, i have the wrong phone number" statement, my mom proceed to engage in a 15 minute conversation with the lady she accidentally reached. apparently the poor victim of her call lives in Easten SK, right in the heard of chickpea country. since they were retired farmers, they were quite interested in what the strangers daughter was doing in saskatoon!?! yeah, i love my mom.
