If I were a bird, I would poop on the President. It's not that I really have anything against the President. I just think that I could get away with that sort of thing as a bird.

I've noticed a conspiracy lately in the humble burg of Fort Wayne... people are all wearing orange shirts. I first noticed it at the store when I stood behind a guy in an orange shirt who was buying a five gallon tub of Preparation H. The checkout gal was also wearing an orange shirt. Then the manager came out of the back wearing a blue shirt (his rank gets him a special color). Then some tweens came into the store wearing, I kid you not, a yellow shirt, a Tool concert shirt, and a wild article of clothing with horizontal stripes. If you mixed some of the colors they were wearing you'd surely get orange. More nearly-orange shirts awaited me at Ye Olde Colonic Irrigation Station where the attendant wore a brown smock, another derivative of orange. IT'S A CONSPIRACY, I TELL YA!!!!!

If I could be any chord, I'd be E minor because E minor chords get extra slaw with their meals for free.

Coffee aficionados will tell you that the microwave is the sworn enemy to a good cup of coffee. However, what they will NOT tell you is that the microwave is also the sworn enemy of tulip bulbs, vials of mercury and crates of live hamsters. It's just like those hoity-toity coffee aficionados to keep that kind of information from us!

There's a big stink in my office about "special rights" and how far a corporation should bend over to accomodate the lifestyles of others. I'm personally of the camp that the sasquatch we just hired in Compensation should sit in a regular 6' X 8' cubicle like everyone else no matter how broad his shoulders.

I remember well the first time I picked up a hitchhiker. It was along route I-70 and I made the Army surplus jacket wearin' fellow sit in the back seat between the mummified remains of ma and pa. His every attempt at nervous small talk I answered with a random line of dialogue from "Gilligan's Island". Then, just as he was about to cry, I informed him that I was Bob Saget's cousin, causing him to wet himself and the seat. I guess that's why they always tell you not to pick up hitchhikers.
Thank you... thank you... I'll be here all week!!!!

I recently purchased an electric fence which I've already installed in my yard, completly surrounding my house. Wait, did I say, my house? I meant, my neighbor's house.

I've given up on trying to bring back old fads like the hula-hoop. Instead, I'm trying to invent my own. There's nothing funny about this. It's just a sad, pathetic glimpse into my excuse for a life. I spent the last seven hours evaluating pet sponges and leather fisbees.

I can't wait until they get all the kinks worked out of the government mandated automobile auto-pilot controls. I simply needed to get to work but my car took a wrong turn at Albuquerque and I ended up in Boise, Idaho just in time for the annual creamed corn midget wrestling competition. So I won't be into work today.

Things have gotten bleak at my office. Everyone's up-to-date on the latest Dilbert cartoons and there are no new
edited GI Joe PSAs to watch. So, co-workers have begun "offing" themselves in some of the most unusual ways. Curtis, from the IT Department, stabbed himself to death in the break room using a plastic butter knife. At least this gave us something to do for a while. Larry, in Accounting ended his life by jumping out the window. Being on the first floor made this quite a challenge for Larry, but he pulled it off after the 131st jump.

Now that the world is putting forth its best efforts to eliminate e-mail spam and pop-up messages, we need to come up with something even more intrusive to annoy Internet users. Therefore, I've proposed a new sound format file that takes control of one's Web browser and sends out a screaching pitch, rendering the user's dogs deaf. I have several national pet sale chains who are willing to invest in this technology.
