What?

Things that don't make sense
  • Braille on a sign 10 feet in the air
  • "Please remove lint from trap before and after use"
  • Gold dollar coins
  • Orchestra music without wind instruments (except for Adagio for Strings)
  • Solitary hairs on my body of great length and odd placement (one on my shoulder and one on the outer rim of my ear)
  • Non-scientist journalists reporting about science
  • Jane Austin's writing of books
  • "Could God make a potato chip so big that..."
  • A dancing robot
  • "If you fall off a cliff in your dream and hit the ground, you die."
  • Why head massages feel so good
  • Backgammon
  • Wesley Willis

Now, please note that just because something doesn't make sense, that doesn't mean it's necessarily bad. Examples of non-sensical yet good things would be head massages, Wesley Willis, and dancing robots.

A couple of those make sense, but just aren't the best of ideas. Dollar coins make a lot of sense, since coins can last longer than dollar bills by ten times. Try giving a stripper a dollar coin, and you'll see why the idea isn't practical.

Oh well, my $.02.

I realized that I might get a smidge of feedback on the Jane Austin thing, but I'm not ashamed nor will I keep it a secret that I just don't "get" that genre of literature which I affectionately name the "femme novel." That doesn't mean I don't like female authors (thumbs up to Barbara Kingsolver and Margaret Atwood), I just don't like novels such as Sense and Sensibility that bore me to tears with their love triangles and flowery language.

The End!

So what did the braille on the sign 10 feet in the air say? Congratulations, you've made it to the top? Isn't life much more wonderful when you are 10 feet in the air? What the hell are you doing here? I love you, will you marry me? What? Now you got me all curious, Erik! I think I need a head massage.

The sign stated the room's maximum occupancy! Pretty anti-climactic, eh?

Head massages are free for the taking when it comes to me. I even have The Tingler!
