Sarcasm: It’s a Tough Thing to Grasp
So, my son has been trying to grasp the concept of sarcasm. But he still misses it from time to time. X96, a local radio station, has a morning show called Radio From Hell. We listen to it on the way to work and on the way to dropping my son off at school.
On Radio From Hell, they have a segment every week called "Things that must go." One week, it's the DJ's picks and the next week it is the listeners' picks. Basically, it's a list of things that annoy us and we wish would go away.
Well, one listener said that the Radio From Hell show itself should be the thing that goes and then added that someone should start a petition to get rid of them. Bill, one of the hosts, then asked why doesn't the listener start the petition because they would love nothing better than to be taken off the air.
At which point my son calls out, "No! I love Radio From Hell!"
It's sarcasm, buddy. Now go get the soap so I can wash your mouth out.
Again... sarcasm.
Soggy Science
Buddha took first place for his grade in his school's science fair. He tested numerous different cereals to see which ones went soggy the fastest and which ones stayed crunchy longest. The wife and I helped him out and it was actually really fun tasting all the cereals at different intervals.
"I took first place and I am in the first grade. Both first."
"So," the wife asked him. "When you are in the second grade, will you want second place."
He thought about it for a second and then replied, "No, I still like first place."
Finally… Almost
And so, after approximately 2 1/2 years without a single break, I attended my final class, gave my final presentation, wrote my final paper, and took my final Final. With the exception of 2 CLEP tests, my Bachelors degree is complete.
I cannot express how I feel to be done. That day that seemed so far away for so long has finally arrived.
Yea, me.
The Life
Ah, yes, this is the life.
Haven't been to work in a week. Still have 3 days off, plus the weekend. I've been burning all of my vacation time.
Now why do you think I would be doing that?
Hee hee hee.
