I was just looking through a stack of papers that Lou pulled out of my desk drawer and I found a Dear Abby column that I cut out of the paper a few months back. At first I couldn't remember why and then I got to this line, "she had always told me 'we were soul mates and our love would never die.' Now she has threatened to notify the police." For some reason that line kills me. Not so funny? Maybe not. But, the context is that this guy was married 18 years and then "met the girl of his dreams," and dumped his kids and wife and ran off with her. Then he was told he MIGHT have cancer and ran back to his wife and kids. Turns out he didn't have cancer after all and he tried to run back to the girlfriend. She wasn't having it. The fact that some guy might actually freak his girlfriend out enough to call the police is DEFINITELY not funny. It's just his complete lack of a clue. That's funny. What is the matter with people?
Turns out I don't really feel all that much like writing. I'm crabby and I have the sudden urge to organize this whole stinkin' mess of an office. Off I go.
Hope you are all less crabby and more organized.
