If 4 out of 5 people suffer from diarrhea, does that mean one person enjoys it?

If a cow laughed, would milk come out of her nose?

If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?

Why do they call it an asteroid when it’s outside the hemisphere, but call it a hemorrhoid when it’s in your ass?

Why does a dog get mad at you when you blow air in its face, but when you take it on a car ride it can’t wait to stick its head out the window into the wind?

« Expression :: April 17th, 2004 

The other night I dreamed (or is that dreamt?) that I was incredibly hurt, frustrated, angry and upset about something, but instead of self-harming, I was drawing. Vicious, violent drawings in red and black; messy scrawls; more like solid blocks of frustration pounded onto the page in crayon? charcoal? cray pas? Can’t quite remember - not important anyway.

The point is, it worked. In my dream, I felt better, was smiling and laughing even as I drew. I wish I could express myself through art like that, or a similar, physical, healthy, non-injuring way. Paper and pen are good, but sometimes they just don’t cut it (pun intended).

« Belated Easter Entry :: April 15th, 2004 

A lady opens her refrigerator and sees the Easter Bunny sitting on one of the shelves.

“What are you doing in there?” she asks.

The Easter Bunny replies, “The is a Westinghouse, isn’t it?”

“Yes,” the lady says.

“Well,” says the Easter Bunny, “I’m westing!”

I HOPE YOU ALL HAD A SAFE AND HAPPY EASTER!

« P is For ….. :: April 12th, 2004 

My four-year-old niece is learning to play the piano.

She was proudly showing me her music book, with pretty stickers marking the pages of the pieces she can play.

I closed the book and pointed to the word ‘piano’ on the cover.

“What letter does ‘piano’ start with?” I asked her.

“I don’t know,” she replied, “but it’s the same letter that ‘poo’ starts with.”
