Thought of the Day

0 points here. Now I know why the Smithsonian called and said that my room is ready.
 
Time to ascribe to the Keith Richards fitness routine.

I someone works up a sweat while watching Keith Richards, is that called "Sweatin' to the Oldies"?
 
They Walk Among Us!
I was at the checkout at Walmart, minding my own business, when the cashier rang up my total: $46.64. I handed her a crisp $50 bill. She looked me dead in the eye, gave me back $46.64, and continued scanning items like a professional.
Me: "Uh… I think there’s a mistake."
Her: huffing dramatically "Sir, I am educated. I know what I’m doing."
She pushed the money back at me like I was trying to scam her.
So, I did what any reasonable person would do—I gave it back.
She, once again, pushed it right back at me with extra attitude.
I shrugged, picked up my bags, and walked out with $46.64 in my pocket.

They Walk Among Us…
I walked into Starbucks with a "Buy-One-Get-One-Free" coupon for a Grande Latte. The barista studied it like it was the Declaration of Independence, then turned to a chalkboard that read "Buy One, Get One Free."
Her eyes lit up. "Oh! So that means… they’re both free!"
She happily handed me two free lattes.
I didn't argue. I just walked out, sipping my victory.

They Walk Among Us…
One day, I was strolling along the beach with some friends when one of them gasped dramatically, pointed ahead, and yelled:
"Look! A dead bird!"
Another friend immediately looked up at the sky and asked, "Where?"
I just… I had no words.

They Walk Among Us…
My brother was house hunting and asked the real estate agent which direction was north. He explained that he didn’t want the sun waking him up every morning.
The agent furrowed her brow. "Wait… does the sun rise in the north?"
My brother, thinking she was joking, laughed.
She was not joking.
He gently explained that the sun rises in the east… and, you know, has been doing that for quite a while now.
She shook her head and said, "Oh, I don’t keep up with all that stuff."
I... I had to walk away.
They Walk Among Us…
Back when I worked in a 24/7 call center, a guy called and asked:
"What hours are you open?"
Me: "Sir, we’re open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week."
Him: "Okay, but is that Eastern or Pacific time?"
I stared at my screen for a solid 10 seconds before replying:
"Uh… Pacific."
He thanked me and hung up, probably feeling proud of himself.
They Walk Among Us…
My sister has one of those emergency seatbelt cutters in her car—designed to save her life if she ever gets trapped.
She keeps it in the trunk.

Right after we moved into our house here I asked my Wife -
"How come the Sun comes up in the North?
Turns out our bedroom faces East,,not North,as it appears to.
