"Hey, how's it going?"
"Oh, all right, I guess. We had kind of a bad week."
"Oh yeah? Why's that?"
"Well, I've got this really crappy tenant downstairs right now. He comes home drunk from the bar every night around midnight and starts playing the accordian. Out of tune. To Motown."
(pause)
"I wouldn't mind it nearly so much if he were in tune."
-- Two guys in a coffee shop, Boulder Creek, CA

Scenes
Seen in my neighborhood last night (San Diego, 3/16/04):
A Jeep screeching down a residential road at Mach 2 with Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car" blaring from the radio at 120 decibles.
No, I didn't actually measure either of those values.

All I can say about this is "ACK!"

Kid Logic
Funny
A neighbor, who also happens to be a co-worker, is walking up and down the street with his two little kids, the older of whom is on a snazzy, shiny, new bike with training wheels.
Me: "Hey, that's a pretty cool bike! Did you get that for Christmas?"
Kid: "Noooo...."
Me: "Oh, it didn't come from Santa Claus?"
Kid: (looking at me like I'm a total moron) "No, it came from the store!"
OK then.
