I looked out my apartment window, and I
saw a bird wearing sneakers and a button saying, "I ain't flying no where."
I said, "What's your problem buddy?" He said, "I'm sick of this stuff-
winter here, summer there, winter here, summer there. I don't know who
thought this stuff up, but it certainly wasn't a bird." I said, "Well, I was
just making breakfast, come on in. Want some eggs? Sorry." |

Last time I went skiing, I had to get up
at 5:00 in the morning. I knew I couldn't do that, so I slept with my skis
on. My ride came at 5:30 in the morning, couldn't wake me up so he carried
me out of the house, put my skis on the roof rack of the car, and drove to
the mountain. Seventeen miles later, I woke up out of this incredibly
bizarre dream that I was skydiving horizontally. I'm sure this has happened
to you. |
