FReeper Canteen ~ Part II of The Mongols ~ November 16, 2004

From my inbox...

While looking at a house, my brother asked the real estate agent which direction was north because, he explained, he didn't want the sun waking him up every morning. She asked, "Does the sun rise in the north?"

When another person jumped in and explained that the sun rises in the east (and has for some time), she shook her head and said, "Oh, I don't keep up with that stuff."

And then she voted.

I used to work in technical support for a 24x7 call center. One day I got a call from an InDUHvidual who asked what hours the call center was open. I told him, "The number you dialed is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week." He responded, "Is that Eastern or Pacific time?" Wanting to end the call quickly, I said, "Pacific.."

And then he voted.

So my colleague and I were eating our lunch in our cafete! ria when we overheard one of the administrative assistants talking about the sunburn she got on her weekend drive to the shore. She drove down in a convertible, but "didn't think she'd get sunburned because the car was moving."

And then she voted.

I was in a high school advanced physics class and the teacher was talking about a new military weapon that uses sonic waves on the battlefield to burst enemy soldier's chests. One InDUHvidual in the class spoke up and said, "Well that's stupid! Why don't they just wear headphones?"

And a few years later, he voted.

My sister has a lifesaving tool in her car. It's designed to cut through a seatbelt if she gets trapped. She keeps it in the trunk.

And then she voted.

My friends and I were on a beer run and noticed that the cases were discounted 10%. Since it was a big party, we bought two cases. The cashier multiplied two times 10% and gave us a 20% discount.

And then they all voted.

I was hanging out with a friend of mine when we saw a woman walk by us with a nose ring attached to an earring by a chain. My friend said, "Wouldn't the chain rip out every time she turned her head?" I had to explain to her that a person's nose and ear remain the same distance apart no matter which way the head is turned.

And then she voted.

I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area. So I went to the lost luggage office and told the woman there that my bags never showed up. She smiled and told me not to worry because they were trained professionals and I was in good hands. "Now," she asked me, "has your plane arrived yet?"

And then she voted.

Good morning to everyone at the FR Canteen.
Another wet day in Central Texas.
More than 2 inches of rain and counting.

Why good morning Common Tator. Thank you for another little scoop on the Media. You know I almost feel sorry for those guys. Why you ask? Well, didn't you? LOL.

Really, they are trying to reach the new generation with all the shows they are putting on television. They probably even think that today's generation, being raised by the 60s & 70s crowd, are much more liberal than the 50s crowd.

But, lo-and-behold! Surprises meet them. Cause now the 50s crowd are rearing their ugly head (not literally). They are speaking up and out. They have a lot more wisdom and power than many of the 20-somethings. Then you have those Devils at FoxNews, like Hannity, making sense and influencing so many. Gasp! Even some of the 20-somethings. Now, OMG, what is the MSM going to do? They ask themselves! LOL.

Now, let's see. I heard that a Hawk has been sighted recently. Yet, I can't seem to find them.

I'm looking for Darkwing. I haven't seen him much around the Canteen. I wonder if he's lost.
