    Life Lessons Learned.

    What has life taught you?

    Riding the bus has taught me a few important lessons -- lessons I can apply to anything in life.

    1. Don't try asking the schizophrenic man what he's talking about.

    2. Look before you sit. I have come in contact with far more fecal matter in my lifetime than I'd like to recall.

    3. Dramatic stories about sitting in bus passenger fecal matter makes for great fun at parties. ...if you're at the right parties.

    Anybody learn anything lately?
    Well, maybe I WILL just keep telling myself that.

    Deep thoughts...

    1. Riding the bus taught me that I need a car.

    2. Having children taught me that the sun does not revolve around me.

    3. Visiting p.net taught me that you learn more when you listen.

      riding the bus...

      Riding the bus...

      well, one time I tried to ride the bus from ft lauderdale to orlando, but it was living hell trying to do so ( a. I didn't speak spanish and they couldn't speak english, french or italian b. the tickets I bought online 'didn't show up in the system' c. the bus was going to be two hours late). So I walked half a mile, rented a car and a few hours later, I was there. Lesson learned: fuck the bus.

        i got arrested in nebraska for having 5 or 6 joints on me... some mafia like guy on the bus gave em to me... i got woken up by four big mustached cops... taken out, searched, handcuffed. i asked the cop if he could ask the bus to wait as it was going to san frncisco and there was my girlfriend on the bus... he said sure... preached a while about the evils of drug use, handed me a fine and a court date... got on the bus... the mafia guy thanked me for not not ratting on him then gave me even more weed... lesson learned... don't rat on the mafia guy...

              The rest of life's daily problems seem a whole lot easier once you're tried jamming a knife down your esophagus.

                  Laughter Lesson Learned.

                  Today my director showed me how EVERYTHING is funny, when followed by a "spit-take".

                  "What are you guys talking about?" (takes a sip of coffee)
                  "My itchy sweater."
                  "PPPPPPPPFFFTTTT!!!!"

                  "How are you doing today?" (takes a sip of coffee)
                  "Well, my guinea just pig died."
                  "PPPPFFFFTTT!!!!"

                  I laughed hardily. My abs hurt.
                  Well, maybe I WILL just keep telling myself that.

                          Comedy Lesson Learned:

                          Monkeys are inherently funny, in and of themselves.

                          Whenever I get spam e-mails that say, "Want to make more money?" I almost always misread it as "Want to make more monkey?" and I usually open it to see how I can learn to make monkeys.
                          Well, maybe I WILL just keep telling myself that.

                            Yes

                            I forget about them. They aren't specificly looking for jugglers anymore anyway. We are too demanding in that we expect them to follow through on their promises. They are now hiring actors and training them how to juggle. The pay is now sallary of $450 per week (for up to 10 shows, plus driving etc.) They have to live in the foodplay apartment they aquired for $400 a month, and they have health insurance available to them at some unfair price. All this so they can maintain an office staff of about 6 and probably growing. I don't know why it takes an office staff of 6 to book a few shows.

                              maybe they're employing their family members.

                              what about "don't tell people you can eat 50 eggs "

                              that video is so funny
