Small Talk is Dangerous

A best friend of mine started responding similarly to "Good Morning" greetings back in high school. He'd add, "Are telling me it is a good morning? You're wrong! Are you asking me to have a good morning? What if I don't want to?" etc. So, one day when I was getting ready to leave for a band competition around 4:30am in the school parking lot, and he was there dropping off a fellow band member, I said to him, "Pre-dawn, M." He thought for a brief second before smiling and responding in kind. :-)

Marten's reasoning is similar to mine.
My brain is a weird enough place. I've long been curious about and somewhat fascinated by LSD, but I'm afraid of it, mainly because I know what I can conjure up in my brain without help. :-)

A friend of mine who was a prof when I was at IUPUI as an undergrad (and is now a vice-chancellor) used to say that as one advanced through education toward a PhD, "You learn more and more about less and less, until eventually you know everything about nothing." :-)

ION, I was highly amused while checking in for tomorrow morning's flights at Delta's web site, when I clicked on a link to go to a TSA page to verify the liquids in carry-ons regulations, and IE returned this:
This website does not have a valid security certificate.

This is one of my favorites so far.
And this one.
Okay, that's enough. Back to work for me.
