Random Ramblings #9

My friend Lou was leaving a comment on a blog the other day and the word verification was:

ARSNIF

Say it out loud.

My friend Calla, whom I know in real life, left a comment on a previous post that said:

My heart is crying :(
(so much as one can without tear ducts etc)

On reading this, I spend the next five minutes trying to remember if I'd ever seen her cry. I think I have. This was perplexing because without tear ducts one cannot cry. Then I realised that hearts have no tear ducts and it was to this, and not herself, that she alluded. I felt very silly. Then laughed.

We had two rotten eggs that had to be disposed of. Rather than put them in the kitchen bin and risk them breaking and smelling all over the place, Dad put them into a plastic bag to put in the bin outside. Being the ever-present force of hilarity that he is, he tied the bag in such a way that it looked like a scrotum. He was telling me this and for a second I thought the word "scrotum" referred to each testicle and not the entire scrotumatory package. I said to him "two scrotums hey.... is that scrota? You know, like the plural for bacterium is bacteria." The look on his face was priceless.

Lastly, if anyone has requests for pictures to accompany posts, send them my way... I'm running out of ideas.
