Crazy from the heat
Clearly, the triple digits this week have turned all your brains to mush. (I, of course, am impervious as my brain has been mush for a long time)
Reporters are nearly dropping like flies with heat malaise and those of us toughing it out are just plain silly. The refined, button down-shirted JB even devolved to giggles reading the comment on this blog, “And now I gotta go. Why? ‘Cause crack don’t smoke itself!”
Apparently JB’s silly fever lasted into the night and infected the dinner conversation of he and his girlfriend. JB decided crack is hilarious (see, I’m not the only one who finds hard drugs amusing) and that there should be a new business catch phrase — “Sometimes you just gotta smoke the crack.”
i.e. — sometimes you’ve just gotta make the hard, risky, possibly dangerous and stupid decision. Q— “Should we go to war in Iraq?” A—“Hey, sometimes you’ve just gotta smoke the crack.”
There has also been some humorous mention of Pepto Bismol bottles around here (who’s been reading the news and gets that reference?)
And as for you guys, ummm … you’re nuts. I have no idea what the wives tales are about eating ice or popping bubble wrap. I’d love to be clued in, unless you plan on doing so with another reference that I don’t get. And I don’t know what the rest of you are talking about either, though I think it’s quite possible that some of you are experiencing dementia due to heat stroke. Please get help. I’m worried about you :)
P.S. for the guy last week who thought I should be stung, I know that’s probably supposed to be a dig, but I find myself strangely flattered. (Maybe I’m not impervious to the mercury fueled madness.)
