Blonde Joke

There's this blonde out for a walk. She comes to a river and sees another blonde on the opposite bank.

"Yoo hoo!" she shouts. "How can I get to the other side?"

The second blonde looks up the river then down the river and shouts back "You ARE on the other side!"

(Thank you for the joke, Aunt Max)

Frack Me!

I blame it on the dramatically sudden and remarkably unexpected road closure.

Today while driving my parents to lunch, I let the F-bomb slip. In the FCC-approved language of Battlestar Galactica, I believe the expletive I used was a bitter "Frack me!".

Obviously, the ease with which it escaped my lips indicates that it wasn't the first time the F-bomb has been uttered by me. But I do believe this was the first time my parents were forced to bear witness. They took it graciously, though. I almost immediately issued an embarrassed apology. My mom responded, ever so sweetly, from the backseat with "Oh, honey, that's all right".

I guess no harm was done, but still.... Oops!
