Someone sent me email this morning asking if I was available to talk. I told her I was just getting into the shower. She wrote back, "Call me when you get out of shower or before."
I am glad she gave me such explicit directions, because otherwise I would have called her during.
Next up: A Heloise-like tip about kitchen measurement conversion, a link to Family Circus, and an invitation to come over and watch me "scrapbook" while watching The View.
Waiting with bated breath to hear how many cubits are in a Tablespoon...
Domestically Challenged,
Kate
P.S. When I call people FROM the shower I use my hand phone (like a mime, though I am loathe to use the comparison). That sounds a tad risqué, but it's not. I don't talk on the PHONE on my grown-up TOYS.
Offered by: Kate on April 11, 2007 8:53 PMCalling her during your shower? Who does she think she is, expecting to call you while you wallow in sexual self-abuse with the pulsating shower-head, Kelly Ripa?
And for her knowledge, Jodi doesn't telephone Kelly while in the shower: She obeys Ms. Ripa's every deviant command in person, thank you very much...
"Yes, Mistress Ripa, I love tracing your taint with the tip of my tongue..."
Offered by: Thomas on April 11, 2007 2:34 PMYou know how people say or write things like, "You made me laugh out loud"? (Or, more typically, they type "LOL!" But don't get me started on that.) Of course, they don't pause to think about their choice of words or else they would realize that, if you're not laughing out loud, then you're not really laughing, are you? You're probably just smirking. Or looking deranged.
Oh dear, I digressed. Anyway, my point (yes, I have one; why do you ask?) is that reading this made me laugh—yes, out loud—for the first time today.
Offered by: Jeffrey on April 11, 2007 12:41 PMYou interrupted my marathon of Reader's Digest condensed classic Zane Grey western's for this?
I was just at the riveting point where they were driving the final golden spike into the trancontinental railroad! Now I'll never know how it turns out...
I'm going to have to write Dear Abby an editorial about the rudeness of showering Jews and the faux pas when it comes to phone ettiquette.
