…but the post office managed to do it.

On Tuesday, while I was roofing, my fellow roofers and I saw a strange sight. These two dogs wandered over to the house that we were working on, and they nonchalantly began copulating. At some point during the act, the male got himself turned around so that he was standing butt-to-butt with the female. However, this was problematic because they were still in the middle of intercourse, and they were now stuck together. They tried as hard as they could to pull away from each other, but that proved physically impossible. All they managed to do was to pull each other around the yard. Eventually, the male was able to settle down enough that separation became possible, and they both seemed rather relieved to do so. It was rather humorous to watch, but, ouch, that had to be uncomfortable.

What do you think? Is the image below proof that internet advertising has fallen on tough times?

Today, while studying, I decided to keep my computer occupied by having it update all the UNIXy stuff that I’ve installed through Fink. While glancing at the installer output in the terminal, I noticed the following line.

checking whether build environment is sane... yes

Well, it’s good to know that my computer, or at least my build environment (whatever that is!), is sane. There’s nothing worse than having an insane computer.

Have you seen that Odor-Eaters® commercial? You know, the one where this guy is sitting on a sofa at a party with two very beautiful women, and he’s so concerned about foot odor that he sticks his feet under the conveniently placed oriental rug despite the fact that he has his shoes on. However, when the scene is repeated with an Odor-Eaters® product in his shoes, he feels so comfortable about his feet that he flips one of his shoes off in front of the two beautiful women and catches it much to everyone’s amusement.

Okay, honesty, who would do that? If you’re at a party and have the attention of not one, but two beautiful women, even if your feet smell like flowers, you do not flip a shoe off! That’s just crazy.

Or have you seen that commercial where one of those cigarette vending machines is chasing some guy down the street, tempting him because he’s trying to give up smoking, or something like that? Now, when was the last time you saw a cigarette vending machine? I haven’t seen one of those since I was a little kid. Didn’t they outlaw them in the late 80’s or early 90’s?

Who thinks of this stuff?
