High Occupancy

Just saw this pic of Darren Wackhead Simpson ( from Laugh Out Loud & Highveld) putting the High Occupancy lane between Jozi and Pretoria to the test. Apparently he got pulled over and fined for talking on his phone but no-one seemed too perturbed by "Caprice" and "Debbie".

Not sure why this should qualify as 'High Occupancy'. Is it possibly because they kept him very occupied the previous night??? Maybe he spent a fair amount of time occupying them??

African Pret-a-Porter

So, do you think that Madonna is going to totally americanize this young kid she has adopted from Malawi, or is she going to make sure that he learns about and retains some of his African heritage.


I'm think that this 'adopt a third world kid' may well just be a fashionable activity.
If thats the case, it's quite sad. African babies become Hollywood fashion accessories.

That's it, I'm moving.

What a great street address to have, imagine reading the postal address to your house.
Lucky this would be snail mail, not email else some cyber nanny spam filter would block all you post.


Conversation:


'So buddy, where do you stay?'

'Fuckhoff'

'No seriously'

'Seriously, Fuckhoff'

'Well fuck you too'

'Asshole!'

Stop screwing around!

Why is it that when you look for tools your can never find them, the only screwdriver your can find is a philips head when you're looking for a flat.
Now this may not seem strange to you, but when you have previously gone to great lengths to ensure that these items are kept in the correct place, you have to ask yourself : Have the gremlins opened a road side workshop using my stash of tools??? and who the hell left a stethascope in the tool box??
I hope the party was really that good, or else some doctor is using the soldering iron to repair some patient who's circuitry needs repair. Dude, come back, you forgot the solder???

Bored Stiff

I'm sure we've all endured those times when all you want to do is escape the sheer boredom of the conversation you are trapped in but circumstance or etiquette do not allow.
-Be it the office meeting divulging corporate strategy and its relation to current market trends
-The braai companion who has recently made their debut as parent and feels the need to share each little moment and soiled nappy they have experience thus far
-The passenger in seat 15E who attempts to overcome their fear of flying be maintaining a constant chatter with you, the prisoner in 15F
-The drunk sod spilling his lifes ambitions and consistant disappointments while you attempt to quietly sip your whiskey and unwind from the day.

Sometimes there's just no escape, you wish your phone would ring or someone would set the place on fire, anything just to make the torture end.

I think that this is one of lifes little lessons, an exercise in patience, restraint and a practical lesson in meditative comtemplation of 'shut the fuck up'
