Old & Dumb? Not!



Feeling my age...not!

For the past week I have been feeling a little bit more run down than normal. I just attributed it to getting older.

Then I went to make a pot of coffee at work. I noticed there was only decaffeinated coffee.

"Where's the loaded coffee," I yelled.

"We're out. We've been out for a week. We've been making the decaf stuff and you didn't even notice." someone yelled back laughing.

That explains it. I'm not getting old, they're just sneaky bastards.



Stupid is as stupid does

Yesterday morning I opened a bottle I was pretty sure contained chlorine tablets but the label had fallen off. I looked down into the bottle for a second and it looked like chlorine tablets. Even though it couldn't have been anything other than chlorine tablets I decided to take a sniff.

After throwing up and seriously wondering if my throat was going to close up and I would require a tracheotomy to breath, I managed to get back into the house. As I stood over the sink hacking up my chlorine gas filled lungs. The Wife walked in.

What's wrong?

I sniffed *cough* some *hack* chlorine. *cough*

Well that was just stupid.

I had a doozy of a comeback but I couldn't get it out before she left the room. How dare her call me stupid!



Although, it really was stupid.

Decaf coffee indeed!?!

Exactly! Like alcohol free beer, what's the point?

If it can't pry my eyes open in the morning, it's not coffee.

I have to admit that I probably would have sniffed the bottle of pucks, too. I like to think I wouldn't have taken a snootful, though. ;-)

hehehehe :) its a natural instinct to taste/smell something if you're not sure of it's identity. :/ Like when sometimes you see a crumb on the kitchen worktop, taste it and realise it's not bread :(

LOL.

Thank you, thank you for being a regular human being!

Sorry about the chlorine... but I've done the EXACT same thing - without the self awareness!

LOL
