Batsh*t in Nelson, the gateway, his sister, meeting her, he's warned me, she quickly drops word of her personal relationship with Jesus, which she seems to have adopted merely to raise herself above any suspicion, a common church trick, she manages Batsh*t's pension cheques, has him on a $10 a week allowance, I figure it all out pretty quick, am joking with him that she'll in the end never give him the key to his new place, that she'll break his legs and keep him in bed feeding him from her abundance of ready-to-expire food bank donations and reading to him the bible, one of those people that forever mean well but do only harm, he can't stand her but has to shut up while he's at her place, and you begin to understand him a bit better, the bullshit, it's spread a lot thinner now, and you realize that all things told he's probably the sanest one in his family...

Perusing the thrift shops when I come across a coffee mug and I have a flash of inspiration...
It's not just a coffee mug, why, it's not a coffee mug at all!
It's an engagement ring!!! That also holds coffee....
Function and beauty...much better than the old engagement rings that merely advertised vulgar bad taste, why, add a few rhinestones and a Starbucks card and you've got a wedding that I could afford...
Deposit Slip Swatting

I remembered this the other day, a conversation about banks and deposit slips, and I remembered how when I was young a friend of mine and I would pop over to the local bank and while making our own withdrawals or deposits would fill in the back of the deposit slips with notes like "This is a stickup. This is not a joke. Put the money into a bag..." or some such, return the deposit slips to the unused pile, and laugh and joke and imagine what would happen if somehow one suddenly slipped past, a customer didn't check the back of a slip...
...and one day it did happen, our bank, surrounded, they determined it to be a "hoax" but we got wise, stopped doing it, it was a lot less funny when there was a chance someone might get hurt...
