::I Heard Something Today, and my Head Damn Near EXPLODED!!!::
Imagine this: You're on break at work, minding your own business. You go through your usual routine: get a bag of something out of the vending machine, get some free coffee, add condiments to your taste, find a seat and read the newspaper. Of course the big news is operation Iraqi Freedom. The headline on the San Diego Union Tribune reads, "The Deadliest day in Iraq Yet", and you're all caught up in the midst of news about a suspected chemical plant getting seized, then you hear something sooooo out of place and doesn't make the least bit of sense that you want to yell, "WHAT THE HELL?!?" I look up and there's a guy on his cell phone, and he was acting like what he said was part of a typical conversation. Like if he asked how someone's mother was doing. I couldn't believe what he had said just like a second earlier. It was so ridiculous sounding to any person outside of the conversation. I looked around the break room and me and another girl exchange those "what in the world is that?" glances. I'm sure you all would like me to share, I heard, "If it wasn't for the war, my dog wouldn't have been spayed. No, she doesn't go outside. She's a house dog." I swear to you that I was just dumbstruck by those comments. What could the war possibly mean to this man to only have his dog spayed because of it? It bothered me all day long because I really wanted to try and make some sense of it. I thought about it so much that I was like there's has to be something...anything logical behind it. I made up all types of scenarios like maybe the war triggered something else in his memory or whatever to make him make sure that his dog got spayed. The next thought that came to me seemed to make more sense. I thought that because of the overflow in shelters may be he didn't want his dog to get impregnated by a stray. Then I was like, no that's not it, he said his dog stays inside. After I gave up trying to decipher idiot, I was like oh my goodness. I don't know if you all saw Lewis Black's first television special on Comedy Central, but he was talking about how he heard a girl say, "If it wasn't for my horse, I wouldn't have spent that year in college". Then it hit me, I just had one of those experiences. It doesn't matter how much you try to make sense of it, some people are just that stupid. Well, now that I've got that out of my system. I can use my brain power for things that actually make sense. I just thought everyone could use a pick me up considering what's going on right now. Thanks for stopping by.
Random Blurb: There is no such thing as a stupid question, only stupid people (as demonstrated by above).
