Humor: Life

     People are always trying to fit in. The other day I saw an elderly man tooling around in a low-rider he had a nose ring and was jamming out to metallica. Guess the base was more for show as he adjusted his hearing aid several times. People are always trying to fit in. My grandmother uses this new electronic mail thingy. She was having some difficulty getting an attachment to load and called me to assist. When I arrived, She had an entire photo album ducktaped to her computer tower. She claimed the error box kept kicking up and saying, "Attachment not found, do you want to look for it."


     My grandmother doesn't own, or didn't own, a digital camera. She wanted to send pictures of her cat to one of her bingo friends, and proceeded, right in front of me, to load the cat into the fax machine. Startled at this, I quickly retrieved the cat and explained to her the value of taking pictures digitally. She seemed to understand. However, one day, I received a rather disturbing phone call. It would appear that the digital camera had run out of film. As it would happen, grandma completely dismantled the helpless device in search of the roller for the film.
     People aren't the only ones with the urge to fit in. I had a dog a while ago that would lick the external outlets. After the obvious smoldering of hair and passing out, he was right back at it. I guess that's the way it is. These are all stories from my brain...completely fictional. The funny thing is, they have the propensity to actually happen.
