Virgin Mary on the Dash

I saw a five-inch-tall statue of the Virgin Mary, Mother of God, sitting on an F-150’s dashboard.

Do you think her presence prevents road rage? Does the driver say a rosary to the Ascended Mother if he submits to road rage?

Seems like a dangerous thing to do in traffic, her damning eyes be damned.

Productivity Shame

It is Sunday.

I decide “time to clean the kitchen.”

Then, I vacuum.

While vacuuming, I think “well, at least I did something productive this weekend.”

I take a beat, and realize: I did way too much adult shit on Saturday. Nothing primal, though. Sorry for robbing you of that visual.

But there isn’t a tangible, physical trail of the evidence I did anything, outside of the carton of cherry tomatoes I scored at the farmers market.

The Workplace Deuce

A coworker has a ten-minute commute.

He takes a dump each day before heading home.

Why use the work toilet when the home toilet is ten minutes away?

One might use a last-minute work deuce to while away remaining minutes before 5 o’clock. That is the not the case in this situation.

My guess: he doesn’t want to punish his wife, so he punishes his coworkers instead.

Draft: Chewbacca taking selfies for cash

I have a lot of draft posts that remain in blog purgatory.

I thought it’d be fun to share a draft from time to time.

First up:

Chewbacca lives a healthy lifestyle, subsidized by autograph seekers. No alcohol or drug addiction.

Sad Face Paint

You know that guy who paints his face, and possibly his torso, for the big game?

I take sick satisfaction watching him get sad, realizing his team is about to lose.

At that moment, with his heart broken, he doesn’t remember that he’s painted. And then, he ends up on national TV with a sad face. The contrast is fantastic.

I don’t wish him ill. I just can’t stop chuckling at someone painted up, bearing a sad face.

Mouth Agape

A guy on the plane fell asleep with his noise-cancelling headphones on.

His mouth was wide open.

I thought about putting popcorn in it, but I didn’t have any popcorn.

Sports

It just happened again.

I went exterior.

I left my body.

I looked down on me from above the ceiling fan.

I observed me getting emotionally invested in adults throwing a ball around.
