Allow me to leave a comment almost completely about myself. You don't mind if I do? Excellent!
This is probably the most convincing pitch I've yet seen for me to start Twittering-- I can have great non-sequitur blog posts prewritten whenever I'm hard up!
Since you don't know me, I'll assure you that the above was not sarcastic at all. This was a funny post, and I would probably end up doing this myself about once a week or so.
Once I got going, I might degenerate into "funny comments I've left other people" and "funny items from my grocery list", to make sure no writing goes to waste when I'm really scraping the bottom of the barrel.
On second thought, maybe I'll not tempt fate.

Outstanding.
And it confirms my theory that this one lady who works in my office has an IQ score of -40.
I swear to god, the button is brighter than she is.

Oh, yes. Oh, very yes. Every time some moron tries that, I have to restrain myself from saying "Y'know, that doesn't make it come any faster".
(OK, sometimes I don't restrain myself)
So how intelligent am I if I stood in the elevatior for at least a minute before I realized I hadn't pushed any buttons and was going precisely nowhere?
Posted by: gtero on December 15, 2008 11:04 AMWell, I'm in the elevator with a lady who talks to herself all the time. We live on the same floor.
I pushed the button for 9th floor. She asks: are you going to the 9th? I say: yes, of course. I'm thinking: are you nuts we live on the same floor, we meet every day. She says: Ah, I thought you were that girl who I live on the same floor with. She pushes 8. I stare at her and realise: OMG, I live on the 8th.
IQ in the minus range.
