Nah. Then we'd all be too busy doing punishment for typos to participate in wonderful games like this.
Where is my black thread?

When animals were being created dogs selected B on question 149 of the "What features would you like" form. The question, I remind you, was "Would you like others to know you are asleep?"
Do you know for sure if you snore?

Only if Homeland Security has you under surveillance and you see the actual tapes they record of you sleeping.
Why would Homeland Security allow you to view your own surveillance tapes?

Because they're nice that way.
Wouldn't it be possible to set up a camcorder to tape yourself to see if you snore? (DH says I only snore "occasionally", though it seems to happen more often when I don't have a pillow)

Only if it made its way to the internet or the tv at a family reunion.
Is there such a thing as enough books?

Only if you have absolutly no more places to put them.
Why do certian books go out like crazy at the school library, but hardly go out at all at my library?

We are now that you've brought it back up.
So, um (trying to change the subject)... read any good books lately?

Well yeah.. I read the one about that guy who had a boil....then he went to the ocean in search of a cure...or was it a lake?...then he was sent a little blue box that had the whole galaxy.. then his boil burst.
Come on, you know the guy I am talking about. That story was so cool.
Did you read that book too?

I think your post got into the wrong thread.

Not unless you utter the age old incantation which the younger members of the human race seem to think will change climate conditions. The only modification you will need is to switch rain for fog - it works for the older members of the human race.
Does a change of topic always flow better after bringing up the weather?
