At the 7-11 with an Indian clerk yesterday.

"Carton of Marlboro Box, please." I silently gesture a long carton
shape to him, to distinguish it from the size of a single pack.

"Cardon?" he asks me with an appealing look.

"Yes - a carton." I repeat the gesture, just to be helpful. I point over
his shoulder at where I see the cartons are stacked, since I know the packs
are between us, under the counter in front of him.

"Oh, Cardon yes!" He reaches under the counter and slaps a pack down
in front of me. "Any Ting else?" expectantly, like an enthusiastic puppy.

"I want a Carton. Not a pack," (I point to it) "but a carton."
I repeat the two gestures close to his face.

"Cardon" he shouts at me, as if I had committed some grievous error,
and the carton is now here. "Dass dventy deventy doo."

"Have they gone up?" I ask him.

"Dventy deventy doo."

I give him the money.

"Dventy deventy doo."

"How much are they, by the way?"

"Dventy deventy doo."

By this time I'm out of the door.

I consider a rerun but decide against it, detecting a surge of homicidal
rage at a level that might have caused problems for everybody.

[Simple-minded description of ethanol's effect on the brain deleted.]

You are so full of shit.  You think we're stupid?  Most of us took
freshman chemistry, hotshot.

It just so happens that the EtOH valence bonds draw off some of your 
brain's free electrons.  Not much, but enough to create a small net 
positive charge in the neural pathways of your cerebrum.  The cerebral
cortex and limbic system act as a capacitor, until electrons are able
to bridge the gap.  The resulting radial current loop is responsible 
for impaired motor function and the sensation we know as "drunkenness."

The mechanism(s) responsible for hangovers are less well understood, 
but are thought to involve the spontaneous decay of carbon nuclei.

Today I read a story by a gentleman named David Kirkpatrick.  I've met him in
person, a couple of years ago, and he's a)a great fan of James Joyce, and b)an
incredibly irritating person to talk to, because he has some kind of speech
impediment which makes it nearly impossible to talk faster than ten words a
minute.

His writing, though, would make Gooley weep with joy.

Critical difference:  this person is trying to be funny (though
failing miserably).  Joachim was proud of the fact that s/he was
writing about nothing, for his/her own purposes (was Joachim a 
male or a female?).  Anyway, I found Joachim fascinating, in a

Excuse me?

    I don't know what kind of mutant axolotls you have up there in the
lab, Herr Doktor X, but axolotls in my universe don't have brains.
They're a sort of slimiy missing link between vertebrates and
invertebrates, lacking any nervous system more complex than a
rudimentary notocord.

I think perhaps what you mean to write was:

a couple of nights ago i heard what i thought was a joke on the radio
station. it was an advertisement for the 'mormon diet'. they say you can
eat all you want and not gain, but lose, weight! what the hell. either
they are counting on celestial intervention (this would not be surprising)
or they are allowed to eat all they want as long as it's cabbage and
carrots. they also have a mormon cook book. order now before it's too
late!

We tried something like this, but on a level more suited to drywall hangers.
We used a three-digit number, with the first digit denoting the number of
the guy in the stack, the second digit being odd for a left cut or even for
a right cut, and the third number being meaningless.  So I bring the disc
up to the line, and call out "666!"  The designated cutter just stood there,
and shouted, "Are you a satanist?  You're going to burn in hell for that!
I'm not cutting to that!".  Etc, etc.

He didn't like "747", either.
