an origami "fortune-teller" device made out of paper - a favorite among girls around 6th grade or so, but popular with all ages and genders.

To make a cootie-catcher, fold a paper square to form four "pyramids". The player opens and closes the pyramids with their index fingers and thumb, revealing different things (usually numbers or colors) on the inside surfaces.

The person who is having their "fortune" told chooses once, twice, or three times, and then the paper is unfolded to reveal a "fortune"

Jessica: "Wanna play cootie catcher? It'll tell you who your boyfriend is!"

Suzie: "Okay!"

Jessica: "Pick a number."

Suzie: "Okay- um - 4. Now - Red. Now 6. (unfolds cootie catcher message) Eeuuwww - I do NOT like Timmy Jones! Yuck!"

catch-22

Catch-22 is a famous anti-war novel written by Joseph Heller. In the book, a catch-22 refers to the law that allows soldiers to raid an Italian whorehouse. The very same law that gives them the right to make this intrusion also entitles them to conceal why they are raiding it in a first place, so the proprieter can never find out why it happened. This is compared to an earlier reference in the book, where a military policy requires that soldiers can only be discharged for insanity if they are both insane and ask for discharge. However, asking for discharge if you are insane is a sane act, so you cannot be insane. Therefore, getting a discharge for insanity is actually impossible.

A catch-22 is commonly misperceived to be a situation wherein both options are seen to have negative consequences. That situation is actually called a double-edged sword. A catch-22, as in the examples above, is a situation wherein the solution to a problem is impossible given the very nature of the problem.

My university has asked me to transfer because they expel anyone with a GPA under a 2.0, yet I cannot transfer because no other college will take an applicant with less than a 2.0! This policy is such a catch-22!

First catch of the day

The first pee in the morning. The first morning urine.

Pathologist: When was the last time you went to the toilet?
Me: At 6:00 this morning.
Pathologist: Your doctor ordered a urine test. Didn't he tell you not to empty your bladder for 2 hours prior to the test?
Me: Hmm I think he did ... but I forgot.
Pathologist: You can wait for another hour to empty your bladder or you can come back tomorrow morning?
Me: I'll come back tomorrow
Pathologist: We're open at 7:00 a.m. "First catch of the day" is always the best.... so take this vial home to use and just put it in the fridge if you can't come in straight away to drop it off.
