I saw Bob and he told me about the concert next weekend so we went and got tickets. Later that girl from the gym called to tell me i left my watch at the counter, so I ran by and picked it up... and then we went to the book store and bought some books...

Dude, I totally stabbed that guy in his heart. I could easily get written up in the Book of Slaughter.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
