Overheard at the Gym
Shaun L. provides the following story:
Physical Trainer: You gotta have a healthy breakfast man! This morning I had 6 egg whites, a protein shake, and a bowl of oatmeal. What’d you have for breakfast?
Heavy-set man: I had a Coolata.
Physical Trainer: A Coolata?!?! YOU GOTTA COOLATA THAT!!!
Classic.
Few can ruin a joke like Mr. Ryan Schenk.
I pass on a joke I’d heard from Kevin and Theresa…
Mike D: RYAN SCHENK!
Ryan: Yo.
Mike D: What’s orange… and sounds like a parrot?
Ryan: Pyrilia aurantiocephala
Mike D: oh.
Insomnia explained
March 20th. 12:40am. Mike D sits drearily in bed bathed in the light from his computer monitor. The room is otherwise dark.
Ryan: MIKE D! What are you doing up so late?!
Mike D: I can’t sleep
Ryan: aw man, that happens to me sometimes. Sometimes I get all worked up about how I’m not sleeping, and it just makes me not sleep even more.
Mike D: Yeah, that’s usually what happens to me too.
Ryan: Did you know that I have chronic insomnia?
Mike D: I did not know this.
Ryan: It’s true. I don’t sleep very well. I never have, since I was about 3 (according to my mom).
Mike D: I feel your pain. This stinks.
Ryan: Ruth thinks it’s my karmatic payment for being so awesome
Mike D: ha ha ha ha ha
30 min later….
Mike D: Ugh, Sarah I can’t sleep.
Sarah: aww Mike D. That stinks
Mike D: yeah. I hate it when this happens.
Sarah: Why can’t you sleep?
Mike D: I have no idea.
Sarah: Maybe it’s nature’s way of balancing the fact that you’re so awesome during the day.
And there you have it folks! Insomnia explained through two independently developed theories.
