Morning & stuff.

I've stretched the limits of the snooze button feature on my alarm clock, and if I want to do that, I might as well lay out the clothes beforehand, because otherwise I'm not going to be dressed quite in time.

It's definitely allergy time again. Ten sneezes in a row in the computer lab is not my idea of a fun morning. I'm glad I keep a handkerchief on me these days.

Right now this is theoretically lab. I suppose I should theoretically open up the page I'm supposed to be working on.

My memories of chronology are a funny thing. FatherSir mentioned the large file of jokes that Guide Dog Aunt had sent around, some of them worse than others. I said that when those things that she sent amused me, I put them in my online journal, rather than filling up the inboxes of my friends. And that's when FatherSir started going into details about this journal. I'd deliberately sent him a link to my more work-safe journal at one point...

The best of the jokes from the latest of the Guide Dog Aunt's forwards (forwards without the content scraped out of the attachments, I might note, which is to say that they're huge and have unnecessary attachments) is this, which I include especially for [livejournal.com profile] kellinator:
What's the difference between a northern fairytale and a southern fairytale?
.....A northern fairytale begins "Once upon a time..." A southern fairytale begins "Y'all ain't gonna believe this shit..."

[livejournal.com profile] galoot uses that comparison for fairytale vs. Navy sea-stories.

*nods* I really must get him to type up some of those sometime. The seabat one is classic. And, apparently, oft-repeated on more than one ship. *giggle*

OK, this isn't exactly like Galoot's story, but I found a similar one. Scroll down to Raymond Spann's message, Subject: Remembering The USS Putnam, Date: Sat, 08 Apr 2000 15:15:57 -0400.
