Donna’s thought for the month arrived this morning. It was, Everybody looks at their shit in the bowl before they flush. How simpatico with her recent studies into the finer points of English literature.
Liz rang today with her current agenda, that being that the trouble with the state of the environment is that there are too many people in the world. Maybe she’s right. We could of course fix all the problems with the environment within 15 minutes if we really wanted to. All you have to do is to get everyone in the world to hold their breath for that long. Presto. No more environmental problems (apart from the earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic explosions, hurricanes, cyclones, wind and water erosion, bush fires, meteorite strikes and ice ages, but at least they’d all be natural — let’s call them organic). I don’t think the government agrees though, or they wouldn’t keep offering baby bonuses.
Liz was also bitterly complaining that one of those new traffic cameras caught her looking at texts on her iPhone while she was stopped at some traffic lights and she’s been fined. I told her, well, she shouldn’t do it as it’s dangerous. She replied that of course it’s not if you’re stopped, but from now on she’s going to check her phone while she’s driving, away from cameras at traffic lights. That way she won’t get caught. I hope that idea doesn’t catch on. I don’t think that’s what the road safety mob are trying to encourage, but maybe they are.
Tomorrow, I have to start preparing for Friday’s colonoscopy. How exquisite. At least I might lose some weight.
