Simon and Garfunkel

Saw a CD at Sanity of S & G greatest hits and
asked Kath to get it for me for Xmas. I bought
it and paid for it and ONE DAY she will give me
back the money!

I was listening to it the other day and noted FOR
THE FIRST TIME the lyrics to "Keep the Customer
Satisfied" that go
"I hear words I never heard in the bible"
wherein actual fact it should be:-
"I hear words I never READ in the bible"

A Hard Two Weeks

Robert Barret, then Bryce Courntrny and finally Larry
Hagman all dying of cancer.

A sad time for all their family and friends and a great
loss to the literary and film world.

"House Husbands"

I enjoy this show, but really they should keep it real!
In the last episode, one set of parents are called to
the school and interviewed by the headmistress BECAUSE
THEIR CHILD HAS HEAD LICE!!!!! Not only that but when
the parents say they will take her home, the headmistress
informs them that THE NURSE TREATED THE CHILD AND SHE
IS FINE TO STAY!!!!

In all my years as a child, teacher, parent and now a
grandparent, I have NEVER heard of a head mistress taking
the time to interview parents re head lice, usually a note
is sent home with the child and they have to stay home at
least for the next day while the parents treat the hair.
As for a nurse EVER treating the child NO WAY. The expense
for one thing would be more than most schools could handle,
ever most private schools!

On top of which THE NURSE is usally not a 'school' nurse.
What schools can afford a full time nurse? (PRIVATE) and I
don't think the parents of these children are sending them
to private school. The nurse usually comes from the council!

Don't any of the writers have children who have had head lice?

Bones

I don't know if it was my faulty interpertation of
the words or it is what Bones really said but in the
last episode I saw Bones was explaining to the interns
why there was a corpse on the table with a chainsaw in
his middle.

"He was just a foolish man trying to juggle a chainsaw,
a tennis ball and a JARVAPP and drinking too much."

I replayed this SIX times and I still could not make out
what was said it still sounded like JARVAPP, whatever
that is!!!

Big Bang Theory "The Red Chair" episode.

I watched this for the second time the other night
and for the first time I noticed that there was no
tear, rip, gap or any hole whatsoever in the seat
cushion on that chair so my question was how did
the 'THING' that bit Amy on the bottom, which we
saw crawling across the cushion when she got up,
get to the back of the chair which is were we saw
it when Howard and Raj saw the chair on the sidewalk
and took it up to Seldon and Leonard's flat.

It got me wondering, as Seldon had said it was a lovely
comfy chair worthy of the name CHAIR. It looked very
clean and new and I though how much did it cost $500??
So if I bought a chair and suddednly something bit me
what would I do?
A. Take it back to the store I bought it from and
demand a replacement or my money back
OR
B. Throw it out on the sidewalk?

The most logical answer of course is A. but then we
would not have had that funny episode!!
