2 I rode my motorcycle out to Yuma on Sunday. It's about 400 miles roundtrip. After refueling, I went inside to purge fluids, and decided to have an ice cream cone. Total impulse purchase, but it was 80-some degrees, and I was wearing a full gortex riding suit. As I stood there licking my ice cream cone, an old lady came in. She looked at me with a superball ticket in her hand, and asked, "Is this your ticket?" I told her, "no honey, it's yours." Turns out she had five of six numbers, and the ticket was worth more money than the store could give her. When they told her to log in on the web and all the instructions would be there, she responded that she didn't know how to do that. She was clearly addled. At this point, the epiphany struck. We all get everything we want, only not at the time in life when we can/could use it. Guess it's the same for pigs.

3 I was listening to the White Album on the way to work this morning. Some piggies are more equal than others.

1 Heh! When I got the genie out of the lamp, I only got one wish! Since I pretty much have everything that I could want, I told the genie that I've always wanted to visit Hawaii, but boats make me seasick, and I'm afraid to fly, but if I could drive to Hawaii, that would be great. Well the genie started to welch on me. He told me that the ocean is really deep out there, and it's a really long way, and he asked me if there wasn't something else that could make me happy? I thought for a minute, and it hit me. Why yes there was. You see, all my life, I've never understood women, how they think, what their motivations are, why they cry at the oddest times. If I could understand women, that would make me happy. The genie thought for a few minutes, then asked, "How many lanes do you want?"

2 What would your three wished be, and over what timespan would you assume they would be active?

3 This is the first time I have ever thought of Chinese cheese. Now oranges, that's another matter (ain't Wednesday poetry day around here?).

5 LMAO, oh, two months to go, and NOW you get tough. I'm going to start calling you Dubyah. Besides, that was damned funny, lol, a boy named Sue. Who ever heard of such a thing? LMAO

1 Heh, you're getting funnier! Are there going to be more pork pulling jokes, or are you headed down the chicken choking route?

2 Lemme guess...the pig picks up a lamp that is filled with newspaper - Danish cartoons soaked in alcohol. I'll nominate *you* for a Nobel Peace Prize...

3 I don't like where this is going Annie.... Over and out, X

4 Dear Mr. Casca, I've always been partial to "waxing the dolphin". I mean not actually waxing the dolphin myself, but you know using the term. Although, I've been out on sortie many a times and it does get lonely, but I'm not admitting anything. Beating the Bishop, thats a good one too! Over and out again, X

5 Waxing the dolphin??... No matter how hard I try, any attempt to regard that in an off color sense gets erased by a mental image of someone with an electric buffer by the side of a pool, powerbuffing a Tursiops truncatus. Now "Beating the Bishop": That I can picture as self-flagellation.

6 Is the author implicitly referring to the narrator in first person?
