Stoner Moment

[Brandon]

The thing is.. I've never done any sort of illicit substances, so I really don't have a reason for acting this way. It just happens sometimes.

I was watching TV and saw a lil blurb on the Hoover dam, and how Lake Mead holds some 9 trillion gallons of water. Well, this reminded me of when I was estimating how much water was in the bays here, and I realized my initial estimate was likely quite a bit off.

Thrilled with my new discovery, I figured I'd go share it with my wife.

The conversation went something like this:

"So, remember when I was talking about how much water is in the bay? And I thought it was like billions of gallons? I think its at least hundreds of billions of gallons... or maybe even trillions of gallons... there's a lot of water in the ocean."

She doesn't skip a beat...

"So that's it eh? That's what you came in to tell me? There's lots of water in the ocean?"

"Erm... yeah"

"Profound sweetheart... profound"

"Shuttup!"

It sounded a lot more intelligent in my head before I said it.

Stuff like this has to happen to other people too...

On a related note, my wife likes to talk using indefinite pronouns and to change topics so a conversation might go like this:

Her: I talked to Sue today. She's in the hospital, in really bad shape.

Me: I guess I'd better cancel golf with Bill tomorrow.

Her: Why?

Me: Because Sue is in the hospital and he'd probably rather be with her.

Her: No. Sue's not in the hospital—her mom's in the hospital.

Me: Oh.

Her: So, when do we want to go?

Me: What do you think?

Her: How about the end of August?

Me: August? Its the end of April. Don't you think that if we're going to visit Sue's mom in the hospital we should do it sort of soon?

Her: That, yeah. I was talking about when we go to Mexico for vacation?

Me: Oh. The end of August sounds good.

Her: That was pretty stupid.

Me: Don't call me stupid. You're the one who changed topics.

Her: Not you. Sue's mom. Olld women should not be using chain saws.

Me: Sue's mom was hurt using a chain saw?!?

Her: No. She had a stroke. I was talking about the old woman on I read about in the newspaper this morning.

Me: I need an asperin.

Her: They're at the hospital.

Me: What? We don't have any asperin?

Her: No, Sue and Bill.

As far as water in the bay, Here is something i read:

The oceans contain 139 million cubic miles of water, with an average depth of 12,230 feet.

That's hiliarious

That there's lots of water in the ocean?

No silly. Indefinite pronouns and changing topics.

Who needs linear thinkers?

 

[irishsquid]

Sounds of a deep inhale. Then cough, cough, choke. "Here..."
