I’m a Dodohead
Posted on May 18, 2005 by Ching under School.
So I got a 115 out of a possible 120 on my Business Law final yesterday, despite having studied for the exam an hour before I was supposed to take it. I worked on my study guide on Sunday night and Monday night but never had time to actually read through it until I got home from work on Tuesday. I read through my study guide for like five minutes and told Brian to quiz me. I was so totally clueless that Brian was almost concerned.
“What types of claims does Social Security cover?”
“Ummm.. Old age.. Disability.. And something else.”
Brian does this airplane thing with his hand complete with crashing sound effects.
“What are you doing?”
“Giving you a clue.”
“And?”
“We watch it every Thursday.”
“CSI?” I asked with a perplexed look on my face. Like, what the hell does CSI have to do with Social Security?
“Survivors!” He exclaims rolling his eyes.
“Oh, duh?! That makes sense! Social Security covers three types of claims: old age, survivors and disability. I get it.”
At this point he thinks I am hopeless. And I’m thinking maybe he is right.
“What year was Title VII of the Civil Rights Act passed?”
“He’s not going to ask that.”
“He might.”
“Trust me. He won’t.”
“Give me the year.”
“I don’t know it.”
“You should. It protects you.”
“Well, I know the ADEA was passed in 1967 and the ADA, which protects you, was passed in 1991.”
I didn’t mean to insult him, but he was frustrating me. I didn’t really mean to insult him. I was trying to be funny. Anyway, we both busted up laughing. That’s what makes us so compatible. Brian is probably the only person in this world who gets me. I’m glad that he laughs at my jokes because if doesn’t, no one will.
So I decided to break down and finally share the stupid remark I said at the KANSEL fundraiser. The trivia question was “Elvis had a concert in which foreign country?” Our choices were Mexico, Canada, and Germany. Everyone at the table was rooting for Germany.
You know how I have a knack for saying the dumbest things. I go, “Did they even have planes back then?”
Jackie goes, “What’s wrong with you child?” She’s an older lady, so just picture her saying that. It was hilarious! Brian and I, who are used to my verbal diarrhea both cracked up.
Puhleeeze! I knew they had airplanes back then. The true question is, could he even fit in one? There is no way a plane could transport him all the way to Germany. But then I guess that all depends what era of Elvis’s life we are talking about.
At any rate, the answer was Canada.
So feel free to think I’m an idiot, you all. It’s cool. I’m used to it. I just can’t help the things that come out of my mouth sometimes (or the things that go in for that matter, lol).
Do I need to remind you all of the time that I said “Will you eat my biscuit?” and totally meant it in a non-sexual way? And then last Saturday, when Vinny (the chemical engineer) commented on how I had been rubbing Brian’s eyebrows for several minutes and that the hair would probably fall out soon, I declared to everyone who cared to listen that I liked rubbing things.
The verbal diarrhea is really becoming a problem. I should just try to keep my mouth shut from now on because there’s no telling what will come out of it next. … P.S. Bunz, Jen beat you to the last movie quote. P.P.S. I’m linking to Jen’s Flickr album instead of crankymonkey.com because the site is still down.
