    Shopping at Good Will for a disguise to wear to the food bank! Not a science, but an art – maintaining dignity and an air of the indomitable human spirit while asking the checkout girl at the thrift store if they wash the clothes before they put them on the floor, knowing the answer is always no but wanting to appear like you’ve never done this before, and wouldn’t consider wearing a strangers’ donated apparel without washing it; fully realizing she thinks your cute and would love to go out with you, in your surprisingly high quality garments you were able to pick up for pennies on the dollar. She just doesn’t want to have to deal with “just waiting a few more days to see if the fever breaks and the bleeding stops before going to the ridiculously expensive emergency room. It’s nothing personal, and you can’t really blame her.

    It’s like my brother was telling me this evening…”there are plenty of woman out there… I explained that my real problem is that at this period in ky life, I couldn’t bring myself to date a woman who would want to date me. I mean really, I deserve better than that.

    I like your list. David Letterman and his snobbish minions are idiots.
