Something that makes me unhappy: The fact that my neighborhood gas station increased its price for regular unleaded from $2.78/gallon to $2.92/gallon over the course of six days.

Something that makes me happy: The fact that I write for a daily publication that would print this actual quote from an important person in the radio industry: “Have you ever seen a horse piss? It’s like a garden hose on full blast for three minutes! Most of the wiring runs underneath the studios.... Do you want to explain the corrosive properties of horse urine to the engineering department?”

How many times do I have to insist that despite my (alleged) intelligence, big & dumb stuff can send me into hysterical laughter?
