Caterwauling

It’s rare lately that I even see, let alone experience, random kindnesses. But I just did. And I’m still a little stunned.

It’s no big deal, really. I just decided to grab a donut at Krispy Kreme (mmm, chocolate-iced, kreme-filled) and I paid for it. But I had been hoping for some sort of holiday-themed donut instead of my usual. And after I’d paid, I saw the sign for pumpkin spice donuts. Mmm, punkin. …

So I asked the girl if I could add two donuts to my bag. She said sure and gave them to me and walked away. I held up my money and said, “How much was that?” and she smiled and said, “Don’t worry. Enjoy.”

And at that moment, I smiled at her and said to myself, “I wonder if this is because I gave that homeless woman those bills that I’d had tucked above my sunvisor today.”

I don’t know — I’ve always believed that bad things come to those who deserve it. But perhaps it works on the small-scale kindness level, too.

In any event, that punkin donut? The best I’ve ever tasted. 😉

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued a warning about a new virulent strain of Sexually Transmitted Disease. The disease is contracted through dangerous and high-risk behavior.

The disease is called Gonorrhea Lectim and pronounced “gonna re-elect him.” Many victims contracted it in 2004, after having been screwed for the past four years. Cognitive characteristics of individuals infected include: anti-social personality disorders, delusions of grandeur with messianic overtones, extreme cognitive dissonance, inability to incorporate new information, pronounced xenophobia and paranoia, inability to accept responsibility for own actions, cowardice masked by misplaced bravado, uncontrolled facial smirking, ignorance of geography and history, tendencies towards evangelical theocracy, categorical all-or-nothing behavior.

Naturalists and epidemiologists are amazed at how this destructive disease originated only a few years ago from a bush found in Texas.

Thanks to D2 for the giggle!
