My dear friend Mir is welcoming somebody we (the internet) only know as “Otto” to her home this weekend to, among other things, fix her vapor lock and seal her driveway.
*wink wink, nudge nudge, know-what-I-mean?*
Anyway, since Otto is a bit of a mystery, I thought it was high time somebody did a little digging to figure out just what he is like.
Of course, as anyone with limited knowledge and an internet connection will do, I (the self-appointed “somebody”) went straight to Google with the one thing I do know: he is called “Otto.”
Here’s what I’ve found, so far:
My first find for Otto indicates he may, indeed, be a working man of impeccable character and drive.
Then I stumbled across another Otto, and perhaps Mir has found herself an A-Vee-A-Tor. Although, from her description (“he smells good“) it makes a plastic blow up friend a little less likely. So, I press on.
Yet another Otto, this one has some promise. We all know that Mir is educated, beautiful, and talented and also loves to Toga and pour beer all over herself. This seems like a good match.
Finally, I ran across another Otto, and suddenly I have a whole new appreciation for “cleaning the gutters.” Or perhaps this is just the Otto that I might pick. Dunno.
So what do you, dear internets, think is the likely match for Mir? Care to add some others?
I received this (a variant, actually) by email today:
A priest, who wanted to raise money for his church, was told there was a fortune in horse racing, and so he decided to buy a horse and enter it in some races. However, at the local auction, the going price for horses was so steep that he decided to buy a donkey instead. Although he had some doubts, the priest figured that he might as well enter the animal in a race just to see how it would do. To his surprise the donkey came in second.
The next day the headlines read: PRIEST’S ASS SHOWS
The priest was so pleased that he entered the animal in another race, and this time it won.
The headline read: PRIEST’S ASS OUT IN FRONT
The bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he ordered the priest not to enter the donkey in another race.
The new headline read: BISHOP SCRATCHES PRIEST’S ASS
This was too much for the bishop, and he ordered the priest to get rid of the animal. The priest gave the donkey to a nun in a nearby convent.
The next day the headline read: NUN HAS BEST ASS IN TOWN
The bishop fainted. He told the nun that she would have to dispose of the donkey. After several days, the nun finally sold the beast to a local farmer for $10.
The headline read: NUN PEDDLES ASS FOR TEN BUCKS
They buried the bishop the next day.
The new blockquote color (at least for now) is the Golden Gate Bridge international Orange.
