      • looking up, I noticed I was late
      • (puff, pant)
      • attempt to hide girrafe and unicycle under the green lurex boob tube. Only giraffe will fit
      • ride down underground escalator on unicycle while trying to calm frightened girrafe concealed in boob tube.

      • not for the giraffe, for me.

          GrrlScientist is here at the next table in the RI cafeteria. She sends a big smoochy one and says that if you don’t get in touch she’ll make rude remarks about your butt (don’t shoot me, I’m only the messenger).

          By the way, did Ben’s comment about giraffes with erections mean anything? He surely didn’t mean girrafes, but just checking.

          I must say I woke up momentarily at that point, but when I realized that he meant ‘giraffes’ rather than ‘girrafes’, I went back to sleep.
