Comets

I saw a quote on a forum today that says something close to what this T-shirt says. I don’t get it. Are they trying to hit people with a comet or something? It’d be rather strange if people started getting smashed with comets.

That reminds me of a commercial that I saw at D&T’s house once upon a time. A lady is standing in an office building and doing her thing at the copy machine, rubbing her head slightly because she thinks that she feels a headache coming on. She turns around and her boss has just walked up to her. She can see out the window behind him. He looks at her and says, “I have another report for you to do — how are the ones I’ve already asked for coming along?” She just stares at him for a second (at least, at first we think she’s staring at him), then he looks at her with a quizzical/persistent kind of look. He opens his mouth again and then she points past him and she screams out, “OH MY GOD, IT’S A METEOR AND IT’S HEADED RIGHT FOR ME!”

A meteor smashes through the office window and into her. Clouds of dust and smoke ensue, and clear themselves away within a few seconds. The papers from the copy machine are scattered everywhere. The lady is pushed back against the copy machine, leaning against it with the last ounce of her strength. All of her coworkers and her boss just keep going as if nothing had happened. Her boss keeps staring at her, and then says, “I’ll come back later and ask again, I guess.” The commercial announcer then goes on to talk about how migraines are in YOUR head, not theirs, and how you can avoid the problem by taking their medication.

I wish I had somehow saved that commercial ;) It’s made my day just thinking about it so many times!

And…I get to drink my Pepsi tonight :)
