In which there’s a break in communication
April 25, 2012I awoke with this joke in my head:
Q: What do you call half a Soviet news agency?
A: Demitasse.
It is not the kind of joke you can tell nowadays. Not because it’s inappropriate, but because it’s irrelevant. And it wasn’t that funny to begin with.
I sent you a mildly inappropriate text message yesterday, but (perhaps fortunately!) it didn’t go through. I will transcribe below: “Sometimes when both dogs are sitting on my lap and I need a little breathing room I throw biscuits across the room for them to chase. Maybe you could throw cookies across the room for your mother and aunt? If not cookies, maybe chocolates? Bon mots?”
Love you, V. xo xo.
I did not this receive text. Which is too bad! But I love it.
How about this: what do you call it when half a Soviet news agency takes a coffee break?
Yeah, I guess it’s still not that funny.
I appreciate that you made the effort.
😳
What’s awesome though is that you found something funny!
My brain just Keeps chugging along through ups and downs
What do you call half a bottle of Russian vodka?
In Russia: Breakfast
In Texas: Dinner
(Because of the time difference, get it?)
I realize there is a flaw in the joke because Texans prefer tequila for dinner.
OK, Let’s try again.
What do you call half a glass of a Greyhound?
Violet just getting started at our trailer park garden party.
Love you & hope you have a fun day.

Yeah, that sounds superlative! Love you too.Sleep well!
It is funny, though!
It really is
Kris Carr idiot. That’s what I typed into the google bar after reading an article about her. Somehow it led me to your blog. I’m a 43 year old mom from Canada with a life very different from your own. I wanted to let you know that, in my opinion, you have an incredible gift for writing. Your entire blog should be a book. You’re gooood.
Ha! Well, however you got here, you are more than welcome, and I say that, I hope, not just as a response to your very kind compliment. Unless you are really Kris Carr, in which case you are a frivolous name-dropping fame ho. Aw, even if you are, you can stay.
