"But I own that I cannot see as plainly as others do, and I should wish to do, evidence of design and beneficence on all sides of us. There seems to me too much misery in the world. I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent and omnipotent God would have designedly created that a cat should play with mice."
-- Charles Darwin, Letter to Asa Gray
I just slipped and fell down moving boxes of books, and I skinned my knee. I'm not going to clean it off till my wife gets home so she can commiserate.
I didn't cry. Later on at the ballgame, I will buy myself candy, possibly a stuffed animal albeit a *manly* stuffed animal.
My (certified; not to be confused with certifiable) wound nurse wife says you should wash it or it will scab over with dirt in it and not heal as well.
Here's a nice story. I fell down just before we left for the A's game Friday. A fellow in the row in front of us pointed out my wound, and I said it was fine. He left and came back in five minutes with antiseptic pads, gauze and big bandages. And they say chivalry is dead. Well, not chivalry exactly, but you know what I mean.

ReplyDeleteWhat will you do with those pasty white thighs?

ReplyDeleteYou see ugly, I see the foreshadowing of 25 beautiful swans.
