THE RAT RACE AS VIEWED BY WOMEN? Overheard Today. Do I look like a people person? This isn't an office. It's Hell with fluorescent lighting. I started out with nothing & still have most of it left. Sarcasm is just one more service we offer. If I throw a stick, will you leave? You...! Off my planet! Does your train of thought have a caboose? Did the aliens forget to remove your anal probe? Errors have been made. Others will be blamed. A PBS mind in an MTV world. Allow me to introduce my selves. Whatever kind of look you were going for, you missed. Well, this day was a total waste of makeup. See no evil, hear no evil, date no evil! Are those your eyeballs? I found them in my cleavage. Not all men are annoying. Some are dead. I'm trying to imagine you with a personality. A cubicle is just a padded cell without a door. Stress is when you wake up screaming & realize you haven't fallen asleep yet. Can I trade this job for what's behind door #1? Too many freaks, not enough circuses. Nice perfume. Must you marinate in it? Chaos, panic, & disorder--my work here is done. How do I set a laser printer to "stun"? I thought I wanted a career, turns out I just wanted paychecks.  [C:PIRILLO.EXE] 8:33:10 AM     Comments[]

HEY, KATIE! ANOTHER INSTRUMENT TO LEARN (We miss you!) Fake Didgeridoos Anger Aborigines Who Consider Instrument Sacred By LEILA ABBOUD   Staff Reporter of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL FREELAND, Md. -- For thousands of years, Australian aborigines have painstakingly harvested the hollow branches of eucalyptus trees to make didgeridoos, their sacred musical instrument. Aborigines walk through the bush in northern Australia, tapping on trunks to find those that termites have hollowed to just the right thickness, giving what is said to be the world's oldest wind instrument a sound quality somewhere between a foghorn and a trumpeting elephant.
