Quote of the Day

[11:46] Cole: I love cops with a sense of humor.
[11:46] Cole: I got pulled over by one while I was eating my fries while riding my bike.
[11:46] Cole: He goes "Son, did you know there's a two hundred dollar fine for riding a bike without using your hands?"
[11:46] Cole: I reply "What about unicycles?"
[11:46] Cole: "Oh, they're exempt."
[11:46] Cole: "Well, this is a regulation two-wheeled unicycle with an optional handlebar attachment."
[11:47] Cole: "Oh? *chuckle* Well then, carry on."

The Orange

by Wendy Cope

At lunchtime I bought a huge orange
The size of it made us all laugh.
I peeled it and shared it with Robert and Dave—
They got quarters and I had a half.

And that orange it made me so happy,
As ordinary things often do
Just lately. The shopping. A walk in the park
This is peace and contentment. It’s new.

The rest of the day was quite easy.
I did all my jobs on my list
And enjoyed them and had some time over.
I love you. I’m glad I exist.
