This evening my parents showed me a hilarious/interesting video on youtube. Enjoy:
I saw the picture below featured on Reuters' website and promptly began salivating. The caption reads: "An employee takes a nap in a nap pod which blocks out light and sound at the Google headquarters in Mountain View, California March 3, 2008."
My father is hilarious, though not always on purpose.
Sometimes he is like a broken record, but only in the best of ways. It never fails that one of approximately one million things, words, names, or images will act as a sort of cognitive trigger, prompting him to tell the same joke or same 10-15 word anecdote that he can't seem to not find funny. Fortunately for us, he's usually amused for a reason (usually), For the past ten years at least, conversation within hearing range of my father which pertained to dog bites would always elicit the same anecdote in a crappy French accent:
"Excuse me, sir, does your dog bite?"
"No."
*dog bites*
"I thought you said your dog did not bite!"
"That is not my dog."
I think around the 300th retelling of this so (around 8 years ago), the pay off for me shifted from the humor of the situation to the crow-foot lines that would form in the corners of my dad's eyes. Nevertheless, I thought I would be performing a public service by posting this where more people might get to it. Let me know what you think.
