Regarding kos' current story on O'RLY's latest book... I wonder if that's what my mother was trying to buy last night.
Funny anecdote below the fold.
Last night, my mother melodramatically screams up the stairwell to her children in hopes that one of us had triple A batteries. I happened to have some, so I came down with two for her. Turns out her wireless mouse needed new ones and she said "OH thanks! You're a lifesaver!"
I asked her what was so urgent. She tells me dramatically that the "internet NEVER works for me" and that "ordering online NEVER WORKS for me." Somewhat sympathetic to her less than savvy internet skills, as she's nearing 60 (she knows how to use it far better than McCain does), I tried asking her what the problem was in an effort to help her out. She really couldn't clearly state what the problem is and heads back into the living room where her laptop is located.
Out of curiosity, I asked her what site she was trying to order from and she answers "Bill O'Reilly."
I nearly laughed out loud and had to bite my tongue until I got back up to my room. I wanted to say she should take it as a sign from God that she shouldn't be shopping from that blowhard, but refrained. She was already upset and frustrated.
Still amused the crap out of me though. Hope it made you chuckle.
