Because it wouldn&#8217;t be easier to just garrotte somebody with a circular needle, I&#8217;d like to try to pierce somebody&#8217;s aorta with a size 0 needle that I&#8217;ve made razor sharp. Or create a dynamically exploding, highly targeted weapon by jamming C4 into the barrel of the needle. Nobody will believe you&#8217;re serious when you try to set a needle up to their head, declaring you MUST be flown to Tahiti right NOW.  Whatever. I&#8217;m beginning to think that everything, virtually EVERYTHING in this world (or at least this country) is sustained by focusing on nit-pickley little shit that won&#8217;t truly make a difference but creates volumes upon volumes of busy work for managerial types to &#8220;supervise&#8221; and none of the really goddamn important stuff gets attended to, because THAT is too hard. I do it, everybody does it, but you know what? People who make shitloads more money than me need to not do it, and focus on the hard stuff &#038; get it figured out so the rest of us stop having tension headaches that start right about now.<\/p>\n<p>Morrissey&#8217;s singing about the Girlfriend in a Coma. That takes me back to such a simpler time. A time when you looked at the clock and said, &#8220;Yes, I can go to the Bar right now for Happy Hour, I will skip this godAwful Physiology of the Brain class!&#8221; God I hope if I ever end up in a Coma, James does not pull the plug on me.<br \/>\n<br \/>OH now on Retro Flashback at Lunch it&#8217;s &#8220;Detachable Penis&#8221;.
