Nice day today. We went for a long walk in Isla Vista with Max and watch the high surf coming right up to the bluffs. Many, many surfers were trying their best to right the big waves. Coal Oil point was really hopping. There were a lot of people watching, too!
Went to see Invictus last night. It was a pretty good "feel-good" movie. It had very interesting scenery and watching the rugby games was cool. They are really brutal.
So I'm packed and ready for tomorrow's trip to Dallas (if we end up going)....
"When I was younger I hated going to weddings. It seemed that all
of my aunts and the grandmotherly types used to come up to me,
poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, 'You're next.'
They stopped that after I started doing the same thing to them at
funerals."
- Jerry Seinfeld
Back in the time of the Samurai there was a powerful emperor who
sent a declaration out throughout the country announcing that he
was searching for a new head Samurai.
A year passed and only three people showed up to apply for the
position: a Japanese Samurai, a Chinese Samurai and a Jewish
Samurai.
The emperor asked the Japanese Samurai to come in and demonstrate
why he should be the new head Samurai. The Japanese Samurai
opened a match box and out popped a little fly. Whoosh went his
sword and the fly dropped dead on the ground in two pieces.
The emperor exclaimed, "That is very impressive!"
The emperor then asked the Chinese Samurai to come in and
demonstrate why he should be the new head Samurai. The Chinese
Samurai also opened a match box and out popped a fly. Whoosh -
whoosh went his sword. The fly dropped dead on the ground in four
pieces.
The emperor exclaimed, "That is really very impressive!"
The emperor then had the Jewish Samurai demonstrate why he should
be the new head Samurai. The Jewish Samurai also opened a match
box and out popped a fly. His flashing sword went Whoosh, whoosh,
whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. A gust of wind filled the room, but the
fly was still alive and buzzing around.
The emperor, obviously disappointed, asked, "After all of that,
why is the fly not dead?"
The Jewish Samurai smiled and said,
"Circumcision is not intended to kill."
