Overheard just now in a coffee shop...

Two 30s-40s aged women discussing watching DVDs...

"You can listen to a different language sometimes, but I don't know how it translates it... it's so weird."

"But how does it *know*?"

"I don't know. Oh, and then its' *really annoying* when it gets stuck on something like French because that's what the last person who rented it put it on. I hate that."

...

Peoples is ignurnt.

M. tells of a time she was on the bus, crossing Lake Washington on a moderately windy day, when one passenger asked another why the water on one side of the bridge was choppy, and the water on the other side of the bridge was calm.

"The choppy side is the salt water," was the answer.

Particularly amusing since the wind is predominantly out of the south 'round there, and so the "salt water" side was undoubtedly not on the side of the lake closest to the Sound.

Wow, I'm having flashbacks to the entitlement matron at the _Into Great Silence_ film I saw last week.

I wish I could have been there, I imagine the look on her face at seeing me laugh at her would have been priceless. Remember, that's all stupid people are good for: entertainment. :D

The fools. Everyone knows a DVD only stays stuck on a particular language if you don't rewind it.
