Rhino: Educated Yet Absent Minded?

My neck/back is epic-ly fucked up. It would suck to have to sleep on the couch with said problem, and this post may get me there.

Firstly, this is still a bit of a mystery, but the stopper in our bathroom sink was stuck down in the bottom position. This made it impossible to use the sink as it would just fill up. Why and how? Well there is a knob above the faucet that usually raises the stopper by pushing it in, and lowering it by pulling it out. The knob had no effect, and the seal is airtight, so I could not get anything in there to pry it out. A proper paratrooper always fights on through the objective. Magnet or suction cup? Bathtub stopper as suction cup for the win. Now, I do not know who pulled the sink stopper out, but when they did, they couldn’t figure out that their is a groove on the outside that corresponds to the pin that raises and lowers the stopper. Instead, they pulled the knob out, thus the pin was at the bottom, then put the stopper in. The stopper has slits down the sides in order to allow water in but not a bunch of gunk. So as soon as the next person, me, pushed the knob in to raise it, the pin got stuck in one of the grooves. I used the other stopper, and it’s chain for leverage, to pull it out. Problem fixed, but damn.

Now, my lady was down visiting some sorority friends in LA and OC. She went to UCLA and was a Bio major, and did well. That would seem to make her extremely smart, she is, but absent minded. I went to pick her up at SFO and the traffic on the way there was absolutely, monumentally, egregious, on a Sunday. I get there and she says she is waiting outside, I make 4 passes and start to panic a little, “where is she?” So I pull over in front of her terminal, and give her a call, of course some dickhead cop has to come give me shit about getting out of my car and being on my phone. “Where are you?” “In front of Delta.” “Uh, I am in front of Delta, looking at the baggage claim, wait, are you upstairs at the arrivals?” “Um, yes, sorry.” “Okay, well this cop is beeing a fuck face, so I have to go around again.” It took two more passes, and me telling the cop to “fuck off and kiss my CIB.” One of these days a cop is going to taze me in front of a group of people and I am going to receive start up capital for an aggressive growth fund out of it.
