On a lighter note

radegundSome fragments from my stream of thought as I walked home this evening:
1. An ad in a magazine made me laugh a lot when I saw it, so I went and hunted it out for your delectation. Above a photograph of a stern-faced, white-haired, bespectacled woman in a lilac mackintosh are the words "Yes, it is me." Beneath the photograph, the following:
I am sick to death of watching you lot fighting over my money. I am not dead yet. So here you go. I'm spending it. I am putting this message in every magazine I can find and will keep doing so until the money is gone. Then maybe you can stop all the bickering. Shame on you all. Bernie.
Go her! (Sort of. I mean, she could have given the money to charity. But I did find this very amusing.)
ETA: Apparently this was a fake - an ad campaign of some sort. I feel cheated!
2. A poll! A poll!
[Poll #531768]
* Unfortunately, this is a lie. Well, the first part is, anyway. It'd be nice, though, wouldn't it?
3. Someone who used to sing in my choir actually had a rich great-aunt (or equivalent) in California, but when she died she left her ENTIRE ESTATE (or so the story went) to pay for her being CRYOGENICALLY FROZEN. What a loon.
