Things I Will Need If I Have To Work Three Graves In A Row

1. Duct tape 2. At least 40 oz of Pepsi 3. A punching bag with a scary clown face on it that laughs when you hit it 4. A pizza 5. A really catchy and terrible song that I can put on repeat on my MP3 player 6. A new hat 7. One of those giant rolls of tickets 8. A good book 9. A massage 10. Someone to hold hostage until these demands are met 

The Ultimate Quandry of the 21st Century

I was coming out of the Dollar Store today and heard someone yell, "I don't like people getting in my stuff!"  I looked up and discovered a dishelved looking man staggering towards me.  As he passed by me, he continued rambling incoherently. Which begs the question: Blue Tooth or Nut Ball? I've wondered this many times, and unless the person is rhyming and word salading up a storm, I usually err on the side of sane.  As I got in my car, I started thinking about what defines insanity.  Our definition of insanity is fairly dependant on deviating from the norm.  So if the norm changes to look more like insanity, is the person still insane?  For example: someone who is wearing a headset is hearing and talking to voices that no one else hears.  If you asked this person if s/he believed the voices were real, s/he would say yes, that they were coming out of a device s/he was wearing.  Doesn't that sound just a little like schizophrenia?
