Top ten things I don’t miss about taking the bus:
10: Buses that are early.
9: Buses that are late.
8: Buses that are on time when I’m late.
7: Was it always this cold waiting at the bus stop?
6: Hat head.
5: That giant puddle everyone keeps driving through.
4: The sweet smell of Eau d’ Hobo.
3: Lots more quality time with the Facebook app on my iPhone.
2: During the summer, sweating profusely in the bus seat, just like whoever sat here before me.
1: Crowded bus stops, or as they’re known in pan-handler parlance: a good place to barf.

TP texts: text messages, emails, tweets, and Facebook updates sent from your iPhone while you’re on the pot in the bathroom.
Example 1:
“Quit TP texting and get out of the bathroom! I need to get ready for work!”
Example 2:
“Ugh. Dude. Did you just TP text that tweet? That’s nasty. I gotta go decontaminate my keyboard. Does Norton Antivirus catch staphylococcus and rotavirus?”
Example 3:
“If my girl ever finds out our sexy texting is actually TP texting, I’m a dead man.”
Example 4:
“TP texting is plain wrong. For the same reason you don’t touch the magazines in someone else’s bathroom. It might be perfectly clean, but I don’t know that. Plus I can’t ever wash away the mental image of you thumbing one-handed. *shudder*.”

At dinner tonight, my wife and I were discussing the coming armageddon. I was saying we should invest our assets in seeds, livestock, guns and ammunition. She suggested that we should also buy a book on parenting since the total breakdown of society would likely mean an absence of cheap and affordable birth control.
To me, a bunch of little kids running around the homestead sounds a lot like free labor. They have small hands, and they’re not smart or large enough to back-talk. I suggested we name our firstborn “Number Eight,” so that we could keep him in line by talking about the mistakes of the first seven, as well as reminisce about how delicious they tasted.
