Questions that could ruin your day
 
How am I going to pay for my 3 kids' college educations?

And 2 or 3 weddings? (hopefully)

Will LASIK destroy my profession?

Will the doctor retire when I'm 52, leaving me unemployed?

Will my kids fight in the global war on terror?

Will global warming, a terrorist attack, a celestial body hitting the earth, nuclear war, or any other catastrophe radically change civilization as we know it - during my lifetime?

Why is this mark on my face asymmetrical?

Will people not hire me because I'm fat?

Is this just a "keep you up awake at night thought"? Or are opticians seeing a decrease in business that's directly attributable to LASIK?

And what about online glasses places that will sell you your prescription glasses for $20 instead of $200? I just got $17 glasses from eyebuydirect.com. Not trying to ruin your day more, but how can a local optician compete with that?

Are they coming to take me away (ho ho hee hee ha ha)?

"Hey Shawnee, did you see your name in the paper?"

I don't think it has, yet. In fact some of the people who havehad LASIK still need glasses. As the affordability of LASIK increases, it may effect eyeglass sales. So it's not an immediate threat, but...

You can get a business suit for a lot less on-line, too. But who will take the measurements accurately to ensure a good fit, and who will tailor the suit once you get it? What happens if you break the glasses? Will your on-line provider replace a frame under warranty? If they send you a new frame, how will you get your lenses from the broken frame to the new one? Oh, buy a whole new pair? Hmmm... Don't forget that you know a lot more about suits than you do about glasses - much of what you pay your optician is for expertise, not product. In the future, I expect to have an "on-line package" that will include product design, measurements, and adjustments, the price of which will make your on-line purchase about the same as you would pay in my shop. Luckily, eyeglasses are NOT a commodity.

Did you remember to turn off the stove?
Those letters from the IRS weren't important were they?
Do you know how fast you were going?
Would you step back through the metal detector, sir.

Have you had anything to drink this evening, sir?

What is that white powder in your luggage?

Has anyone told you about the Kingdom of God?

I use my very lovely cellar.org tagline mug at work. I also, on occasion, forward my boss IOTDs having to do with aviation.

AFAIK he hasn't started regularly reading here, probably because there isn't enough discussion about NASCAR.

Sheldonrs 03-20-2007 11:16 AM

What do you think about Stanley Kubrick?

(you would not believe how many different places I have gotten into arguements over this question--for the record, I can't stand any of his films)

melidasaur 03-20-2007 11:38 AM

SteveDallas 03-20-2007 08:33 PM

Didn't you notice that the temperature gauge on the car was pegged all the way to the right?

monster 03-21-2007 12:06 PM

Did I just hit "reply" or "reply all"?

Spexxvet 03-21-2007 12:15 PM

Is there something hanging out of my nose?

I was really drunk last night. Why does my asshole hurt?

Is that a picture of me?

Shawnee123 03-21-2007 12:16 PM

There was a guy named Guido looking for you last night. I gave him your home address, did he find you?

Sundae 03-21-2007 12:21 PM

Did you realise the Secrecy button on that phone doesn't work?

Undertoad 03-21-2007 12:52 PM

The best-eaten-by date on that box was what year?

Shawnee123 03-21-2007 12:56 PM

Did you remember to feed the cat?

melidasaur 03-21-2007 03:24 PM

Should we open this label-less can?

I do love pulling labels off of cans and putting them back in my parents' cupboard.

That is a fun one. It's also fun to pull the label off and then create your own label and tape it on. Even an obviously fake one can be good.

Shall we shave the other one before he wakes up?
