Why?
Saturday, May 27, 2006Why do some people live their lives killing time? ...because they just don't get it.
Why do blackflies emerge just as the weather is lovely enough to go outside? ...cruel nature.
Why did I give my lawnmower away to someone who needed one, and now I have none? ...I am too nice sometimes.
Why do groceries cost so much money? ...do they really, yes I think so.
Why do slugs have no known predators? ...well we are. Me with my salt shaker, that is.
Why are my in-laws so hopelessly pathetic? ...I believe there is a law of physics that deals with this one.
Why do people give tips to the drive-thru Tim Hortons people? ...all they do is hand me my coffee. Should they get a little something extra for that?
Why do I have to go to freaking Thunder Bay for work next week? ...only known for the oldest rock on Earth and more blackflies.
Why couldn't it be somewhere worthwhile? ...like Monaco. Or the French Riviera. Actually, I could go on endlessly here.

Ahh...The McCarthy-Bjorn Interconnective Theory of In-Laws of 1962 first posited in Prague over a rare roast beef sandwich with horseradish cream dressing and later brought to discussion with some of the greatest scientific minds of our age after a Bowie/Eno concert in Berlin 12 years later:
The annoying qualities of In-Laws (A) are inversely proportional (up to 14x) to the sweetness and caring of their daughter-in-law (swDIL).
(1/∧14)x A ∝ 1/ (∧14x)swDIL
