Aging Aunt Mildred

Aging Aunt Mildred was a 93-year-old woman who was particularly despondent over the recent death of her husband. She decided that she would just kill herself and join him in death.

Thinking that it would be best to get it over with quickly, she took out his old Army pistol and made the decision to shoot herself in the heart, since it was badly broken in the first place.

Not wanting to miss the vital organ and become a vegetable and a burden to someone, she called her doctor’s office to inquire as to just exactly where the heart would be on a woman. The doctor said, ‘Your heart would be just below your left breast’.

Later that night…….. Mildred was admitted to the hospital with a gunshot wound to her knee.

KFC Update | Bad Complaints Handling

Dear King xxxxx
c/o Mawson Lakes KFC
(CC: Emma @ Yum Restaurants)

Thank you for finally getting back to me. I can only imagine how busy you must be ruling the kingdom of KFC. I do want to express my disappointment that it has taken 43 days for the store to make contact. I checked my inbox today, and in the last 43 days, I have sent over 3000 emails. I find it amusing that you could not find the time to send one. But, as you signed your last email, you ARE King Pheobe after all.

In the email that you have managed to get through, you have not addressed my initial concern, nor resolved the complaint at hand. My complaint was in regards to improperly prepared & handled food, and the lack of refresher towels that were placed in my bag.

In your reply you did not address this at all, however found it pertinant to let me know that one of your crew members is now clean shaven. Thank you very much for letting me know. In return, I will let you know that there are 7 clean shaven men in my office today.

Thank you also for the standard offer of replacing my meal. After such a bad experience with KFC Mawson Lakes, which has now panned out near 2 months, I doubt I will be returning soon and such the offer of a replacement meal will probably go to waste.

Also, your email had 12 (from first count) mistakes in it. A little abrasive for 4 sentences, however I totally understand where you are coming from. If I was a King, I wouldn’t bother with making spelling and grammatical corrections either. For your help in the future though, below is a link to a grammar couse which you might be interested in:

Your email was also signed off with a phone number and instructions to contact you if I felt like further communication. Once more I am left disappointed by your wit. If I had the need, want or ability to communicate with you verbally, do you not think I would have done this in the first instance? For all you know, I could be a mute. In fact, for all you know I could be a mute midget travelling around with a circus entertaining cancer-stricken childen. I’m not, I simply prefer communication via email- a trusted and traceable source.

Ultimately I would love for your store to compensate me for this time. I feel though that this would be outside of your jurisdiction. Even a mighty monarch can only do so much. So, in closing, I hope you have a long and prosperous reign. Though personally I believe the only true King is Simba and his heirs.

Long live the King.

Future: Is There a Choice?

Have you ever heard the term “the future”? I’m sure you have… you know- ‘in “the future” we will need to be more environmentally conscious’ or ‘”in “the future” cars will fly in the sky’.
But also, the idea of people time travelling into “the future”. This is absolute bullshit, if you ask me- which no one did but this is my post so I will write what I want.

Why is it so far fetched, you ask? The simple wording tells you. THE future. Singular. If I jumped forward 20 minutes from now, when this post is already written… well it means the post is already written. The words have been chosen and the meaning depicted.

So?

If this ended up being a 500 word story, with over 200 000 words in the english language… thats 100 000 000 possibilities, that is one hundred million choices I have to make.
Jumping forward into the future, how have all those choices already been made… unless truth be told we don’t really have a choice?

If time truly is linear- that is it travels from A to B without going through any other points or doubling back on itself, then that’s true. We do not have choice.

This falls very much in line with the idea that all the choices we are presented with have already been made- for example, what am I going to have for breakfast this morning? I have a choice of many different foods, but if a non-biased force could review my life inside out, then they would be able to accurately predict which choice I am gong to make. If you can predict it, is it a choice?

Unless you wanna get all trippy and be like ‘that’s the matrix idea… the choice is already made. we just need ot understand it’.

Google Autofill: A lot of Fun

I saw this idea when I did a quick google and saw a few sites have similar posts. Thought might as well do mine! I’m sure everyone has seen the auto-fill on google. Start the sentence and see what common things get googled.
