insanity

I don’t know ’cause I’m not a doctor, but isn’t it when they diagnose you for mental disorder they ask if you’ve felt or experienced anything unusual? They’d backtrack towards events in your life or previous actions that might prove your sanity or otherwise.

Okay, so let’s backtrack…

*** After overtime***
After another crazy day at work without sleep, I accompanied my mom to the hospital for some routine lab tests; then we went grocery shopping. I usually don’t stare at other people but a certain girl caught my attention. She was confidently walking with her boyfriend inside the air-conditioned mall while wearing a) an orange bra, b) overlaid with a sheer white blouse, c) skinny jeans, d) a red scarf and e) dark shades. I was stifling giggles so much that my mother wanted to hit me. Hehe.

Sorry, I don’t intend to be mean… but girl, ano ba? Don’t contradict yourself! I don’t know if the ensemble was meant to be for summer or winter. It’s okay to wear a two-piece suit with a translucent cover-up on the beach but in the mall? And fine, for the sake of fashion, it’s okay that Pinoys wear scarves despite the equatorial weather, but not with exposed bright-colored brassieres. Maybe it’s just me; but forgive me for this one, I had a bursting laugh anyway.

***Before overtime***
Everyday I get a lot of jokes about so many different things. Some are worth a little smile but most of them have been quite irritating. But behold, here’s one joke that actually made me laugh for a good minute:

     Two atoms are walking down the sidewalk,
     Atom 1: “Wait! Stop! I think I lost an electron!”
     Atom 2: “Are you sure?”
     Atom 1: “Yeah, I’m positive!”

Corny, hehe. But I laughed! Maybe I just missed chem (eh?). Ironically, later that day I was teaching a kid about redox reactions. LOL

***Sometime in the middle of work***
Girl: Alia, question. What do you call that middle groove below the nostrils and above the upper lip?
Me: Ah, that one. It starts with PH. Wait… (2 seconds) … ah, it’s PHALLUS.

Girl: Oh, actually sounds familiar. Thanks. *she begins looking it up at Google to look for a technical definition*
Me: (Teka, why does it sound weird? Sexual. Shet!)  Wait!

Girl: Huh?
Me: It’s PHILTRUM. Phallus is… erm, look it up on Wikipedia.
