I recently took my family out to dinner at a local restaurant. From a neighboring table I overheard one of the more ridiculous comments I've heard of late. A young man with his girlfriend and his mother dining with him said, "One of the things I really want to do before I die is go to Vegas and lose $1,000."
Such aspirations! Still, it doesn't top the comment made by a girl I worked with 15 years ago. She told me she wanted to be a Hooters girl (she definitely had the bust for it) because they got into NASCAR races for free. But she also used to abbreviate the word "associates" as "ass." Imagine receiving a letter addressed to "Emergency Medicine Ass." Now I'm wondering if I pissed away four years of my life and thousands of dollars to get a college education.
On a journey to the heart of darkness and futility.
