I am going to have to start a new series for the quotes/questions of the day.
Todays question brought to you by Bellevue Mental Hospital, which has apparently opened their doors and said, "Who wants to go to Cannon Beach today?"

Should you ever become flustered enough with the dingbats you have to put up with to actually shoot lightning from your eyes, please contact me, I will gladly hire you to shoot eye-lightning at any of the enormous number of slow-witted people I deal with on a daily basis.
I just about swallowed my tongue when I read the question "Who wants to go to Cannon Beach today?" because I DO! I'm a former Oregonian stuck here in the south.
Okay, AND, the person you talked to must be related to the clerk at the bookstore who, when I asked her if they had Jane Eyre, said, "I dunno. What did she write?" Big sigh.
