" Mammogram Court " article .
While conducting some business at the Court House, I overheard a lady, who had been arrested for assaulting a Mammogram Technician, say, "Your Honor, I’m guilty but . . . there were extenuating circumstances."
The female judge said, sarcastically, "I'd certainly like to hear those extenuating circumstances. I did, too, so, I listened as the lady told her story.
"Your Honor, I had a mammogram appointment, which I actually kept. I was met by this perky little clipboard carrier smiling from ear to ear and she tilted her head to one side and crooned, "Hi! I'm Belinda! All I need you to do is step into this room right here, strip to the waist, then slip on this gown. Everything clear?"
I'm thinking, "Belinda, try decaf. This ain't rocket science." Belinda then skipped away to prepare the chamber of horrors.
With the right side finished, Belinda flipped me (literally) to the left and said, "Hmmmmm. Can you stand on your tippy toes and lean in a tad so we can get everything?" Fine, I answered.
I was freezing, bruised, and out of air, so why not use the remaining circulation in my legs and neck to finish me off? My body was in a holding pattern that defied gravity (with my other breast wedged between those two 4 inch pieces of square glass) when I heard and felt a zap!
Complete darkness, the power was off!
Belinda said, "Uh-oh, maintenance is working, bet they hit a snag" Then she headed for the door.
"Excuse me! You're not leaving me in this vise alone are you?" I shouted.
Belinda kept going and said, "Oh, you fussy puppy. . . the door's wide open so you'll have the emergency hall lights. I'll be right back."
Before I could shout NOOOO! She disappeared. And that's exactly how Bubba and Earl, "maintenance men Extraordinaire" found me . . half-naked with part of me dangling from the Jaws of Life and the other part smashed between glass.
After exchanging a polite Hi, how's it going type greeting, Bubba (or possibly Earl) asked, to my utter disbelief, if I knew the power was off.
Trying to disguise my hysteria, I replied with as much calmness as possible, "Uh, yes, I did but thanks anyway."
"Ok, you take care now," Bubba replied and waved good-bye as though I'd been standing in the line at the grocery store.
Two hours later, Belinda breezes in wearing a sheepish grin. Making no attempt to suppress her amusement, she said, "Oh I am sooo sorry! The power came back on and I totally forgot about you! And silly me, I went to lunch. Are we upset?"
And that, Your Honor, is exactly how her head ended up between the clamps . . "
The judge could hardly contain her laughter as she said "Case Dismissed!".
Im fine toowinter's coming and im happy now...
Thanks LPt
Thanks A Guy
Came across a large ladybug in dire straits, lying on its back with twitching legs and one wing sticking out of its wing-case. After I carefully flipped it back onto its stomach, it proceeded to wander around the sill in a rather drunken manner, stopping every now and then to retract its trapped wing - without success. My hopes concerning its survival were rather low.
Fifteen minutes later, when I returned to my room, I found it sitting happily on the wall, with that wing finally fully retracted. Right on cue, it spread open its wing-cases and zoomed out of the window to the neighbour's tree. A determined little creature!

First wall lizards, then ladybugs...I wonder what will be next ;-)) I don't like to see the little critters suffer or experience discomfort, and helping them is usually such a straightforward matter. Our neighbour, by the way, is sure he saw a fox recently. Lots of animals are losing their habitat thanks to the building lobby, and they're wandering into human settlements. I've noticed that if a new house sprouts up, many birds will lose their lives flying against the glass - it can take a good year or two until they have adjusted their geography.
I am sorry to say that the rubbish bins at uni are not changed/cleaned out regularly. They do not even have a bin liner. The result: CLOUDS of drosophila flies sitting in the bins and feasting on the garbage. Nudge a bin with your foot, and a whole swarm of flies rises in protest. Today, I was forced to eat my lunch in another room after five or six flies kept circling my sandwich...
That is why I don't like to sit outdoors and eat in the summer....the bugs!
At least the bugs occur naturally in outdoor surroundings ;-D But indoors, they're breeding and breeding clandestinely in the garbage bins. The uni microwave, too, is filthy, coated with crumbs and a kind of crust which I dare not describe further...
And the uni computers have not been updated for six months, I think. The Firefox version installed on them is 3.6, for example...Sigh.
