Thursday morning, General Update

Sleep followed me into my day, and stands just behind my right shoulder going, "Hey...hey...hey...hey...'scuse me...dude, I'm right here...hey...hey...just want to talk just for a minute...hey...hey..."  We were good in bed last night, but like a jealous and unsatisfied lover it didn't want to let me up this morning.  So, here we are.

Makes it hard to concentrate on the work, y'know?

Speaking of which, it looks like we'll be adding another customer before the end of next week, taking us down to 4UBE*.  I'm not caught up yet, but getting closer.  I'm giving up most of my evenings to it in the hopes that there will be some payoff - some improvement in our situation as a result of the effort now.  I believe there will be.

* Until Break-Even

Uh huh.

This starts out sounding like a joke, but it's not.

So, a guy's leg is amputated after an accident.  After the operation, the doctor asks him what to do with it.

"What do you usually do?" the man asks.

"Well, normally, we cremate amputated limbs."

"Can I have it?"

The doctor scratches his head, thinks a moment and says, "Okay.  Even though we're probably violating a few federal laws I don't see why not."

So the guy takes his leg home and stores it in his smoker, which presumably he never intended to again use to prepare food for consumption.  Maybe he even smokes it to preserve it.

Now the story gets really strange...

The man's belongings get put into storage and when he doesn't pay the bill the storage company auctions his belongings off, including the smoker with the leg still inside.

The man that purchased the smoker gets it home, finds the leg, thinks "Holy shit, there's a leg in my smoker!" 

What would you do, dear reader?

The buyer starts charging the neighborhood kids money to see the leg.  When contacted by the leg's original owner, he refuses to part with it until the guy pays him for it.
