Pipe Dreams
Once, Jon entertained notions that he would start a business designing greeting cards. There were only two problems: (1) he hated the designing part of the business; and (2) he hated the business part of the business.
Actually, he never got as far as the business part of the business, but he’s pretty sure he would have hated it. In the process he also dashed the dreams of his would be business partner, but that’s another story.
All that remains from the endeavor are the four examples to the right. The rest (and there weren’t many more) were left under a pile of newspapers and ended up being recycled.
Poor Taste, Apparently
The neighborhood was throwing a baby shower for some friends a few doors down from us. Jon got inspired and assembled a special gift — a “home vasectomy kit” — for Eric, the dad-to-be. Jon nearly wet his pants in anticipation as Eric unwrapped the present. But instead of ROFL, Eric just stared at it, mouth agape. Then he passed the kit around for others to see. Several well-wishers squirmed visibly as they caught sight of it.
Not quite the desired effect.
