People,

So many annoying things going on in the world, so little time....

Oh well. This morning I was trying to choose which annoying thing to write about and just couldn't make up my mind, so today you get three small journal entries about really stupid people for the price of one. Hoo-ray.

- A man is suing a cable television company claiming that he is fat, an alcoholic and a chronic smoker because he is addicted to cable and can't pull himself away from it...well, except to buy lots of junk food, cigarettes and alcohol. He also claims that cable is the cause of the breakdown in his and his wife's relationship and has made his kids fat and lazy. This guy is so stupid I can't even make a joke about him. It would cheapen it.

- The woman who claimed to lose a $162 million dollar lottery ticket only to have another woman come forward with it has dropped her claim, although not before filing a lawsuit to get her share. Now people, I have to admit I kinda admire the balls it takes to pretend you've won the lottery and then to try to con your way to a jackpot but, in poker terms, when you know you're beat you gotta fold the cards. Maybe next time, crazy lady.

- Two of my gym enemies were talking in the locker room yesterday with no irony about the cold weather.

Gym Enemy 1: I can't go running with you tomorrow. Too cold.
Gym Enemy 2: C'mon. I'm going. If people can sleep under bridges in this weather then I can go outside for a half hour.
Gym Enemy 1: I guess, but the homeless get used to it. They don't really feel the cold.
Gym Enemy 2: Yeah they become immune to it.

Homeless people don't feel the cold?!?!? I have never heard more ridiculous middle class rationalization in my life. You can't tell me, while I'm sitting here at work still waiting for my testicles to descend from somewhere up near my heart after a 15 minute walk outside that anyone gets used to this cold. Man, I hate those guys.

Oh well, that's the week in stupid, folks.
