impossible people
Some of the funniest things I see online are the “How-To”s found at eHow and on their wiki. Recent examples include “How to Draw a Frog”, “How to Meet Your Girlfriend’s Parents”, “How to Make a Paper Hat”, “How to Draw Bubble Letters”, “How to Make Great Photocopies”, “How to Do a Push Up”, and my all-time favourite, “How to Spot a Virgo”.
But this new one, “How to Deal With Impossible People”, has just got me wondering…
What sort of impossible people are we talking about here?
- The man whose nose was Wyoming?
- The woman that sneezes dryads and gnomes?
- The unfortunate children that live in a moth-eaten copy of a May 1952 issue of Life magazine?
- That guy that divided 24 by zero and got an elephant?
- And what about Jerome, the little man that lives in my head and gets to hear all the cool comebacks that I come up with ten minutes too late? What about him?! (I love Jerome.)
Impossible people.
You just gotta learn to live with them.
