My favorite takes a bit of setup and is a little bit different: In college, a friend of my roommate was referred to as a "weirdness magnet" because strange people were constantly drawn to her. My sophomore year, I started having similar experiences. So we decided that somehow I had become a weirdness magnet too. My roommate and I were walking through a crowded section of campus discussing this situation. I decided that he was a "carrier" and had passed it to me. He disagreed. I said "It is a disease AND YOU GAVE IT TO ME!" That last part my voice got a little loud. People all around stopped and stared at us. There really wasn't anyway to recover so I just blushed and slunk away. - jmh _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
