Woo Sees the Moonlight?

I don’t know what it is, but February always seems to go by faster than any of the other months. It’s Blog Post 120.

Love is in the air. St. Valentine has come and gone. It’s a great time to be alive. So, grab your best pair of green mukluks, fill them with pulpy orange juice as a sign to the gods that you are completely with it, just before expressing your desire for world domination and a Snoopy snow cone.

Travel is Back

My wife and I just booked a trip to Paris and Italy in May. The romance, the history, and the adventure will all blend beautifully with the cattle drive of tourists, influencers, and scammers that we will encounter along the way. While we hope to hit all the tourist hotspots, we’re also seeking some good old fashion R&R chillaxin time. It would also be nice to get off the beaten path and see a little of the real Italy.

We’ll have a couple days in Paris before venturing off to the beauty of Venice, historic Florence, and the cultural hub of Milan. We’re also going to Kamloops and Red Deer this summer. Travel is truly back.

Baseball is Back!

Spring training has begun for Major League Baseball. While it’s not a game for everyone, it’s a passion for many and the historical, cultural, and social impact reaches far and wide. Speaking of far and wide, I wonder what the strike zone will be like this year.

As per usual, may the Toronto Blue Jays lose every game (except the games that help the Seattle Mariners or just beat George Costanza’s New York Yankees).

I’m interested to see what kind of year Seattle Mariner’s pitcher, Bryan Woo has this season. He was great last year and I’m hoping he has another strong season. For those who are confused, he’s not on first. Who’s not on first?

Woo.

Woo’s not on first?

No. Woo’s pitching.

Who’s pitching?

Woo.

Who?

No, Woo.

Damn, this blog is awesome. Go Mariners!

Words of Wisdom

1. Cleanliness and hygiene are important. Cats know this. Why do so many humans not understand this?

As a community nurse, I’ve gone to many patient’s homes to provide wound care. A lot of patients have dogs or cats. I think I’ve created a sterile field but discover that all I’ve really done is made a cat bed. Cats know.

2. A.I. can be your friend. That’s what it told me anyway.

I wrote a short story that had some problems and needed editing. I was going to ask for AI to fiks it, but I decided not to. I then received ad after ad after ad speaking to the many great benefits of AI. It’ll make your life better and easier. At least that’s what it told me.

“I think it’s important to write things that are clearly human, without AI, without computer assist, with grammar and punctuation software.”

“Then write something with lots of mitsakes, then it’ll look human made.”

3. Learn to get it.

There’s a moon in the photo… and it’s day time…

I still don’t get it.

In Conklusion

Thank you for checking out this month’s blog. It’s hard to believe how fast the time goes. We’re on the verge of March as time marches on. It’s now time for the ending joke with full credit to my wife, Lesly. Enjoy.

My wife and I walked by a man, a little kid, and a big dog.

Once we were past them, I said to my wife, “That should be on a leash.”

My wife said, “Yeah, the dog should be on a leash too.”

Easily Quoting Me Back to Me Like an Absolutely Successful Boss

January is off to a great start. Trump, Putin, fires, ongoing war, A.I takeover, stock markets crashing, bitcoin craziness and this blog… this wonderful blog. Roysblog, with your words so bright, won’t you guide my sleigh… Oops sorry, got carried away. It’s Blog Post #119.

The new year is off to a great start… for me anyway. For the rest of the world? It could be better. It also could be worse… it can always be worse. Ugh. So, find a discarded old sock in a muddy puddle, dry it or don’t, then put it on your hand and let it guide your every decision going forward. Come on people. Get it together!

Success

What is success? I read that they recently asked several successful billionaires what success meant to them. Successful billionaires? I want to hear from the unsuccessful billionaires. Then, we’ll really learn something.

Writing Update

My next book, The Regrets We Can’t Have, has finally been started. It will be a series of fictional short stories for your reading pleasure. No A.I and no editor. It’ll be pure Roy goodness… like this blog. I’m hopeful for a 2026 release. Stay tuned for more details, including excerpts, in the coming months.

They say that when writing to try to use as few words as possible to make the point you’re making. No unnecessary words.

The Other Scene

Writing provides many great and rewarding moments. Recently, I had one of the best of these moments. In last month’s blog I wrote:

I recently watched a show where a couple bought a home and were very excited. “My new house is great. It has a large open area with beautiful details, eye catching finishes, and plenty of natural light. It’s also quite large with plenty of storage. This is the perfect home to sit comfortably… and spend all day scrolling my phone.”

A few days later, I was talking with my wife’s cousin about housing. She said: “I recently read this thing about having a house with a large open space and great details… the perfect home… to sit and spend all day scrolling on the phone.”

I replied, “You’re joking, right? Where’s the camera?”

She was not.

I said, “I wrote that. You’re quoting me back to me.”

It was like that scene in When Harry Met Sally. No, not that scene. The one where the Carrie Fisher character first meets the Bruno Kirby character, “I wrote that. I’ve never had anyone quote me back to me before.”

Words of Wisdom

1. Travel. It’s a way to get outside yourself and your problems and connect with a larger world.

My wife and I decided to cancel our trip to Mexico in March and instead head to northern Italy in May. Fantastico!

2. January is almost over… so take down your G.D. Xmas tree!

3. Learn languages. Just because A.I. makes it unnecessary, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do it. It’s easy.

That’s it for this month’s blog. Stay tuned for updates on the next book. Thank you for supporting this blog. It’s now time for the ending joke that explains how easy learning English is. Enjoy!

What does the phrase ‘It’s a piece of cake mean?’

It’s easy.

Ok, but what does it mean?

That it is easy.

Then explain it to me.

It’s easy. It’s simple.

Great, then clarify what it means.

What in the World Happened to Everything

Happy December. The world’s best blog is back with post #118. If you’re looking for real human content, this is your ultimate source for the ludicrous, the non-sensical, the imperfect of a living breathing human. Is this the last place of refuge? I don’t know… but PACHOW! Put skiis on your undersized pet turtle and let’s get going.

November

What in the world happened to November? My apologies to all loyal readers that November did not see a blog post. There were extenuating circumstances. After my laptop screen went wonky and needed replacing, my Facebook and Instagram accounts were hacked and disabled. Meta zucks. Please note that I have new Facebook and Instagram accounts.  

December

Let us not focus on the past but instead concentrate on the right now. I found this rose on a sunny day in December. This flower scoffs at the notion of global warming.

Booking It

I am very excited to share that my books, Nursing: The Funny Side of the Bedside and Jonah Chooses Amazing are selling quite well for November and December. I guess people really are looking for high quality human produced, literary content as Xmas presents.

Why are you always on about AI?

I’m not worried about the current AI which writes stories, plays chess, and teaches languages. I’m worried about the AI created by AI which then makes a better AI which goes on to make a better AI which then makes a better AI until it’s so much smarter than humans that it realizes it doesn’t need or want humans. Agent Smith and Sarah Connor knew.

 Travel

My wife and I are working on plans to go to Mexico next year. Although we’re seeing plenty of sun here, it’s still quite cold. A little warm Vitamin D will be a nice change.

Sign Me Up

North Koreans are getting out there and travelling as well. These tourists (soldiers) had never left North Korea in their lives. Unfortunately, they have travelled to southwestern Russia with Ukrainian soldiers shooting and bombing them. Most of the North Koreans said it was still better than being at home.

News

In more important news, George RR Martin is looking to create a series spinoff about Bravos. It is expected to be an amazing, unpredictable slow burn that builds complex characters and exciting new worlds… that will be left unfinished leaving executives to provide a speedy unsatisfactory ending. So far, networks have inexplicably declined.

Words of Wisdom

1. Home is where the heart is.

I recently watched a show where a couple bought a new home and were very excited. “My new house is great even though it is at the top of our budget. It has a large open area with beautiful details, eye catching finishes, and plenty of natural light. It’s also quite large with loads of storage. This is the perfect home to sit comfortably… and spend all day scrolling on my phone.”

2. Be polite.

Overheard in a store: “Excuse me. Could you please hold my backpack while I’m shoplifting?”

3. Religion is difficult to understand.

Seen on X (formerly known as Twitter): “Thankful that the Lord woke me up today.”

Ummm, wouldn’t it be better to wake up in Heaven?

In Closing

Thank you for reading this edgy non-A.I. post. Hopefully, there will be monthly blog posts going forward. Stay with me. It’s now time for the ending joke. Enjoy!

I end all my blog posts with a joke or two. Here’s a joke:

Facebook

Bearing the Burden of a Kilometerstone

It’s a beautiful Blogtober. Thank you to everyone who sent messages about blog post 116. If you truly got it, it was a life changing, paradigm shifting, reality altering orgasmic word rearrangement that pierced the deepest parts of your brain and will be forever etched in your thought patterns. If not, it’s still the best thing you’ve read this year.

Enough about the past… as amazing as it was. It’s now time for Blog Post 117.

Kilometerstone Birthday

So many amazing people have turned 50 this year. Leonardo DiCaprio, Alanis Morrissette, Roy G. Mundheim, Christian Bale, and Sporty Spice… to name just a few. I am grateful to have spent last weekend celebrating 50 years on this planet in Port Alberni, B.C. Canada where I was born. It was still fun anyway. Many friends and family came out for the party that my wife arranged.  

Yes, I gave the town of Port Alberni a few fun shots during my speech, but it was all meant in good fun.

“I was asked why I would have my 50th birthday in Port Alberni. I thought, ‘Well, there is so little joy and so little to celebrate here that it would be great to bring this momentous occasion to this lousy town.’”

I then thanked everyone for coming to support my quest to become the world’s oldest human. “Unfortunately, I won’t see most of you at my 150th birthday so let’s make sure we enjoy tonight.”

Autumn Colors Have Arrived

Headlines Continued

Bear With Me

Bears have been in the news… and it’s bad news. “Tourist Charged By Bear at Jasper National Park”. I don’t think anyone should be charged to visit a national park, let alone be charged by a bear. Although if someone causes a fire, they should be charged by Smokey the Bear.

“Bear Attacks Man in His Own Garage.” That man should know better than to trespass in a bear’s garage. I think we can all agree that bears should have the right to defend their own garages.

Life Update

My health continues to improve. I have energy, vitality, and strength again. I’m back in the gym, practicing yoga, and going for regular interval walk/ runs. It feels surreal after having so many health issues over the past 5 years. Thank you to everyone who has sent words of encouragement and support.

Words of Wisdom

1. Let go of anxiety.

Anxiety is the illness of the 21st century. The internet, smartphones, and challenging ever-changing jobs have caused us to have more anxiety than ever before. Life is supposed to be easier than at any time in human history.

A woman in Florida decided to stay in her home for Hurricane Milton despite government orders to evacuate the area. She survived the storm and then described her anxiety as “through the roof”. Is the roof still there or is it in the neighbour’s yard?

2. Follow Instructions.

My friend had two male snails. She was shocked to see that they started having baby snails. ‘Nature finds away.’ I had to ask, “Did you get them wet? Did you feed them after midnight?”

3. Vote!

There are local elections here in western Canada as well as upcoming elections in the United States. I was asked who I thought was going to win the election. I replied, “I don’t know who will win but I know who is going to lose…. all of us.”

Thank you for reading this month’s blog post. Your support keeps me coming back to write more amazing content. It’s now time for the ending joke. Enjoy.

After completing my speech at my birthday party, I sat down to have dinner and chat with friends. A friend asked me if I had been doing much writing lately.

I responded, “Yeah, there’s the blog and I’ve been working on the screenplay for Jonah Chooses Amazing. I also wrote an amazing speech for my birthday party. It’s hilarious.”

Readers Choose Amazing, Headlining the Anniversary.

Happy September. It’s Blog Post #116. You would think that a blog that was mostly photos would be popular and without controversy. That appears not to be the case. I received a number of messages expressing a less than satisfactory reception for Blog Post #115. They’re just jokes and play on words. As far as the Sweden stuff goes, I can’t change the past. What happened, happened.

Life

My wife and I have returned to our life in beautiful Vancouver. We’re working again and planning our next excursions. We’re preparing for a big party next month (stay tuned) and thinking of a short trip to Mexico next year. I can then do that Ted Talk in Spanish that I’m constantly being harassed to do. Vamos a ver.

The Trip Continues…

It sure does. The earth keeps swinging past the sun and then back again as it always has and will continue to do so. Don’t be fooled by the rhetoric that it revolves arounds the sun or that the Earth rotates. I mean, come on. How gullible are the gullible? Very gullible.

For Fauske Sake

During our recent trip to Europe, my wife and I spent time with family in Fauske, Norway. It’s a small municipality of less than 10 000 people. While we were there, The Arctic Race of Norway (an international multiple stage bicycle race) passed by and I took this photo.  It was the second biggest thing to happen in Fauske in 2024.

Happy Anniversary!

It’s hard to believe that it is now one year ago that the sensational novel, Jonah Chooses Amazing was released to critical acclaim. In honor of this one year anniversary, the price has been slashed 25%. You can get your copy of this incredible novel here. Jonah Chooses Amazing

Writing Update

With all the requests I get for updates on my writing, I thought I’d throw a quick one in here. I’m still working on the screenplay for Jonah Chooses Amazing but it’s a long term project. My next book, The Regrets We Can’t Have is moving at a snail’s pace, but I hope to start sharing some updates in early 2025. Currently, I’m still selling copies of my first book, Nursing. The Funny Side of the Bedside despite it now being five years old. As for Jonah Chooses Amazing, the sales have really slowed. It’s been buried in a sea of so many novels that its greatness has not been fully discovered. It’s the chance you take when you self publish as I have. Most importantly, this masterful blog continues and will continue for some time. Thank you to everyone who supports all my writing endeavors.

Words of Wisdom

1. Headline writing is important.

I recently read a headline that said, ‘The Best States to Retire In’. I went to read the article. It was not at all what I expected. They talked about California, Florida, Arizona, and New York. I thought to myself, “Those aren’t the best states to retire in. The best states to retire in are healthy, happy, wealthy, calm, relaxed, content, active etc.”

2. Headlines can be strange.

I read a headline that said, “Camera Man Can’t Keep Up with Cheetah’s Speed.” Well, considering that cheetahs have a documented top speed of 103 km/ hour and the fastest human has been recorded going 44.99 km/ hour, it doesn’t seem to be worth even making a headline about it. “Plumber Unable to Stay Underwater as Long as Basking Shark”. How was a camera man with all that equipment going to even be close to the world’s fastest animal? If you strapped the camera and all the equipment on the cheetah, I’d still take the cheetah. “Cheetah Bogged Down by Cameras and Equipment Can’t Keep Up with Man”. There’s a joke here about the man being some sort of cheater but that’s for another blog.

3. Headlines rock… and leave questions.

“Dave Grohl Announced that He had Fathered a Child Outside His Marriage Earlier Today.”

4. Don’t steal from Jay Leno.

Thanks for reading this month’s blog post. “Readers Can’t Keep Up with Out-There, Nonsensical, Off-Putting, Obscure-Referencing Blog Post”.

I appreciate all the messages I’ve been getting via email, FB Messenger, and through my website… even if not always positive.

I don’t have an ending joke this time around. Instead, my wife insisted that I answer a question that she said everyone will be asking. I told her that the answer is clear and obvious. She said, “No, it’s not.” I said, “Yes! It is.” She said, “No, it isn’t.” I said, “Is so.” She said, “Isn’t.” I said, “Is too.” I decided to answer her question. Enjoy.

Wait! What was the biggest thing to happen in Fauske in 2024?

I wrote that already. International award winning author, Roy G. Mundheim was there visiting.

See the Canal By the Sea Without the ‘C’.

The summer may be coming to an end here in western Canada but It’s Blog Post #115 so no need to fret, fear, or suffer from extreme sadness. It’s all good. This month’s blog post is a little different. It’s a visual display from our trip to Holland, Norway, and even Sweden over three amazing weeks. It would be impossible to highlight the entire trip or give all the details of all the incredible things we saw and did along with all the great people we met. Instead, this will be an odd photo collection with abstract and absurd commentary. Would you expect anything less?

Amsterdam

Although we never saw a dam (Amsterdam is named for a 13th century dam on the Amstel River), we did see canals… and more canals, and even more canals.

–

–

Some of the canals were very dirty, especially in the Red Light District.

Sweden

In northern Norway, we took a hike up a mountain area called, “The Copper Top.”

We had fantastic views of the majestic Norwegian mountains. If you look way off in the distance, you can see the ordinary mountains of Sweden. If you look even closer, you can see their white flags.

We took a one day trip to Stromstad Sweden. My wife really wanted to go but I told her I couldn’t stand it for more than a day. Sweden also has canals, much cleaner and safer canals where less junk had been put in them.

–

Norway

It’s one of the richest countries in the world; progressive and modern.

They take canals to another level. Clean, sleek and inviting for a boatload of boats.

Words of Wisdom

  1. Batman is better than Superman. That debate was settled on this street in Amsterdam.

2. Do your research before going for a swim. I was going to swim across this beautiful stretch of ocean called Saltstraumen. Turns out that it is one of the strongest tidal currents in the world. I would not have made it.

Thanks for reading and looking at this month’s blog. Next month will see a return to the usual blogging greatness with all the joy and laughter that this blog has had but with less photos. For now, I leave you with the ending joke and a fundamental philosophical question. Enjoy.

We were going to take a harbor cruise when we were in Oslo but we couldn’t decide which boat we wanted to take;

“Tidevind” or “Fjordfart”.

Which one would you take?

Norway Bound. Pre-Trip Dritt

Another month, another blog post to tickle the amygdala, tease the cerebellum, and make you question everything you ever believed was real… or just a post about my upcoming trip to Norway. We’ll see where it goes. Thank you to everyone who read and provided feedback on Blog Post #113. It was no 114 but it was still good… like they all are.

Summertime

Here in Vancouver, it hasn’t been all that hot. There’s been rain, and wind, and cold. I’m sure the weather will improve the moment my wife and I get on a plane and travel to Europe, so be patient.

One of our big plans for this trip is to head north in Norway… not all the way north (although I’d love to one day) but more north than I’ve ever been. We’ll be travelling to Bodø in early August with a plan to catch the midnight sun. I’m pretty sure it’s the same sun we see here but just visible at a later time, but who knows? That’s why we travel. To learn new stuff about things. I’ll let you know what I find out about this “midnight” sun and its relation to the sun we all know.

Amsterdamn It

First, we’ll stop in Amsterdam. I’ve never been but I’ve heard so much about it. Pancakes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Heinekens in the Red Light District where you’re encouraged to film and take photos. Windmills and canals, lots and lots of canals. Did I miss anything? I can’t wait to get there.

Here’s a photo I took near my home in downtown Vancouver. I thought about asking for a ride. The price of plane tickets has skyrocketed since I last travelled (2019). How can anyone afjord to travel to Norway?

Words of Wisdom

1. Travel while you can, when you can, as much as you can. You’ll grow, experience, learn, and see things beyond your expectations. It is the life!

2. Don’t go to Sweden. There’s nothing to see there. The best thing about Sweden is they make good hockey players. You can see that in Vancouver.

I’m just joking of course… their hockey players aren’t that good.

If you’re concerned that I may have offended some Swedish people, don’t worry. They won’t get it.

3. BTW “Dritt” means “crap” in Norwegian.

Well, that’s it for the preview of my first real bit of travel since Japan in 2019. It’s been a long wait. Considering that in 2022 I didn’t believe I would be able to travel anywhere ever again, it’s exciting to be embarking on this amazing three week journey to one of the most beautiful countries in the world. I look forward to sharing photos, stories, and insights from Holland and Norway over the next couple of blog posts. Thanks for reading. It’s time for the ending jokes that Swedes won’t get. Enjoy.

“I’m going to Norway!”

“Do you speak the language?”

“I speak it like a Norwegian… that was born in Canada… to parents who only spoke English at home, and then I picked some up from going to Norway as an adult… so No, I don’t.”

_________________________________________________________________________________________

“Where in Europe are you going?”

“Norway!”

“Are you also going to Sweden?”

“No way!“

__________________________________________________________________________________________

I would like to apologize for my jokes about Sweden and the Swedish people. My wife is part Swedish and although it’s my duty to remind her regularly of her inferior heritage, it comes at a cost. I sometimes feel so much guilt… that I can’t come up with more hilarious jokes, digs, and put downs to really drive home the superiority of Norwegians. Heia Norge!

The Snail Who Gritted Its Teeth and Slept Its Way to Success.

How June doing? What June doing? Happy Father’s Day. It’s Blog Post #113. If that wasn’t enough to get excited about, I’m sharing a big personal announcement.

To the Road

My wife and I are travelling again. Having not truly travelled since 2019, we are excited to be heading to Holland for a couple days before going to Norway for three weeks.

To Health and Back

My health continues to improve and hence, travel is back on. I’m feeling more and more like myself with each week and month that passes. It’s quite exciting. Unfortunately, the last 5 plus years of health problems have left me weak, overweight, fatigued (although not near as much as when I was at my sickest), and feeling much older than I am (I turn 50 this year).

Now, I’m back working out and running albeit light and easy. My energy is coming back. I’m excited to wake up in the morning again. It’s amazing.

Pick Up the Pace

I’ve felt like a snail… a dead snail, a snail without a shell, a snail in a French restaurant. Now, I’m feeling alive… like a live snail… with a shell, putting itself out there into the world, prepared to travel, and take on whatever life throws its way. There was no final snail in the coffin. Snailed it.

By the Skin of Your Teeth

With over three weeks of travel planned, I thought I should get to the dentist to make sure everything is good. Is there anything quite like travelling to a foreign country and having dental problems once you get there? Then you have to go to a sporting goods store, buy a hockey skate, make friends with a volleyball… I’d like to avoid all that.

My dentist recommended a root canal.

I said, “No way. Let’s find another route.”

Words of Wisdom

1. Don’t be afraid to find another way.

With discount airlines, checked bags and even carry on bags are so expensive that you’re better off travelling with no luggage. It’s cheaper to arrive at your destination, buy all the clothes and toiletries you’ll need and then donate to the local charity before you leave. Snailed it!

2. Be helpful when the opportunity presents.

Three kids were throwing around an American football. When one of them missed a catch, the ball went down a hill and into the ocean. The tide began to take it away. At the same time, a man was on the shore was getting into a kayak. The kids all ran over and asked him to get the ball which had continued to move further and further away from the shore. The man in kayak paddled and paddled and paddled until he reached the ball. He then took the ball, put in his kayak, and began paddling… further out. He yelled back at the kids, “See you at the Superbowl, bitches!”

3. Go to the dentist before you go on any extended trip to a foreign country.

Thanks for reading this month’s blog. More details of our trip are coming next month. Stay tuned. It’s now time for the ending joke. It’s been more and more difficult to come up with original ending jokes. Here’s why. Enjoy.

My wife wanted to get a new bed. The old one was sagging and creaky. It needed to be replaced. I was very sad.

I told her, “I’ve done some of my best work in this bed….

sleeping, and coming up with blog jokes.”

The Mays of Our Lives

It’s Blog Post # 112. May it find you well. It’s been a nice transition to sunny days and comfortable temperatures here in western Canada.

Vancouver, May 2024

Age is Just a Numb

I find myself dealing with transitions. My job is changing, my work scheduling is changing, my health is changing (for the better), all while getting older. I’m preparing for the upcoming move from 49 to 50. The number doesn’t bother me. I feel privileged to still be here. If my health continues to improve, I care even less about the number. How quickly it seems that I went from 30 to 50. It is said that from 50 to 70 will go even quicker. However, I’ve decided to slow down, appreciate the moment, and stop to smell the flour. That should slow things down.  

Summer’s Coming

I’ve secured a large chunk of time free from work for the summer. Now, my wife and I are trying to figure out if we’re doing a local nearby road trip to Alberta or flying to northwestern Europe (Holland and Norway). I’m hopeful for the latter (no offense to Alberta and the many great people we know there). My wife and I haven’t really travelled since late 2019 and a trip to Europe would be amazing. Think of the blog photos that could be coming your way.

Jonah Chooses Amazing Update

Sales of my novel continue but have slowed. It never picked up the steam of my first book, Nursing: The Funny Side of the Bedside, which is still selling copies. I’ve been continuing to plug away at the JCA screenplay but that is a work in progress that will take time.

Words of Wisdom

1. Give every May everything you have. Then, replace May with day and do that.

2. Stop staring at your phone. It’s destroying your posture, your eyesight, and your ability to recognize danger… or even a pole, or a pothole, or that wall you’re about to walk into.

3. Encuentra un pasatiempo que ames.

Thanks for reading this month’s blog. It’s been more of a struggle to get these out over the past few months. It might be time for a formula change or a rethink of the entire blog. Am I getting bored of being this funny and so spectacularly clever? Maybe. Is it no longer a challenge to show off my literary and literal chops? Could be. Stay tuned for the evolution of this groundbreaking blog. It’s time for the ending ‘joke’ or commentary or anecdote, or chop of life brought to life. Enjoy.

An airline passenger was found to be sleeping in the overhead baggage compartment. He turned out to be from the future where people fly in sleeping pods. He was then charged for being an excessively large carry on bag. This cost was more than a first class ticket.

I think my wife and I are going on a road trip to Alberta.
