Pep-Boys, HHGTTG, and Haiku
I bought new tires at Pep-Boys today and it took them ALL DAY to get to my car and install the tires. I handed over my keys in the morning and drove away at 3:30PM. Ridiculous. I had inadvertently left my book (Ellis Peters' St. Peter's Fair, a Brother Cadfael mystery) at home so I only had my new Creative Zen Nano Plus to entertain me. So I listened to a few episodes of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (original radio broadcast) and wrote haiku on a notepad.
Three arms, two noggins,
and a single hoopy brain:
Zaphod Beeblebrox
Mice tell me they'll get
the screaming heebie-jeebies
if they rebuild Earth.
