My husband and I were watching a tv show about a comatose patient stranded in an icy outpost. The brilliant Dr. House, using an video link, orders the patient's boyfriend to drill a hole in her skull to relieve brain pressure or else she’ll die. The situation is frankly horrifying. As the boyfriend positioned a whirring drill over the patient’s head, I blurted, "Oh my God, honey. If that were you, that drill bit would not be strong enough to break through your thick skull."
He laughed so hard that he snarfed his tea, and then said, "Time to update LiveJournal."
