Wah, you didn't pick mine!! *pouts* Admittedly, it's one of the more generic ones, but I DO find myself asking this like ten times a month: Where did all the time go?

Wait, I thought that "Well I thought it was funny" one was Stephen Colbert's, and Joan's was the one about the sex/hysterectomy? Either way, those two were definitely my faves. Lizz

Aww, I'm sorry! I was power-reading the whole post (all 20 pages of it, or whatever) and didn't see that that one was yours. Also, most of the ones I picked were on the funny end, instead of the poignant end, which is where yours is. That said, I have a sad feeling that in my last five seconds of life, it'll actually be your words running through my head. If it makes you feel any better, I didn't even have the balls try to come up with something original; I just ran off to my lame-o livejournal page to post everyone else's clever shit.

Also, you're right about Colbert. I guess in my power-reading, I also missed that the answers were scrambled. Doh. Somehow, the "well, I thought it was funny" quote is funnier coming from Joan Rivers, too. Oh well, I still like it.
