Visualization Exercises

There was a short story the other day in the newspaper that made me laugh, and I think it's worth sharing. Gary Coleman, the diminutive former child TV star who has had a rather unspectacular adult life, was the subject. Gary (who is 4'8" according to the chap who looked it up for me) was arrested after he got into an argument at a bowling alley. The topic of the argument wasn't disclosed in what I read, so I'm taking submissions for what you think would have been a likely topic. Anyway, the argument appears to have continued on into the parking lot (bad sign for any argument, going long enough to end up in the parking lot, even worse arguing with a 4'8" guy outside a bowling alley) where Gary got in his car (pause here for visualization #1) and backed over the foot of the other guy.

Now, it's unfortunate enough that the other guy, who wasn't named, but I will call him, um, let's see, let's say "Willis", was incensed enough to keep going at it with Gary, but then to get his foot under Gary's Goodyears, well, that just stinks for him. And probably for Gary. But not for us.

When your day starts to suck, later today or tomorrow, or the next day, go to visualization #2:

Gary Coleman bowling.

You can't help but smile.

Topic 2 for today comes from Mrs. PFOS. She went to the McDonalds in our town the other day for coffee. The power was out at McD's, so you had to drive up and order at the window.

The real problem was that los empleados, having no pictures of hamburgers or fries or apples pies to push on their cash registers, were having a devil of a time processing orders. They had no idea how much to charge, so they were asking customers how much the items should be.

Then they had to ask how much change to give. Then they had to figure out how to count it.

The rest of the details about who they were/are, I will leave up to you to infer, and to shake your head, and then go back and visualize Gary Coleman bowling.
