Plus I have a zit on my chin

[resonant]

I think the universe is messing with me. I don't know how else to explain all the minor stressors coming up one after another.

First it was the house: The washing machine was leaking, and then it fixed itself. The microwave was tripping the circuit breaker, and then that fixed itself. The water heater, alas, did not fix itself.

Then my parents came up with a scheme for my mother's birthday that required us to fly down, stay two days, and fly back up -- a trip too short even to bother to reset my watch.

Then it was the computer; AT&T's one and only local access number went down and stayed down for ten days.

And just about the time it went back up, my car refused to start.

You know what my theory is? I think I'm being recalibrated. Or possibly beta-tested.

So! None of these are major enough to require sympathy, but I'd love it if you'd tell me a joke.

Pavlov's Cats: "Pavlov's experiments with dogs are well documented:

'Day 1: Rang bell. Dog ate. Proved dog had ears.....'

You don't hear much about Pavlov's cats, though:

'Day 1: Rang bell - cat answered the door.' ...'
'Day 2: Rang bell - cat said he had eaten earlier' ... '
'Day 3: Tried to ring bell - but Cat had stole battery' ...
'Day 4: Cat rang the bell, I ate food'" [Eddie Izzard]
