vacuuming upstairs, I loved this!  Thanks, Tom.

off with your toes.

2. CARPERPETUATION - The act, when vacuuming, of running over a string or a
piece of lint at least a dozen times, reaching over and picking it up,
examining it, then putting it back down to give the vacuum one more chance.

3. DISCONFECT - To sterilize the piece of candy you dropped on the floor by
blowing on it, assuming this will somehow 'remove' all the germs.

4. ELBONICS - The actions of two people maneuvering for one armrest in a

give up and sweep it under the rug.

6. PEPPIER - The waiter at a fancy restaurant whose sole purpose seems to be
walking around asking diners if they want ground pepper.

to it.

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving
safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in
sideways, chocolate in one hand, a drink in the other, body thoroughly used
up, totally worn out and screaming 'WOO HOO. What a ride!'"
