an excerpt from chapter 23 of my new book:
"solutions to all your problems in eleven easy steps".
scenario:
benjamin gives stephanie
a box of lady grey tea at work.
stephanie needs to drink lady grey tea
to cure her frazzledness.
problem:
stephanie only has a metal mug at work.
metal mugs do not go in microwaves.
at least, not very well they don't.
frazzledness increasing rapidly.
solution:
1. place tea bag in mug.
2. remove ice cube tray from freezer.
3. empty ice cubes.
4. fill now-empty ice cube tray with water.
5. place in microwave on high for 2 minutes.
6. dump contents of ice cube tray into metal mug.
7. do not burn pinky.
8. let steep 2-3 minutes.
9. remove tea bag.
10. drink.
11. be unfrazzled.
caution:
contents may be hot after heating.
apparently,
i cannot find a solution for
my writing mechanics :(
sorry about that.
the period after the title of my book
should go inside the quotes.
bad, stephanie.
bad, stephanie.
happiness. :)

metal object + microwave = instant unfrazzledness
tea or no tea.
And Ichiro knew that, but I'm sure he admires your survival skills.
Kumiko +5 insight.
Posted by: kisho at September 29, 2003 04:58 PMvery ingenious. if this were a 12-step program, would step 12 be refilling the ice cube tray?
