Wow... I should've clicked on the link to this comic a <I>long</I> time ago. <P>Btw, the "how many fingers am I holding up" quizlet reminds me of...<P> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>
"Slowness in Answering," she said into the handheld. "When was the last time you slept?"<P>"1940," I said promptly, which is the problem with Quickness in Answering.<P>She typed some more. "Have you been experiencing any difficulty in distinguishing sounds?"<P>"No," I said, smiling at her. Infirmatary nurses usually resembled something out of the Spanish Inquisition, but this one had an almost kindly face, the sort an assistant torturer, the one who straps you to the rack or holds the door to the Iron Maiden open for you, might have.<P>"Blurring of vision?" she asked.<P>"No," I said, trying not to squint.<P>"How many fingers am I holding up?"<P>Slowness in Answering or not, this question required some thought. Two was the most likely number, being easily confused with both three and one, but she might have chosen five to confuse me, and if that was the case, should I answer four, since the thumb isn't technically a finger? Or might she be holding her hand behind her back?<P>"Five," I said finally.

<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>[/b]<P>that's what i keep telling people- if they click sooner, there are less archives to read, and therefore they don't have to stay up so late reading them and then get fired the next day for falling asleep while mumbling things like "...that's on crack...zzzzzz"<P>..okay, so maybe i don't tell people that... ^_~<P>------------------
