The lights are on but nobody's home
One taco short of a combination platter
Elevator don't go to the top floor
Believe it or don't, DW started collecting these last week. I told
her somebody's probably already compiled a list on the web someplace
(but I'm too tired to google right now...)
I'm not sure if she just thinks they're funny or if she's looking for
the right words to describe me...
((((Donna,))))) "stuff" happens. BTDT You did the right thing.
