Jet Lag The Final Frontier

This is Darryl. I just wanted to say something about this jet lag thing..... This is your brain, and this is a food processor- and not a cheap one from KMart but a high end one with lots of torque like the Bosch one. Put it on the highest "chop through small branches" setting, and then whirl your brains for about two minutes. Now, when you pour them back in your skull you can only pour 1/2 of your brains at the most because we are going to pump in air at a high pressure to fill the rest of the space.

Next, grease the lobby of your hotel with Crisco shortening, then have a pair of rollerblades forcibly tied onto your feet. Now put your new daughter on the other side of the lobby, so that you have no choice but to walk across the greased marble floor to get her. And just to finish it off, activate the default setting in what is left of your brain that causes you to finish only about 1/2 your sentences, and you have some idea of what this jet lag is like. Bless your heart Randy, I'm glad they pay you to travel to China so often because otherwise I would think you were crazy.

Now, what was I saying........................

Me again! I shared your blog with Randy about the jet lag and he just cracked up. . . he said, just think, you get to have the "stupds" two times. . .one when you are there . . .and when you can complete a sentence. . .you come home and speak in 1/2 sentences all over again!! Also, we laughed about the slick floors. . .Randy and I stayed in the Marco Polo in Xiamen and I remember the shiny slick floors there. Randy said it seems like they often have a wet sign too. He recalled a time that he and a customer ran across the street from their hotel to get something for breakfast. . .when they entered their hotel. . .Randy said he heard all of this commotion and looked over and the customer's hands were up in the air and his feet were going all over the place like being on ice. . . hands and feet went straight up. . .he landed flat on his back. Randy said. . . man, are you alright??? LOL!!
