You know how Friday's are, day winding down, don't want to start any new projects, finish up, clean up and get out.
The mind turns to idle thoughts and suddenly questions come up that have no answer. I thought why not post the question here where there is such an abundent source of intellingence and there is bound to be someone here who is willing to waste some time on a Friday to read this.
Question of the Week:
Why do they call it "dusting the furniture" . You don't put dust on the furniture you take it off, so shouldn't it be call "Undusting" ?
Just random thoughts.
Disclaimer: the previous post may not be an original thought but may have been subliminally inserted in my subconsious after too many years of watching George Carlin, Monty Python, Gallager, and Steve Martin.

Of course this being Friday, maybe we just don't care.
Where's my beer.

Well since this is Friday, I went way too far and found the following:

Parents need more words to describe the weird things that happen to them on a regular basis. Here are some suggestions.

2. CARPETUATION (kar pet' u a shun)n. 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 (dis kon fekt') v. 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 (el bon'iks) n. The actions of two people maneuvering for one armrest in a movie theater.
5. UNDUST (un dust')n. The small line of debris that refuses to be swept onto the dust pan and keeps backing a person across the room until he finally decides to give up and sweep it under the rug.
6. LACTOMANGULATION (lak' to man gyu lay' shun)n. The act of manhandling the "open here" spout on a milk container so badly that one has to resort to the 'illegal' side.
7. PEPPIER (peph ee ay')n. The waiter at a fancy restaurant whose sole purpose seems to be walking around asking diners if they want ground pepper.
