Word Games

This morning I was listening to NPR, and they were doing a piece on last year's financial market kablooey. (It's the 1 year anniversary of the Lehman Brothers collapse?) The interviewer asked a woman in the biz for her impression of the time. She said it was literally mind boggling.

Literally mind boggling?

I imagine that the collapse of Lehman brothers, and the subsequent meltdowns, literally turned her brain into a bunch of small cubes with letters printed on them, which someone put in a small box and shook up. When the cubes settled, for a limited amount of time, they used the up-facing letters to spell out words.

I hope nothing is ever literally mind boggling to me...

Cockroach stains sidewalks;

into the bedroom to dust

the nightstand again.
