Hey.....!
It wasn't MY brown cloud....although, I'm sure I was held responsible by passersby...not fair, although I've heard the definition of 'fair' is a place with balloons and pigs....!

A little more information than I needed to know, Dandell.
Brown cloud?

One of our family members that will remain unnamed...
Likes to pull that on me in an aisle in the supermarket. The old 'release and flee'...leaving me standing there amidst a brown cloud, left alone to take the blame...evil.

One problem though, Strat, is that apparently my impersonation of a stroke looks a lot more like epilepsy.

My grandfather actually used to employ that ruse quite a bit, Dandell.
More often than I care to remember, in fact.

I think that is a very good suggestion,
unless you're naturally just an asshat, in which case you should ahve a stroke for real...

Along those same lines....
I was watching Oprah once, where they had a 'Miss Manners' of sorts, and expert on etiquette. Oprah asked what would you do if you accidentally passed gas. The 'expert', with a perfectly straight face, replied, "You would look to the person on your left."

Me too. Btw, they would still be the same age.
There is the time of existence, and the man-made time. Anyways, the time of their existence is still the same no matter where they are physically.
Okay! I'm such a nerd. Good night, Pretty!

Okay. If X was born last year, at 10pm Pacific time, and Y was born last year, same day and time, but in NY, so it'd would be 1:00am Eastern. This year, X moved to Japan, which is what? Like almost a day a head of US, so is X older now?

Not quite.
I was also painted in sepia make-up. And carried cards that said things.
The hardest part was the not talking, though.

I think it's more embarrassing to have a stroke, actually.
Now, what's
really embarrassing is to suddenly die while your are doing something. Wooo! Imagine how your death would eventually become a local joke!
