Farther Down The Rabbit Hole

A phone call with my Lovely Bride:

Lovely Bride: "Guess what?"

Me, half working, half paying attention: "What?"

Lovely Bride: "I got to hold a human brain today."

Me, fully paying attention: "What?"

Lovely Bride: "A human brain."

Me: "Oh. Huh. Really?"

Lovely Bride: "Do you need anything at the store?"

Me: "No."

Lovely Bride: "Okay. I have to go. Bye."

Me: "Bye."

And you didn't tell her to bring it home so you could use it in the bake-off! Snag, you're slipping.

was it functioning?

Because I'd like to know if a disembodied brain pulsates, like in the movies.

Adorable Girlfriend said...

Brain?!

Someone is becoming an NP or RN...

Jennifer said...

You know, a scrotum sometimes looks like a brain. She was sure which end of the person she was holding, right???

Kathleen said...

Oh my god.

I know need to go scrub my brain.

or my scrotum. Who can tell?

Jennifer said...

Sorry Kathleen.

Snag said...

It's amazing how much the medical and culinary arts have in common.

As to Jennifer's comment, I've known more than a few women who think the brain and scrotum are pretty much interchangeable for men.

Did everyone see the Holiday Tree Brain at my place?

It pulsates...

Jennifer said...

I thought that was a cookie, BP. A cookie that sprouted an elf hat.

fish said...

I have conversations like that all the time. I am usually on the "guess what I did" side though.

fish said...

And was it an actual rabbit hole? If not the proper sentence is further down the rabbit hole. Or perhaps father down the rabbit hole is most accurate.

BP might be slipping.

Nope, I 've given up pedantry for pendantry.

Now I just hang around.

Hah!! GlueBirl started it.

Is this a Halloween post where the brains are actually macaroni? Are scrotums made from macaroni, too?

Anonymous said...

I'd love to know who's scrotum led Jennifer to that frightening conclusion.

fish said...

It is clear that at some point in her life, Jennifer was left holding the bag.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

Bad, fish!!! Bad fish!!!

Jennifer said...

I'm not talking to fish anymore. I'm staying with warm-blooded creatyoors.

Adorable Girlfriend said...

AG would be more impressed if she touched a moose yarble.

Brando said...

It's like Jennifer has become a different person since she dropped the p-bomb. She's gone from Cosby Show Lisa Bonet to Angel Heart Lisa Bonet.

Jennifer said...

Nothing like a blood-drenched comment to get everybody's undies in a knot.

Kathleen said...

All I am hoping for is that Jennifer's next art project isn't inspired by this thread.

Snag said...

Of course it was an actual rabbit hole. Where else would I get dinner? And then while I'm down there trying to put food on my family, you all turn this place into a smutatorium.

Shocking.

That's how things roll in Snagburbia.
