In the department of things that only amuse me…

I realize this has nothing to do with anything I usually talk about over here, but it is an observation I am making.

I really enjoy the New Age channel on my XM radio. I’ve had it on today in the background, and it’s worked beautifully as background music. But occasionally, when they need a station ID, this woman with a slight British accent comes on and says something poetic. She seems to actually be reciting some poetry, though I haven’t paid attention to what she says.

It did, however, occur to me that it would be highly, highly amusing if the posh British lady said something completely out of the blue like, “There once… was a man… from Nantucket.” and then proceeded to recite the rest of the limmerick with the same intensity with which she recites everything else.

OK, possibly I may be the only one who would laugh, but there you have it, the strange workings of my mind. You should, by all rights, be terrified.
