Observations on Important Stuff

Here's an observation and a question: In every shoot-em-up movie I've ever seen there comes a moment when the hero dives to the floor because bad guys are firing at him through the windows, walls or doors usually with automatic weapons spitting out dozens of rounds. The hero never gets hit though, because the shooters only fire at what is roughly a waist high level. My question is, have bad guys never seen a movie? Don't they know the hero is on the floor? Is there something wrong with their guns, they can't shoot ankle high? Okay that's three questions, but c'mon, do they all have low IQ's?

And speaking of Bush.

Another thing I need to know is about sneezing. Sneezing is one of those things that I suffer from. Anyone else share this? When I sneeze all the heat leaves my body and for 5 or 6 seconds I am just frozen from head to toe. Is this weird or common? Somebody take a poll.

Flipping the dial, I come across reruns of a tv show called, "Everwood." This is not a pornographic show as you first might guess or even a medical condition requiring treatment by, say, the E.R. staff, but rather a show about, among other protagonists, a teenage boy, which, now that I think about it, would also be a good guess. Everwood. Sounds painful and no doubt requiring a clever tailor.

Straight must be a word that drives people learning English totally bonkers. Even little British and American kids.

"That's right Dear, sound it out."

"Strah ig hut."

"Good boy."
