  1. You know, I was thinking that same thing for #34... I say it all the time when people ask about Summer versus Winter. Strangely, though, I've never thought about the "being arrested part".

    And now that you mention it, I do keep TWO mouse-pads on my desk; one for my mouse, one for whatever beverage I might be drinking at the time.
