one more work related rant: Old lady? You asked me if we had any black capri pants. Oh MAN do we have black capris. In every fabric and fit imaginable. Yet every rack I pointed you to, you turned your nose up at. You asked for them to be “stretchy.” I showed you 3 kinds of stretchy. No go. Did you really want black capris? Or were you just trying to be a bitch?
shoe update: the sandals I’m keeping, though I’m breaking them in slowly, as the straps are a little snug. Leather will stretch. The mary janes will probably go back, unless any of you would like some pomegranate mary janes, size 41? Pic here.
I get all the fun questions.
Kev: so…the guys at work and I have a question for you. About genetics. *smirk*
ESC: oh geez, here we go….WHAT?
Kev: ummm…never mind.
ESC: no, come on, I know it’s probably perverted, spit it out.
Kev: OK so…is it possible to be identical cousins? *snerk*
ESC: like, to be twins and also cousins?
Kev: yeah, something like that. like maybe through inbreeding, or something?
ESC: hmmmmm…OH WAIT, I GOT IT…KIND OF!
Kev: what?
ESC: OK, you know that fraternal twins are formed from two different eggs and two different sperm? Well, I don’t know how common this would be*, but I suppose a woman could have sex with a man while she’s double ovulating, and his sperm can fertilize one egg. And then she could go off and have sex with his brother…err…or her brother I guess…ew…and he could fertilize the other egg. And THEN you’d have fraternal twins that are also cousin. No guarantee of being identical, though. Unless the brothers were twins themselves..hmmmm…
Kev: that is awesome. you are as brilliant as you are beautiful**
* More common than I thought, apparently. A google search led me to a couple links that are very interesting. HUH! You can be pregnant once and still have two baby daddies! CLASSY! That makes the paternity testing on Maury THAT MUCH MORE FUN!
** He did not say this part exactly, but that’s what I heard anyway.
Happy friday, everyone. And stay classy.
But they wouldn’t be cousins, they’d be fraternal twin half-siblings because they share a common mother.
How much do you want to bet they have a bet riding on this?
hmmm….pomegrante in size 41…I have a size 9 US foot and I think that is about right…hmmm…
As for the other - I think ewwwww and for the bitch - well, I worked retail - she said black capris and really meant red hot pants - how are you to know??
Talisman - they’d be siblings AND cousins - that’s why the baby daddys are brothers. half cousin, half siblings.
PW: good god, I hope not.
Aimee - actually they are the equivalent of 10.5/11 US. I may just exchange them for a different style
Ah yep, you’re right. In my NyQuil induced coma I was thinking that the half-sibling would over-ride the half-cousin thing but no, it doesn’t. Yay for NyQuil! Better living through chemistry!
Pomegranante Mary Janes???? DUDE! Where do I find such a thing???
Now I can’t sleep… thanks!
